Return Journey Begins

I woke up late this morning. It was a good sleep and I didn’t want to miss that at the height of Gorak Shep. But since we were supposed to have a photo shoot for the promo of the marathon with 12 marathoners, I had to wake up. I ate breakfast with Chris who after hearing my proposal to participate in the photo shoot agreed for.

We had 10 local boys, a local girl and Chris for the photo shoot which went great as there were rarely a piece of cloud today. I made some good shots using the camcorder despite not being a profession at it.


Shooting was quite a fun.

We left Gorak Shep half-hour before noon supposely for Thukla but on our way we changed the plan because we had made shots that Thukla would’ve offered us. We walked for five hours 30 minutes plus one hour rest to reach Pyangboche via Lobuche, Thukla, Pheriche, Osra and Somara.

We met Dr Chhitiz at Pyangboche and it was fun. I called home (Rs. 30/min). I also called my wife but she didn’t hear anything on her mobile.
