Right now we are at about 11,582 feet elevation. Because the levels of oxygen lower up here, our bodies need to acclimate. It would be unsafe if we were to hike higher without our bodies becoming used to the new altitude. It's recommend that we stay here for at least 24 hours.
It was a bit windy and cold outside, so Ben stayed at the teahouse pretty much all day. I read him a bit of Lolita, then I FaceTimed my friends Kaylin and Gaige.
I walked around town and saw a map with things to do in the area (it's common for trekkers to stop in Manang to acclimate), and decided to go on a small hike to Gangapurna Lake.
