Today is our last day in Kathmandu. Early tomorrow we will fly to Lukla and begin our trek to basecamp. We are all very busy today packing our bags again and buying the last minute things that we think we can’t live without. Our climbing gear, food and clothes are packed into their own bags that will be loaded on to yaks and sent straight to basecamp (where our Sherpa staff are waiting). The yaks don’t have to acclimatize, so they will be there in three days. We’ll take 8-10.
In two days we will be in Namche and we should be able to update the blog. This is all provided that it is not cloudy at Lukla airport tomorrow. If it is, the planes won’t fly and we’ll be stuck in Kathmandu for another day – so fingers crossed everyone for good weather early on Monday April 9th.
