The Team departed Gorakshep after breakfast taking the trail uphill for a few minutes which gets the blood moving in their legs. With the Khumbu Glacier on their left, the team winds their way to the hill before Lobuche Village. Once down the hill, the trail opens up and the team is free to move through Lobuche Village and down valley to Pheriche. The oxygen is a bit thicker down in Pheriche and the team will sleep great tonight, having climbed Kala Patthar and visited Everest Base Camp. Tomorrow, the team will head down to Phortse.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-21319 gallery-columns-2 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\/Looking-up-valley-from-Pheriche-with-Cholatse-left-and-Lobuche-right-Sonam-Dore-Sherpa.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[21319]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Looking-up-valley-from-Pheriche-with-Cholatse-left-and-Lobuche-right-Sonam-Dore-Sherpa-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-21321\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Looking-up-valley-from-Pheriche-with-Cholatse-left-and-Lobuche-right-Sonam-Dore-Sherpa-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Looking-up-valley-from-Pheriche-with-Cholatse-left-and-Lobuche-right-Sonam-Dore-Sherpa-130x130.jpg 130w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Looking-up-valley-from-Pheriche-with-Cholatse-left-and-Lobuche-right-Sonam-Dore-Sherpa-70x70.jpg 70w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Looking-up-valley-from-Pheriche-with-Cholatse-left-and-Lobuche-right-Sonam-Dore-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-2-21321'>\n\t\t\t\tLooking up valley from Pheriche with Cholatse (left) and Lobuche (right) (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\/Descending-from-Gorakshep-to-Pheriche-with-Ama-Dablam-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa.jpg' rel=\"lightbox[21319]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Descending-from-Gorakshep-to-Pheriche-with-Ama-Dablam-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-21320\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Descending-from-Gorakshep-to-Pheriche-with-Ama-Dablam-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Descending-from-Gorakshep-to-Pheriche-with-Ama-Dablam-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa-130x130.jpg 130w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Descending-from-Gorakshep-to-Pheriche-with-Ama-Dablam-Sonam-Dorje-Sherpa-70x70.jpg 70w, http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Descending-from-Gorakshep-to-Pheriche-with-Ama-Dablam-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-2-21320'>\n\t\t\t\tDescending from Gorakshep to Pheriche with Ama Dablam (Sonam Dorje 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 26, 2018 Our December EBC Trekking Team had another great day on the trail today.
