We meet Rohan, one of the family hosting us and our local guide.
They'd been going more or less uphill ever since they met their guide, not steep but noticeable.
The trees in this stretch weren't knocked about like the ones were back where they'd met their guide.
Twenty minutes later we met our guide, seated in the snow making radio contact with the hut.
You pay a fee (around £20 per person) and are talked through the hike before meeting your obligatory guide.
I agreed to meet his guide at my hotel the next morning.
You will meet your guide and group for a briefing around 7:00pm.
Shall I pick you up in the morning to meet your guide?
"That's where we're supposed to meet our guide, if anyone's still there."
This evening you will meet your guide for a group briefing before heading out to dinner.
