Day 06: Rest at Kyanjin Gompa

28 April, 2007
We woke up at six in the morning and checked Laura's condition with Matt and we noticed that she is ok. After taking breakfast, we walked to Kyanjin RI at 07:30 with pack lunch (Tibetan bread and some chocolates for guests and we have som biscuits cookies -it's better to carry more than two liters water per person). After careful acclimatization, we reached up to Kyanjin RI, highest point for this time! And the views of Tserko RI, Yala Peak (near Tserko RI), Yansa Tsenji (6575m -we saw it first while we walked up from Kyanjin Gompa), Langtang Lirung on the north side, glaciers are near and amazing view. We saw Naya Kanga (5844m), Gon Shon Po, Dorje Lakpa on the south part. After exploring some hours on the top and took some photos, we returned back to hotel by the ridge of hill -the way is difficult and adventure. It's recommended to start up to Kyanjin RI as earlier as possible in the morning due to disturb of cloud and winds in the afternoon time. We returned back at hotel at 12:00PM and took shower. I read some book after taking lunch. We checked whether phone facility available because we had to inform at Kathmandu office that we are in Kyanjin Gompa. Here is phone facility but the rate is terrible, all calls at RS350 per minute. The temperature was freezing! Overnight stayed at same hotel.
