IMG Senior Guide, Phunuru Sherpa, checked in with news from Shigatse (12,467’/3,800m) overnight. The team had great day stretching their legs and visiting the Tashi Lhunpo Monastery. The weather was cool and damp but that did not stop the team from getting out and exploring the area around Shigatse and taking the tour of Tashi Lhunpo.
Our Sherpa Team is at Chinese Base Camp preparing loads and camp for the teams arrival. We have 15 yaks arriving tomorrow to pick up loads and begin the trek to ABC. From Chinese Base Camp, our Sherpa Team will head up to Intermediate Camp and then to ABC.
