TingriEn route to EverestWe have a rest day at Tingri 15 April - Tingri 4300mHot springs and a short walk or a longer day hike? The hot springs option won. The dogs didn't - no bites! (I have been attacked by six dogs previously, very luckily escaping without even being bitten; Kim was recently bitten in the Manaslu region and flew back to Kathmandu for rabies shots, and a few days later flew back to rejoin with her trekkers). We bonded with Team California, meeting Jordan (13 years old) and his team. Paul is a total surfer-skier-California dude, Karen a yogini!
