We woke up in Goli Gompa to some beautifull weather clear skies ment we could see the peaks of the Himalayan mountains around us on all sides. We prepared for a full day of carrying our bikes. 4 hours of acent with the bikes on our backs. We climbed though some alien looking forests, looking more like they belonged in a lord of the rings movie than reality. Half way to the top we stopped at a small house for some noodle soup and Snickers. The house was run by the funniest couple of older ladies We did not share a common language so we communicated through gestures and smiles. Full on energy we headed up, 2 hours of bike portaging later we arrived at Pickey Base. At Pickey Base there was litteraly nothing. Only a small guest house, amazing views of the surrounding mountain and some roaming cows. At 3700 meters we could see all the way down to the valley were we started and I realized just how far we had climbed. We spent the night huddeling around a bucket of heated coal as the temperatures dropped below zero celcius.
