Kathmandu
Final days of tranquility in Kathmandu before the clients arrive and we head off to Langtang for some acclimatisation trekking
We have been staying in The Eco Resort Hotel in Thamel
It’s quiet gardens are a haven of peace away from the busy streets
It can only get better
Amazing food and restaurant life in Thamel, Kathmandu
Not a good start to the Everest expedition, cracked a tooth on the plane and now waiting a root canal
Dress to Impress
So impressed with GoSportMe and Millet
The only place in the UAE to get the best clothes and equipment that I need for Everest
Wait til you see the down summit suit !!!
Looking forward to seeing these guys soon
Without these guys, climbing high mountains is impossible
A 2 part article about the background of the Sherpa people and some of the great mountaineers and people that I have climbed with
See you all in a couple of days in KTM
Mingma Tsiri Sherpa, Ang Dawa Sherpa, Dawa Jamba Sherpa, Jangbu Sherpa, Ongchhu Sherpa, Dorje Khatri
