I couldn't resist taking too many photos of the rhody forest.
There were some beautiful white orchids on some of the rhody trees.
We finally made it to our teahouse at 1630 topping out at a little over ten thousand feet having climbed almost exactly 5000 feet today.
Many of the buildings are built with dry laid stones without mortar.
The wife used this stove to heat water for tea when we arrived and cooked dinners to order for six trekkers plus two guides and three porters.
This is her china cabinet. Meals were served on everyday dishes of stainless steel and plastic.
This building collapsed during the earthquake and has been rebuilt.
The 2015 earthquake knocked down another teahouse next door. Now the fog. Temp was 54 degrees F when we arrived. I'll be sleeping in by feather bag tonight.
