Dolakha Warnings Or Dangers

During the hike up the valley past Gongar we came across a snake that we first identified as a small, black cobra, but later identified as common krait. We got it verified by expert herpetologists. It is a first in the uplands of Nepal (common in the Terai). It is the deadliest snake in Nepal, 15 times more posionous than cobra. Smallish, different colorings, but commonly steel black, it is night active and pose no danger during daylight hours when it is either hidden or very docile. At night it seeks warm sports, such as sleeping people. The common scenario is to be bitten when rolling over in bed at night.
It is very hard to determine how common the krait should be around here, but there is no indication of it being prevalent.
