Itinerary description
The longest day of our trip.
We left camp and had an early climb to the pass. It really helped to get going and warm up after a cold night. From the pass, we were able to see the rainbow mountains. We walked across the valley in between and got there right before the whole crowd of day tourist, who have to hike up form the car park. We got a few looks as we headed down due our big packs :). We passed the car park toward the trail to Jampa. We pushed that day, since my hiking buddy started to feel the altitude and we planed to finish the following day. You could easy do that day in two.
