The 3X3/2X2 Team checked in from Lobuche Village today to let us know that the weather was perfect for the trek over Khongma La (18,320ft). This high altitude pass is a big test for the Team. Everyone did very well after the rest day in Chukkung. The views are incredible on this part of the trek. They did not disappoint once again!
Tomorrow, the Team will head up to Gorakshep where they will set themselves up to visit EBC (17,500 ft) as well as climb Kala Pattar (18,192 ft).
