After bidding farewell to the bustle and hustle of Namche bazaar, we hit the well trodden trail again towards Everest base camp. Though a familiar trail to us all, it is always enjoyable and was more so today with clear views of Everest and Lhotse off in the horizon.
We hiked up to Mong La (3950m), a popular lunch stop for trekkers enroute to the Gokyo lakes, breaked there for food, and then hiked down and up to Phortse. We’re here for the night and may get in some climbing tomorrow.
Special greetings to our readers from Clancy Catholic College. Margaret St. Hill shouts a big hello. She’s loving the trekking, inspiring views of Everest and is feeling good.
