hopefully will provide wonderful views of Everest...if the clouds ever clear! Then onto Chhukung to Island Peak Base Camp and return back down to Lukla.
The trip began with meeting up in Lukla with friends Katelyn and her husband Rubin, who began their trek one week earlier in Phaplu. It rained these first few days, as the monsoon will just not end!! , HoweverI have been told that come Oct 1st, the rains will end.
I stayed in a tea house across from the Lukla Starbucks, which is owned by the brother of Lhakpa Sherpa, who is the owner of Sherpa House in Golden!
Photos of the Lukla airport that is built in the mountain side. During the peak trekking season, as many as 100 planes arrive each day from Kathmandu:
