ACT Day 06 - Dhikur Pokhari to Ngawal
Ngawal
The road soon entered a pine forest where birds flitted around from tree to tree and pikas (Ochotona roylei) bounded around on the soft turf below them. The path slowly ascended to another viewpoint where the long airstrip in Humde (elevation : 3280 m) appeared. As we peered down the valley, Himalayan griffon vultures (Gyps himalayensis) circled around in the thermal currents overhead. The huge wingspans of these obligate scavengers would occasionally blot out the sun, and I caught myself wondering whether they were just waiting for us to collapse before swooping down upon us.
