Base Camp Everest – Day 16 Lukla to Kathmandu – Farewell to the Mountains

Today the team had an early wake-up at the Namaste Lodge in Lukla.  They would have said goodbye (again!) to some of the sherpas and porters before being bustled through airport security at the Tenzing-Hillary Aiport and boarding a flight for Kathmandu.  No doubt the streets of Kathmandu felt like an assault on the senses after so many peaceful days in the mountains.

"Take-off" from Lukla...the exhilarating flight back to Kathmandu!

 Well done to all of you – you’ve earned the 3 nights of luxury that the Radisson Hotel, Kathmandu, will no doubt offer!

The innocent faces we leave behind
