Chukhung

We spent a couple of days in Chukhung chasing the light and avoiding the mists on the south face of Lhotse/Nuptse. Mornings have been clear but by the time Lhotse lit up the mists had rolled in.

Not so the North Face of Ama Dablam which towers over Chukhung.

We walked up to Imja lake. Yes it now huge and the water thundered off down the valley. It was an overpowering end of the world experience. The local Sherpa had been on high alert for the lake during the 2015 earthquake.
