Lukla

Arrived in Lukla this morning after a gentle trek uphill from Phakding.

It has been a marvellous 24 day trek where we have accomplished what we set out to do. We have photographed the big mountains aggressively. All the time looking at the geological clues to their formation. We have pondered hard at the consistency of the big features. Whilst in awe of the differences of Everest which not surprisingly stands alone. Or does it?

My thanks go to Chhiring who has looked after me every step of the way. His enthusiasm has never faltered. Calling to me have you seen the mist has cleared!!!! Revealing shining Himalayan masters.

And he has kept me healthy. Always in the kitchen watching the food preparation.

Kathmandu tomorrow. A return to Nepalese reality.
