early this morning.

Leo rose before the sun today and was on his way to the airport by 5:15 for his flight to Lukla. Following Berg Adventures tradition, he and his guide Nuru were on the first flight of the morning arriving in Lukla bright and early. When their plane landed, the rest of the team was ready in Lukla ready to go.

Leo was particularly looking forward to meeting Jatha Rai, his cook. While Jatha is an excellent cook with a great reputation and his food is worth getting excited about, Leo was actually looking forward to meeting him because he too is a runner! The pair plan to go on a few training runs together and Jatha will also be running this year’s marathon. Stay tuned as Leo and his crew continue to trek and train their way to Everest Base Camp.
