Mt Everest base camp success!

Thanks for reading everyone.


We left a small village called Tengboche at 5am in the morning and hiked up to the last village before named Gorak Shep. We had tea and soup before continuing on to base camp. In total, it was almost a 10 hour day of hiking! Ugh but hugely rewarding and amazing views and sites.

The pictures include the little green awesome guy (which all of the Nepali children love) the little Kimberly lane coyote and a picture of me with my Sherpa guide Dulgee.

So the fun items you have entrusted to my care have made it to the base of the tallest mountain in the world! Pretty cool! They are safely tucked on my pack and will hopefully be returned safely to your class along with a rock from the base of Everest.

More updates to come...
