Today, we will travel to Thorong La Passes after rising early and feeling eager to begin our adventure. One of the world’s highest routes is Thorong La Pass. It is the hardest day of our trekking, but it is also the most unusual. With the intention of reaching Thorang La by 9 or 10 am, we will set off on our journey early in the morning, at about 4 am. In the unlikely event that we postpone it, the weather might cause some issues. The ascent will be tough but manageable. Nonetheless, there may be some problems due to the strong winds and the massive snowfall in the area.
