We continued to get used to the altitude and were doing well with it (we had heard stories of others with headaches/hallucinating/puking...so we felt lucky!). We switched hotels to Hotel Khangri which was 1/3 the price and was right in town so that we could easily organize our trips. We spent the morning planning our rafting trip down the Zanskar River, and our 5 day trek from Lamayuru to Chiling with Yasmin Trek & Tour. As luck would have it, two Swiss girls had approached us the day before to see if we wanted company...it definitely brought down our costs and provided some more company for the long walks! Feeling ambitious in the afternoon, we decided to hike up to Leh Palace and the Monestary at the top of the town. It was quite a steep climb and we definitely felt the lack of oxygen!
