I’ve been giving it some time to settle into things here at home (Portland, OR) before posting this epilogue for a very significant chapter ..read more

May 3rd Dzongla-Gokyo Distance: 7.5mi/12km* (mileages likely +10% underestimated) Trip Total: ~257.5mi/414km Teahouse Elevation: 15,600ft/4755m This was so definitely NOT our day! We decided to sleep in and start an hour later today. We all could use the extra rest, it’s pretty darn cold up here, and we figured we’d make it over our high ..read more

April 30th Phakding-Namche Distance: 7mi/11km* (mileages likely +10% underestimated) Trip Total: ~233mi/375km Guesthouse Elevation: 11,200ft/3414m We are taking basically double neros in Namche instead of a zero day.
