Nepal Trekking Updates

October 12, 2018

We received a few updates from our treks in Nepal overnight. Our Private Island and Mera Peak Trekking team enjoyed a nice rest day at Island Peak Base Camp and will head over the Amphu Laptsa (pass) tomorrow morning. The team is doing great and enjoying their summit of Island Peak!

Our Mera Peak Team is now in Lukla (9,334’)! Our Mera Peak Trekking team met IMG Senior Guide Dawa Sherpa in Lukla and will be ready to fly into the Hinku Valley in the morning. They will take the day trekking in Lukla to acclimatize for the jump into the Hinku Valley. They will fly to Khote (11,700’) in the morning to begin their trek!

We have another Private trek that also arrived to Lukla yesterday. This trek will take the standard trekking route to Namche before taking a left and heading up to Gokyo in a counterclockwise itinerary. This is going to be a great trek with a target of climbing Lobuche Peak after trekking over Renjo La and Cho La through Gokyo.

Three more groups are now arriving in Kathmandu; the Autumn 3X2Trek with Lobuche Peak, the Ama Dablam Expedition and a private Gokyo Loop Trekking Team.

All is well and busy in Nepal!
