Ryoichi Sato, my husband, he is now trying to challenge the thru hike of the Great Himalayas Trail 1700 km. I decided to support his challenge from Japan. So, based on the information of LINE sent from him occasionally, I will try to write his situation to everyone reading this blog.
I am not very good at English, but I will do my best and write it in English.
This is Ryoichi 's team this time.

Tomorrow, they will go to Taplejung by Jeep.
From Taplejung, they walk on the trail and aim for the start point of GHT, Kangchenjunga B.C.
It is probably about 10 days to Kangchenjunga B.C.
Starting GHT, departing from Kangchenjunga B.C. is scheduled for March 21.
