Grew up in Spiti and spent four winters working at a homestay in Langza. Knows which passes open early, which grandmother makes the best thukpa, and how to talk anyone through their first night at 4,200 metres.
“I have watched people arrive terrified of the altitude and leave planning to come back in winter. That turn is the whole job.”
