I woke up numb and sore, having slept in a breached fetal position all night.
The sun was scorching our campsite, in contrast to the Arctic conditions encumbering us throughout the night. I enjoyed an outdoor breakfast while glowing rays kissed the snowy peaks of the mountains – a picturesque view. We cleared up our tents and made our way back up to the monastery to continue the trail beyond the monk’s hut.
