Ang Jangbu reports that Team 1 had a great acclimatization day in Pheriche. Most of the team members went up Ngartsang Ri for an acclimatization hike while a few took it easy and did shorter walks around town. The team also had a chance to visit the HRA clinic, which does a great job educating trekkers about altitude sickness. Everyone is doing well and they are moving to Lobuche Base Camp tomorrow.
Down in Phortse, Phunuru reports that Team 2 is also doing very well. They had a nice visit to Phunuru’s home and got up early for a sunrise view. Today they are moving up to Pangboche, where they will visit the monastery. All’s well in Nepal!
