Made it to Kagbeni
Jeep number 2 proved reliable and the driver made good time. We had breakfast in the same town where Jeep number 1 was abandoned. The original plan was to pull out the broken rear differential and take it with us to.Pokhara (the closest large city) to get a replacement part. Unfortunately, our original driver, Oli, discovered that both the rear and front differential were bad, so he gave up and we continued on without the parts.
Our group consensus is that Oli doesn't know what he's doing and who the heck knows which part of the transmission is bad. The Jeep has over 450k kilometers on it.
On to Muktenath tomorrow!
PS we all had warm/hot showers and got to wash our hair. Plus, it feels a lot warmer, which makes sense since we're 3000 feet lower.
