ALLE’S new clothes
3. oktober 2023, Nepal ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
We got to Khote which is a cute small village in the middle of the Hinku valley.
ALLE and I shared a plate of momos for lunch which were yummy.
It’s a lot colder up here and decided that ALLE needed some new warm clothes. Maree and I walked to a tiny shop selling a few things and I found this great jacket for him.Les mer

Over 4000m
4. oktober 2023, Nepal ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C
Unfortunately another rainy day!
I had a yummy breakfast of fried Tibetan bread with jam which tasted like donut.
We got our blue plastic bags and waterproof gear and ALLE tucked himself away in my backpack nice and warm in his new jacket.
Todays walk is stunning following the Hinku valley. The river was raging and we trudged through lots of waterfalls and rivers. Just a real gradual uphill for about 4 hours.
The only thing that made it not such a nice walk was the constant rain.
We got in to Thagnak at around lunchtime and ALLE and I had fried potato momos and loved them.
The afternoon was spent around the fire and reading, playing cards and staying dry.
We have 2 nights here and just a short acclimatisation walk tomorrow to get us over 5000m to make the next few days easier.Les mer

Finally at Khare
6. oktober 2023, Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 2 °C
Yesterday morning we woke to a crystal clear sky and packed up for a walk up the hill to Khare. This was the place we never got to see last time we were here and I was excited for the views.
We wandered up and just off the track went and saw the beautiful lake which used to be massive until the walls broke many years ago and caused the river the flood.
Halfway along the track we stopped for a tea and sat in the beautiful sunshine.
It wasn’t long before we got to Khare and stopped at our lodge Mera Alpine.
It was time for a nice rest and ALLE and I sat by the window watching the views and reading.
We had veggie momos for lunch and garlic noodle soup for dinner.Les mer

At Base Camp 5400m
8. oktober 2023, Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 2 °C
We all made the 2 hour trek up the hill and across the moraine to base camp. It was very rocky and my knee was not happy. At one point Sherpa Tendi had to rescue me from the rocks and help me up.
It should look very amazing here but the cloud has come over and can’t see much.
We have our tents set up and a cute Little Rock cabin for eating and having cups of tea. We have our own chef who came up with us to prepare our delicious food.
ALLE and I had fried rice and a ginger tea for lunch.
We went to bed in our lovely new tents and snuggled in to keep warm.Les mer

To not quite the top
8. oktober 2023, Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 1 °C
After a restless night the group of us decided to not go further up from base camp. My knee was painful and the other two just didn’t feel good. The weather was also forecast to be cold and very very windy.
That’s is the way in the mountains. We had seen a few people we met along the way have to be rescued by Sherpas with altitude sickness and didn’t want to join them.
So Maree and I put on the snow boots and crampons and headed up in the snow onto Mera for a short walk then would return down to Khare again for the night.
I ended up just doing a short walk with Shepa Tendi and we had fun taking photos and videos.
Maree walked a bit further up with Sandesh and got some nice views.
We had a yummy lunch at our camp then walked back down for the night. On the way, I slipped on the trail and landed on my bottom, luckily I only cut my hand a little bit. It was very steep in some parts.
ALLE and I had the same room at the Mera Alpine and had a lovely cosy sleep after the yummy hash brown with yak cheese.Les mer

Waiting for the helicopter
9. oktober 2023, Nepal ⋅ ⛅ 1 °C
Today was the day to fly to Lukla by helicopter. We got up and packed and had our breakfast.
Then we heard the news we were dreading- Lukla airport closed again!
It was horrible and cold and windy here and we were so glad we weren’t still up on Mera.
We kept waiting to hear whether the airport would open again so spent our time reading, playing cards and relaxing.
It got to 4pm and knew that was the cut off for flights. Hopefully we get better news tomorrow.Les mer

Waiting for the helicopter part 2
11. oktober 2023, Nepal ⋅ ☀️ -3 °C
We got up mega early, packed, had breakfast and waited for helicopter news. At first Lukla was closed and all choppers were in Kathmandu.
Then we heard exciting news that a chopper was on its way but had to turn around at Khote because of low cloud.
So we have been trying to keep warm listening to the howling wind and watching the clouds swirling around. We have a few more hours to go until they say there is no more chance.
Fingers crossed.Les mer

Yes! The helicopter arrived
12. oktober 2023, Nepal ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
We got up to a nice clear morning and waited for helicopter news.
It was a very chilly day - possibly about minus 5 and I made sure ALLE was staying nice and warm.
We got news that the choppers were flying but had to wait our turn as they were very busy.
We went down to the helipad and waited in the sunshine trying to thaw out a bit.
We finally got news that our chopper was on its way and we were all good to go.
ALLE was pretty excited for the flight and I had him tucked safely in my jacket.
The flight was so beautiful- such incredible views of the mountains and the track we had walked along.
We got into Lukla and had never seen it so busy. There were planes and choppers coming and going and people everywhere.
In the afternoon we wandered down the Main Street to a coffee shop where we sat and watched the airport action from the balcony. Sandesh and Alle had some fun scaring the coffee waitress- cheeky boys!!
It’s a lot warmer in Lukla about 4 degrees so had a much more cosy sleep.Les mer

Going to Kathmandu
13. oktober 2023, Nepal ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C
This morning we are flying from Lukla to Ramechapp then driving the 5 hours back to Kathmandu.
Planes have been coming and going since 6.15 this morning so it’s looking good for us to get out of here.
We had a short delay but jumped on the plane and took off into the mountains.
The flight was short and before long we landed in Ramechapp and our driver picked us up for the long trek back to Kathmandu.
We stopped at a little local place for a curry lunch and got back to Hotel Shanker in the afternoon.
We had time to unpack and take some washing in to get done then wandered into K-too for a yummy dinner.
It was so nice to be warm again, even though the mountains are beautiful- they are soooo chilly.Les mer

Pokhara
14. oktober 2023, Nepal ⋅ 🌙 20 °C
Yesterday ALLE and I said our farewells to everyone and headed to the airport to visit Pokhara.
We had a lovely dinner the night before with the whole crew and ALLE enjoyed the traditional dancing.
Pokhara was nice and warm and we are staying in a small lodge in the Lakeside area.
We will be doing some relaxing and a bit of sightseeing while here.Les mer
