All three of our teams are on schedule and doing well in the Khumbu Valley. Our 3X2 Team had a great day trekking over Cho La and is now in Thagnak. Tomorrow will be a well-deserved shorter day of trekking and will take the team to Gokyo – where the views are amazing!
Harry Hamlin checked in from Phortse with the Private Trek Team. This team has enjoyed great weather and has done extremely well on their trek. Tomorrow morning, they’ll catch a planned helicopter flight back to KTM – a great way to finish up a perfect trip! The flight down valley to Lukla will give the team the opportunity to see the beautiful countryside they just trekked through, and another perspective of the Khumbu Valley. From Lukla, they will refuel and continue to Kathmandu to celebrate.
It was a rest day on Ama Dablam and the team celebrated another birthday. Happy Birthday Dave! The team will take a few more days rest minimum and keep an eye on the weather. All is well on Ama Dablam!
