I dedicate myself to the backpacks. Two backpacks that I have already packed and unpacked dozens of times, more than a necessity, an exercise, in any case a necessary exercise: to calibrate the weights, to distribute them in the most optimal way possible between the backpack that my Sherpa would have shouldered and mine, and above all, to let go of the useless stuff. I have to survive for fourteen days among the Himalayan peaks, I will walk for one hundred and forty kilometers and cross a valley where biodiversity is the rule, from the subtropical forest to the glaciers of the Seven Thousand, so twenty kilos in total, including water supplies and the weight of the backpacks themselves are inevitable.
Among the many users who post videos of their experiences in Langtang Valley I spot one in particular of a Californian girl who went in spring with her sister, I ask her a few questions: how far is it from Kjiangjin Gompa to the top of Kjiangjin Ri, and what are the temperatures, she answers me almost immediately hello, you have to consider the period in which you go, look, I'll go in a few days, you were in spring, I imagine that the temperatures will not be much different, sure, yes, cover yourself well, I found - 5 °C which can also be lower, at the top of Kjiangjin Ri and Tserko Ri it is always very windy, ok, you are kind, thank you very much, hello, have a good trip (face with smile and hearts).
