Our steadfast transport to and from Lukla!
The bumpy plane ride
Above Namche Bazar
A chorten dedicated to Tenzing Norgay and the Sherpas of Solukhumbu
Higher than any Colorado peaks!
The fabled yak, fabled to be dancing
Yes, I wore this hat every day. Above Gokyo
Yes, he is really that strong! Next to the Big Glacier
One of the many gorgeous views atop Gokyo Ri

Burning the sagey plant every morning, Khumjung
