The day started early and overcast and perhaps our toughest day as it was the shortest distance and highest altitude increase. However, the scenery more than made up for any of our difficulties.

When we get home, I am going to need a Himalayan expert to help me identify all these mountains.

Everest was still hiding from us today, but we are hopeful for good weather tomorrow when we attempt Base Camp.

Not only are the mountains beautiful, but watching the clouds roll in and out revealing the different peaks is mesmerizing.

These two shouldn’t go without accolades. Chhongba and Mingma are our guides. They have been responsible for our success so far, and continue to be supportive and encouraging all the way. Thanks guys!
