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 |

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