Itinerary description
Kala Pathar wasn't going to work, too much of a cloud cover. A quick trip to the base just confirmed it - no views. Instead headed our way to Dzongla, hoping weather improves quickly to allow Cho-La pass crossing. Again, Everest makes a fleeting appearance behind Nuptse as we cross Changri Glacier. Weather gets worse as we get close to Lobuche. Snowing heavily now. We take a right turn right after, cross the Lobuche base camp, follow the steep ridge in very little visibility. After a long, relatively easy walk loosing some 200m in elevation overall, and a final bridge crossing and a small climb, arrive in Dzongla. Just to be greeted by more snow!
