Itinerary description
This is part eight from a series of 15 track's showing an a magnicifiant trekking tour we had in October 2017 from Lukla up to Gokyo Lakes (4.750m elevation) and Gokyo Ri (5.360m). From there we did follow the path up and over Cho La Pass (5.375m) and all the way up to Everest Base Camp (+/- 5.350m) on the twelfth day.
After one night sleep in Gorak Shep (5.180m), the world's highest village I think, we headed straight down to Lukla in three long days. This trekking group was made of 18 friends and hikers from Iceland and a great team of locals, including six guides and nine porters.
This was a pretty hard trek... when I had about 100 meters left to hit to the top I started to count 30 steps and then stop to grab my breath again end then again 30 steps and so on until I made it to the summit.
