Day 11 - homeward bound
The mood was different this morning, for days our focus has been on reaching Kalapatthar, and now that's done the countdown to home has started.
Our aim is to be back in Lukla on Sunday, ready to fly back to Kathmandu on the Monday. To be on time we would have to trek 8 hours a day for three days.
So we packed our bags had breakfast and set off. The going was good and in no time we were at our first stop to pick up the people in the group that had to go down. We were all together again, got back into our original groups and marched on.
8 hours later and we were at our camp. It took us one day to trek, what took us three days the opposite way. You can taste the air change as you go down and feel it getting thicker, and thicker air means faster walking.
Two more days trekking!! 5 more sleeps!!
