This blog entry is certainly the last before taking some holidays in Ladakh (Indian Himalaya), from 11th July to 28th July. But not the last post on this site: I will surely publish some resources before my departure.

During my absence, I will give administrator rights to Guillaume Leroy, in order to maintain a good reactivity on all subjects, from user registration to posts on forums.

Concerning the trip in Ladakh, I hope that I will have better weather than last year, in April 2006, in Nepal, when I attempted to reach the Mera Peak (6476m), but forced to turn back at the base camp (4900m), due to 3 days snow tempest. We got no news from people blocked at high camp (5500m). These persons were finally repatriated to Katmandu, with serious gelures. Concerning our group, we were very happy to meet an australian team which was trying to reach the base camp and opening us the Zartrow La pass (4600m). With 300 sunny days per year in Ladakh, it should be good.

Hope that we will get no politics trouble like last year in Nepal too, where we were obliged to stay at hotel during 2 days,  because of cover fire.
