The view coming off Kongma La...The Tibetan border is the white mountains and at the bottom of this valley is the Khumbu Glacier that flows from Mt Everest.. |
These are the loads the Sherpa porters carry, seems like it's about what the porters weigh and they still cruz around in flip-flops... |
Sunset on Everest a mere 3000 meters (9800')above. |
On to our next pass with Taboche on the left and Cholatse on the right.. |
Up the valley to Dzongla with our pass (Cho La) at the glacier on right\ |
One of the few bridges left that looks like the last time I was here. |
Becky & Pasang coming up the glacier.. |
Just a little rock scramble..... |
Apples from Pasang's yard @ 5380m (17,648') |
One more glacier to cross before Momos & Thukpa. Tibetan dinner treats of small dumplings with veggies inside steamed, the Thukpa is a veggie soup with home made noddles....both with chili sauce. |
The alpenglow on Everest and Lhotse....a very dynamic sunset of the top of the world... |
MORE TO COME................The trip out..
Impressive! How is everything feeling/performing at that altitude?
ReplyDeleteWell I am just now getting back to your blog. You both look so happy and healthy. I would be dead at that altitude.
