Today I did what was needed but what I did not expect to have such major impact….. I booked my first flight. It will be from Sharjah (UAE) to Kathmandu, Nepal, at 3 am on Sunday.
I am going to roam around Kathmandu’s word heritage sites on Sunday – did you know that the majority of sculptures are ‘kama sutra style’ so some are rather mind blowing…. don’t quite know how to one could achieve those :)/
On the 29th I am going to fly to Lukla, where I will start my Everest basecamp hike. I will join a group that will spend another 3 days to summit on Loboche and I am still contemplating if I should do that too. It is a peak at 6,200 m and it requires some easy mountaineering, I am not sure if a crash course crampons and rope at 6,000 m is the best idea ever….. What do you think?
Veel succes en vooral veel plezier op je reis!
Not sure if the best idea indeed…you know how you didn’t like beginner riders to go with you on a fast ride? Well same same 😉 . But you could stay behind in Chhukung and go see the lake at the foot of Ama Dablam or hang around Lobuche and rest a bit/explore on your own.
Claire, exactly my thoughts and i shared it with the team and the guide. They however said that they would be delighted to have me on the group, two others don’t have experience either and the mounteneering is not don’t but dangerous for this peak… So i thought jalla!
