I arrived at the cluster of teahouses at Dole (4040m) around noon and had lunch at the Himalayan Lodge before lying in my sleeping bag, reading a book and sleeping. I had a delicious dinner of potatoes and soup in the large central room in the lodge. I watched the kitchen staff quickly cook many diverse items for the different trekkers. The next morning, I looked back at Dole with Kangtega and Thamserku above at the end of the valley.
