We departed Lobuche early this morning heading to Gorak Shep, a small village at the base of Kala Pattar and closer to Base Camp.
After an early lunch we set off for Everest Base Camp the ultimate end point of our journey! The walk to base camp was difficult. A combination of weariness, altitude, the terrain (loose dirt overlying glacial ice with many ups and downs), and the fact that one can see the tents (camp) very early in the walk, made it challenging.
BUT we made it!!!! And it was a fantastic feeling!
We stayed here for a little while to rest and enjoy the achievement then made our way slowly back to Gorak Shep for the night.
Altitude: 4900m to 5364m (Everest Base Camp) to 5200m.
