l we made it to India and did a tour of West darjeeling and Sikkem provences goin up to about 12 000 ft being driven in a Mahindra and then back to the Boarder town with Bhuthan where we were met by our Guide for Bhuthan who managed all the formalitys at the boarder.
We are now 8 days into our 12 day excursion and visited places with names like Thimphu Bumtang and other unpronouncable places . we have passed been through 2 mountain passes at about 2400 meters above sea leaval and the air is quite thin and experiencing a mild bout of altitude sickness but visisting monastries and getting magnificent vieves in the Himalayers.
The vehicle that we have been allocated is a Toyota Prado not the most comfortable but bettr than most here ther dosent seem to be any land rovers here most are Mahindras toyotas and suzukies for the local taxis
we have a few more days here befor we fly to Nepal where we have a helicoptor flight to base camp Everest and hope we have aclimatised to the altitude as this is 17 600 ft but we will only be there for a few hours and its another thing off the bucket list .
