Machermo

After 6 days of walking Tschering and I have reached 4400m at Machermo, having spent nights in Kunde and Dole. We wandered through amazing vegetation with spring flowers and wildlife. The mountains came and went until we exited the forest at Dole. We just made it to the lodge and a violent electric storm rolled through. The atmosphere cleared and we saw the full panoply of sunset light. The mountains were coated in fresh snow. It was a fabulous photo opportunity.

Next morning while photographing Kantega a huge avalanche the width of the N Face broke off the summit serac. I heard some ?10kms away. Incredible sight.

The thrusts and nappes a geologists conundrum. Thrilled to be here.

Acclimatisation day tomorrow then on To Gokyo.
