Askole to Jhola - 10,377ft

So we leave the last traces of civilization and head towards Jhola our next stop. It was a long day but an easy walk.

Early in the day we reached an open field known to the locals as Tisar Shahrang or Tisar's Polo Ground. Legend says that King Tisar caught his rival Babel while he was escaping. Babel was caught when two mountains closed on Tisars orders catching Babels horses tail. Tisar then proceeded to play Polo with his rivals head.

We reached our final destination Jhola around 2:00pm. It was a very hot day and all of us have headaches from walking in the sun. Jhola has running water and toilets, so I took a bath (probably the last one for a while) and then sat in the only small piece of shade. Thanks god for small blessings.

Our porters were here 4 hours before us, we are either slow or incredibly out of shape.
