Into the mountains of Bhutan
Our trek into the high mountains of Bhutan had began and we eased our way up the hillside to a camp at 3300m amongst the trees. The next day, our procession of horses, cook, guides and horseman hiked to the pass at 4300m before descending to make camp on the plateau at Labatama. Behind us, the 7000m peaks of the Tibet-Bhutan border ringed the horizon, with Kangchenjunga just beyond.
