Mission East > 2) "19 December...Leaving Simikot for the first day's walking. It is surprisingly hot during the day. As we were going to be losing altitude each day, these will be the last yaks we see for a while."
Mission East > 1) Commentary from Graeme Glover...."18 December 2006....a great relief that we have managed to fly to Nepal's most northerly airport - in Simikot (Humla). A combination of weather and the quality of the airfield makes flights to this northwestern corner irregular. For the next 11 days we will see no transport and will be walking down the Karnali river until we reach Bajura. Then we will fly out from there."

Mission East is a Danish international relief and development organisation, working in Eastern Europe and Asia. Our aim is to deliver relief aid, to create and support long-term development projects and to empower local aid organisations to carry on the work independently. Making no racial, religious or political distinction between those in need, we aim to assist the most vulnerable.
