When the Valley opened a bit we could see parts of Kanchenjunga
Anda Phedi Huts can be seen ahead at 10:45AM
We reached Tseram at 1:30pm. There were three Teahouses open and after discussing Rates our team decided to stay at Yalunkhang Teahouse. There were some snow peaks visible from Tseram. But not much due to clouds.
I stayed here sharing a Room with Manzey. Later in the evening we had Rakshi and dinner of Chappati, Curry and Dal. Slept early at 8:00PM and had a good sleep till 6:00AM
