Everest Base Camp Trek Dispatch
May 5, 2014 – From Gorak Shep to Pangboche and onto Namche
When we left Gorak Shep early in the morning on Sunday we had beautiful views of the mountains around us.

Headed back on the same beautiful trails we started on
We spent the night in Panboche. It was nice and everyone was happy to come down after a few days at 16,000 feet. We came down about 4,000 feet and they all slept very well last night. Today we came down 2,000 feet more to Namche.
We arrived to beautiful views in Pangboche.

The weather was very clear in the morning. We had clouds and a bit of rain but nothing too bad. We made it to Namche on time and everyone is doing great.
