Our Lobuche Climb is right around the corner now! The team climbed Kala Pattar and headed around the corner to Lobuche Base Camp today. The views from the top of Kala Pattar are fantastic. After trekking and visiting Everest Base Camp, the Team was rewarded with more views of the Khumbu Glacier, the Icefall and Mount Everest.

After taking a few photos, it is time to trek around to Lobuche Base Camp. This is one of my favorite parts of the trek and one of the best camps in the Khumbu Valley. Our team wraps around the foothill of Lobuche and settles in the protective meadow of Lobuche. A nice, home cooked meal some quality sleep is in order and deserved for this team.
Tomorrow is an active rest day involving some training for the climb, organizing gear and rest. Get ready to climb Lobuche everyone!
