It started as a cold and wet morning at Karkara base camp, but the weather improved sufficiently for an awesome helicopter flight deep into the mountains. The helicopter dropped me in the middle of nowhere with my 2 guides who spoke virtually no English. We took a load of gear up a glacier after crossing a freezing cold glacial torrent. Then we returned to our tent at the helicopter dropoff point and camped - 3200m.
