The Team is feeling great and the weather is helping make this trip something they will never forget. Leaving Dingboche got the blood flowing for the team as they climbed a short hill before making it to the high trail. The high trail takes the team above Pheriche until the small village of Dhugla. From Dhugla, they climb a &#8220;small&#8221; hill. This little hill before the valley of memories doesn&#8217;t look difficult but at nearly 16,000 feet, causes any trekker to take it slow and do some heavy breathing. Once at the top of the hill, it is only a short distance to Lobuche Village (16,200ft). The team will head to Gorakshep and a visit to Kala Pattar and Everest Base Camp for Christmas!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-21282 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Lobuche-and-Pumori-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[21282]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Lobuche-and-Pumori-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-21283\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Lobuche-and-Pumori-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Lobuche-and-Pumori-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa-130x130.jpg 130w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Lobuche-and-Pumori-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa-70x70.jpg 70w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Lobuche-and-Pumori-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-21283'>\n\t\t\t\tLobuche and Pumori (Sonam Dorje Sherpa)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Trekking-to-Lobuche-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[21282]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Trekking-to-Lobuche-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-21286\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Trekking-to-Lobuche-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Trekking-to-Lobuche-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa-130x130.jpg 130w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Trekking-to-Lobuche-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa-70x70.jpg 70w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Trekking-to-Lobuche-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-21286'>\n\t\t\t\tTrekking to Lobuche (Ang Tseri Sherpa)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Summer-home-with-North-Ridge-of-Ama-Dablam-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[21282]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Summer-home-with-North-Ridge-of-Ama-Dablam-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-21285\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Summer-home-with-North-Ridge-of-Ama-Dablam-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Summer-home-with-North-Ridge-of-Ama-Dablam-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa-130x130.jpg 130w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Summer-home-with-North-Ridge-of-Ama-Dablam-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa-70x70.jpg 70w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Summer-home-with-North-Ridge-of-Ama-Dablam-Ang-Tseri-Sherpa-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-21285'>\n\t\t\t\tSummer home with North Ridge of Ama Dablam (Ang Tseri Sherpa)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>All is well in the Khumbu Valley!<\/p>\n<p>Greg Vernovage<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 23, 2018 Our December EBC Trekking Team enjoyed another fantastic day in the Khumbu Valley.
