The journey begins with a flight to one of the highest landing airports in the world, & once we get off the twin otter, our eyes begin to take in the gigantic surroundings that stirs our emotions to the bone, as we sort out our equipment & the porters carry what has to be carried & our guides lead the way by the banks of the Dudh Kosi River. We clamber on our set trail through colorful villages as the panoramic scenery begins to take hold of us as we hike through farmlands & bump into the friendly sherpa folks, the local inhabitants of the ‘Khumbu’ {the original name of the Everest region}, known for their legendary climbing skills & warm welcoming nature; our walk soon brings us the the capital of the Khumbu, a thriving town called ‘Namche’, & this is where we get our first views of massive Everest & other silver grey peaks that literally stop the breath for a moment. Namche is the kind of town that will stun you for all the facilities it has within its boundaries, where you will find things not even available in the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu. Namche is the first outpost that gives you your first acclimatizing process which gets your body used to the higher elevations that come further on in the course of your trip. <br />As we haul up for a night in Namche, we begin to observe many other fellow trekkers having a good time, of which some are on their way up while some are on their way down.

I certainly could have used a little more water too! Let me know if the UV filter helps.<br /><br />Aloha!XJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754046978712918835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630101216758260374.post-41283176809784480282012-04-14T13:23:48.046-10:002012-04-14T13:23:48.046-10:00XJ, that is one gnarly blister.

I'd have to bring like a gallon of water if out 12+ hours. Plus energy bars.<br /><br />By the way, I got a UV filter now for my camera. Once I go some where worth while of taking a photo's we'll see how much better the digital photos come out.Frank Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006305805024891836noreply@blogger.com
