From my account of the Minya Konka trek, 1995:
"
It snowed overnight, but I slept surprisingly well on the floor
the yak herder’s tent, thanks to my Thermarest. When I went out of the tent the
next morning I was amazed to find myself in a snowy landscape, with clear sky
revealing many icy peaks that I hadn’t been able to see with the low mist the
day before. The early morning sun lit up the tips of the peaks with orange
rays, and as I stamped my feet and pounded my arms by my sides I pitied the
horses and yaks for having to have stayed outside overnight in such icy
conditions.
I made some porridge for breakfast in the tent, and my hosts
made butter tea and rice porridge. Then we saddled up and were on our way up
the gentle incline of the valley again."
