It was then only a 20-or-so minute stroll to the sleepy little town of Tagnag, which was essentially just a small collection of lodges built to service the track heading over the Cho La Pass. The snow was really coming down now, and by the time we arrived in Tagnag, I was a walking snowman.

‘You is looking like the Yeti,’ Subash said.

‘Speak for yourself!’

We stood outside the lodge while Subash went inside to get a broom - the same one they sweep the floor with - came back outside and frantically started brooming the snow off me and Nima. I tried to swat him away but he was relentless. We then dived inside the warmth of the dining room and ordered many, many cups of tea.

I noticed with despair that the same, noisy group of Koreans from Namche Bazaar were in a corner playing some weird Korean board game, which involved the women grabbing the men’s hands, holding them still, and then beating the shit out of them while they all noisily laughed. Even the men getting their hands belted were in hysterics. They were a strange people. I just hoped they were going to wear themselves out. I passed the afternoon drinking tea, wizzing heaps and having a chat with a pleasant Irishman that I had met in Nunthala, the night before I woke up sick. I had seen him again in Bupsa before he steamed off ahead.
