Distance: 19 km (total: 67 km), Time on the road 9:30 h, Altitude: 1165 m, Weather: partly sunny and cloudy, 28 degrees Celsius.
The walk between temple 11 and temple 12 is a „Henro Korogashi“, where a number of pilgrims fail to manage the walk. It is said to be one of the hardest parts of the trail. The tour runs entirely on natural paths and stone steps (are no fun to walk on).
It took me 7:30 hours to reach Shosanji (T11) and I guess I was the slowest of the about 20 people walking today. Luckily I had the opportunity of baggage transport. I am very clear that I would have not been able to carry my 6 kg backpack plus 4 liters of water today. Carrying only water and some food was exhausting enough.
I think in the last three days I reached every day my limits for different reasons.
