Everest Base Camp Trek Dispatch
October 21, 2019 – Namche to Thame to Khumjung to Pangboche
Great trekking! Temba is reporting that the weather is not perfect. There are plenty of clouds each day, but Adriana has been loving the days trekking through Sherpa village and visiting monasteries all the same.
The elevations of the photos in this dispatch range from 3,600 meters at Namche Bazaar to 4,000 meters in Pangboche. There have been so many fascinating sites and people along the way, not too many trekkers go to some of these locations. Out little team is enjoying lots of time to themselves on the trail.
