The Porter.... As the trek progressed and I ended up talking more and more to them, my respect grew multifold. For merely 350 INR per day, they carried 30 kg loads, set up camp, cooked, washed up and often helped some of my fellow trekkers negotiate boulders and crevasses. All this in biting cold and on a 35 km glacier with rubber boots on. All this with a beaming smile not a single complaint. And We think We are good trekkers!!!
