Cho Oyu is a beautiful snow peak in the Himalaya. I saw it from Tingri in 1988 when I was trekking to the Everest base camp on the Tibet side. Just trekking no mountain climbing.
Teamed up with two Canadians in Tingri and we hired a yak driver whose yak carried our packs. He was our guide and arranged our lodging in a local village and in a nomads tent en route.
Ate the local food which was tsampa, tsampa, and more tsampa. Trekking at high altitude and trying to eat the local food that would gag a maggot is a sure formula to lose weight. I lost 20 lbs by the time I got back to Hong Kong 3 weeks later.
Precious memories how they linger.
“Precious memories how they linger.”

And what great memories to have-——mine are dull in comparison.
