Trekking!!!


Tom and Ben holding on for dear life
Huge rocks carved with Tibetin writting

The trekkers nearly at Gokyo



Gokyo - From Georgie and Martys honeymoon suite
The sun is shinning on the pass that we crossed
4800 meters


Our amazing view from the fifth lake
above Gokyo
A hard slog and plenty of moro bars needed to get here
4900 meters

WOW!!!
Sagarmatha (Everest) view from the fifth lake

BIRTHDAY BOY
What a way to have a 15th birthday
On top of the Renjo La pass
5480 meters

Do we look stuffed or what?
Becs finally stopped talking in the
last 100 meter climb
So very very high
Renjo La
5480 meters

A MORO moment for the crew
On our way down at last

Our sweet ride out of Lukla
The planes had not been flying for five
days because of the weather
Thanks to the richies who charted it in
We were grinning

Thanks to Josies stamp we had an amazing day
spent with three families celebrating the
Dasain festival
Georgia on the local swing made of bamboo

As part of the festival you are taken into the families homes
and given a tikka
We had plenty of tikka's by the end of the day

This man followed us the whole way carrying pipes
He often had to walk side ways to fit on the
track and bridges

  1. Wow Dobbes!! Wow, wow. What great photos of your fantastic adventures so far. We're so impressed with the Mts as well as your great trekking efforts across the Pass etc. Also of course wonderful to see all the big grins...obviously there were no tears or family meltdowns etc along the way(?!).

    Look forward to reading more about your travels. Hope you're all now fattening up on good traveller food in a town somewhere.

    We're just returning home after a great month in Thailand - see http://theauckrams.blogspot.com/
