This will make tackling the challenging Thorung-La Pass (5,416 meters or 17,769 feet) easier the following day.

Crossing the pass early in the morning is crucial to avoid the dangerous winds that can occur later in the day. This pass can be treacherous and risky if attempted during daylight hours.
