We have Teams on the move in and around the Khumbu Valley. Our 3X2 and Ama Dablam Teams had a great trek up Chukkung Ri today. Tomorrow will be a tough day for these two teams, not in terms of trekking or climbing but going in different directions. The Ama Dablam Team will traverse across the high trail and into Ama Dablam Base Camp. The 3X2 Team will take a rest day in Chukkung before heading across Khongma La (Pass) to Lobuche Village. This has been a great team to follow since they have come together very well and really enjoyed each other’s company. They’ll all be rooting for each other over the coming days & weeks.
Down valley, Harry Hamlin checked in with our Private EBC Trek + Gokyo Loop Team. The Team had a great day trekking and acclimatizing above Dingboche. They enjoyed views of Ama Dablam, Makalu, Island Peak, Cho Oyu and Lobuche Peak. The Team will depart Dingboche in the morning and take the high road to Lobuche Village. The “high road†as I call it is the upper trail above Pheriche Village. This trail is off the beaten path and will allow the team to trek with grazing yaks and move through Dougla before trekkimg through The Valley of Memories, the area where fallen climbers are remembered.
Great days in the Khumbu Valley!
