Looking up from Tseram, towards the initial climb to Sele-La ...
the way we will go to join the trail to Kanchenjunga North-BC ...
after we come back to Tseram ... from Oktang South-BC
After lunch I separated out my stuff that I need to carry on to Ramche & Okhtang .. and leave the rest of stuff here to pick up on our return from SBC. That will reduce load for Mingma for next 2 days.
In the evening we all had a celebration and fun with Rakshi (the local strong Beer) and had a ball of the time.
