Snow is starting to come down on our way from Gorak Shep to Dzongla, but the lake still glows a beautiful glacial blue

as I said, scenic viewpoint coffee

 

making our way to the real Cho La Pass (and there is still snow on the ground)

 

of course it still includes scenic mountain views

 

Tip: to make it down a snowy mountain, use your buttocks. Improvement on comfort if you're wearing Gortex pants
