- Team in Dunai (Pasang Kami)
Mike checked in from Dunai this morning to report that the Team had a smooth flight from KTM. The Team was up early and headed to the airport before rain set in.  The weather in Nepal this time of year is always questionable so we decided to charter a flight directly to Dunai instead of a layover in Nepalgunj. This proved to be a great decision and put the Team in a great position because the weather in Nepalgunj shut the airport down all day yesterday!
After landing in Juphal, the Team had a short trek to Dunai. They arrived at camp just in time for lunch. They were greeted by the Sherpa Advance Team and a camp that was already set up. Tomorrow, the Team will head to Tarakot.
We will keep you posted on the Teams progress as they head further out and into the wild west of Nepal. Internet and cell signal becomes more scarce as they head out so we will keep you updated as much as we can with maps and Satellite phone communication.
All is well with the Putha Hiunchuli Climb!
