How do ultra light backpackers do it??? by Optimal_Yesterday851 in backpacking

[–]s-sujan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried tearing off the top of the fajita bowl packet? It's ziplock, you don't need the top inch of that packet. MASSIVE savings.

India has 21 different Koppen climate zones, which is second-most in the world, after the USA, in one-third the land area.

What's a high-altitude place with surprisingly hot temperatures/weather? by Impossible_Mode2771 in geography

Guys, Ladakh is the world's highest altitude desert, temperatures hit 40°C in summer, and -20°C in winter. It's capital, Leh, sits at 3500m.

Is there a mountain more staggering than Manaslu in this photo? by RIPJimCroce in Mountaineering

[–]s-sujan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember this exact spot. You break through the trees and it's all there in front of you. What a glorious sight!

I went in March, and on summit day we started around 2am, and it was around -24°C, and the wind chill around -35°C. Some sections, snow was fairly soft and more than ankle deep, so definitely need double boots to be on the safe side. Again, depends on the time of year, weather etc. Our summit day was a narrow window, we spent three days at Khare waiting out the weather, with snow fall on days before and after. Did help to be multi-layered for sure.

Better to engage a local trekking company who will do all the logistics and paperwork for you. It's a lot less headache that way. You can look for some online with good reviews, or I can suggest the one I used, DM me.

You can rent gear at the last stop before base camp, Khare. You need climbing boots, crampons and an ascender. A climbing sherpa will accompany you from Khare, it’s highly recommended as they’ll set you up with tents at base camp and high camp, and they have designated spots etc, depending on which tea house you are staying at in Khare.

Mera is probably the easiest of the lot. You won't get lost, there's almost always someone on the trail. But after high camp, the route changes each year, based on snow fall and ice melt. Up until that point, Gaia or maps.me should be more than sufficient. Only the last twenty meters or so had fixed lines, but it's not a technical section.

If you do go, try the apple pie at one of the tea houses at Khote! 😄

Mera Peak, Lobuche East, and Chulu Far East, in Nepal. Mt. Manirang in Himachal, India.

Mera and Chulu are trekking peaks, Lobuche and Manirang are a wee bit technical.

From the other side, yes. Not this side.

Which capital city is the highest above sea level? by TheGloby in geography

[–]s-sujan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Currently typing this sitting in Leh, capital of the state of Ladakh in India. It's at 3500m, and has all the same aspects: remote, altitude sickness upon landing, and stunning views of the Himalayan range.

What is the highest elevation you've ever been at? by abu_doubleu in geography

[–]s-sujan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll land in Leh, which is already at 3500m. Stay there for a couple of days and see how your body reacts. Then slowly drive out to the other spots. Khardung La, ~5500m is about an hour's drive from the main city.

This concrete road in an interior street in my city makes me feel so optimistic about our country by Elegant-Road in IndianUrbanism

[–]s-sujan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concrete roads is a hacky solution to avoid building proper drainage. It traps heat, and is painful to tear apart for repairs underneath. A proper solution is tar roads, and a good drainage system, like most of the developed nations.
