Everest Base Camp Trek Dispatch
September 28, 2015 – Our Walk from Lukla to Phakding
Monday was a beautiful day! With our early start from the Yak and Yeti to the airport we were able to enjoy the full day of our return to trekking life with the Sherpas. We are over 9,000 feet elevation now, but the trail is green and lush. As these photos will show, it's not bad here!

One of the first of numerous Chortens we were to pass today.
And Prayer Wheels of all sizes!
