Namche to Tengboche to Dingboche to Lobuche (2 nights.. one for acclimitization) to Gorak Shep where we went on to Summit Kala Pathar (5550 meters high) and finally EVEREST BASE CAMP (5364 meters high)
It's been an amazing week for us here in the Himalayas. We still have 4 more days before we fly back to Kathmandu. We feel that words cannot describe how the experience has been for us so we are going to say a few points and then show pictures. The pictures will come at a later date when the internet is not so expensive and works alot faster!
Some highlights:
1. Having to stay on the side of the trail closest to the mountain so you do not get knocked over a cliff when 6 yaks come barreling by.
2. Visiting the Tengboche Buddhist Monastery which is surrounded by mountains
3. Huddling around a yak dung fueled stove to stay warm as temperatures dropped.
4. Playing cards for a full day because we had nothing else to do while we acclimatized!
5. Having a hard time breathing as you go up the mountain
6. Having two cloudless beautiful days when we reached our highest elevations of the trip
7. Meeting a Spanish team preparing to summit mount Everest
8. Hiking to the highest point in the world that we both have ever summited which was Kala Pathar
9. BASE CAMP EVEREST!!!
10. BASECAMP EVEREST!!!!!!!!
