November&#8217;s Paleochora Himalayan Expedition.\u00a0 Our international team of ten consisted of Michelle, Andre, Klervi &amp; Bernard (French), Karin (Swiss), Marianne &amp; Josee (Dutch), and Jane, Lindsey &amp; myself (English), all of us either living in or with a close connection to Paleochora.\u00a0 We met up in Kathmandu, flying in from Athens, Paris and Amsterdam, via Istanbul and Delhi, then two days later traveled seven hours in our team \u201cbus\u201d to Arughat, on the worst roads I&#8217;ve ever seen, in places almost destroyed by monsoon rain, and the start of our 14-day trek.<\/p><div class=\"szoyg6a05b9d982bd0\" ><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- convertri page leaderboard -->\n<ins

breakfast, and we were usually walking before 8am.\u00a0 For four days we would follow the valley of the Burhi Gandaki river, often high above it, gradually acclimatising and gaining height.\u00a0 Then a steep ascent beside the tributary of the Shiar Khola into the almost hidden Tsum Valley, below the peaks of Ganesh Himal and Sringi Himal, over 7,000m high, and both, I later discovered, with only one ascent, in the mid-1950s.<\/p>\n<p>The well-marked trail, narrow at times, and used by mules and later yaks, took us across steel suspension bridges and some precarious-looking wooden ones, through small Nepalese villages amid stunning scenery, and by late afternoon each day to our overnight campsite\u00a0 &#8211; and welcome tea, followed by a substantial evening meal.<\/p>\n<div

during the day were replaced, after sunset, by cold starlit nights, and by 8pm we were usually in the warmth of our down sleeping bags.\u00a0 Camping at Lar (3,245m) after a visit to Rachen Gompa monastery, it fell to below 0c overnight, and we were glad to be moving the next morning.\u00a0 Our highest point was above Mu Gompa monastery, at 3,700m, tantalisingly close to the Tibetan border,
