India (December, 2016) – I often find myself reminiscing about Sikkim; feeling a strange sense of calm, wonder and sudden strikes of shortness of breath. The attitude reminded me to temper my fantastical ideas of radically climbing towards the sky. We arrived at Changu Lake, surprised by the number of large construction vehicles and hoards of yak.
Back to reality and closer to sea level; I still have flashbacks of the time I was jabbed in the thigh by an ill-humoured but very photogenic yak with goofy knitted horn warmers.
