Loading up in Lukla to fly to the Hinku Valley (Phunuru Sherpa)
Phunuru Sherpa reports that the Mera team are all together in Khote village, over in the Hinku Valley. Max, Mila, and some porters had a nice hike from Lukla up over Zwatra La while Phunuru and the rest of the team flew over by helicopter. Before they start up the valley towards Mera Peak they need to check in with the Makalu Barun National Park office and show their Mera climbing permit.  So far so good!
