Cherie just phoned in and the team has arrived safely in Lobuche, 4910m.

The barron surrounds of Loboche (4910m)

 Everyone is still traveling well and in good health although they are all starting to feel the effects of the altitude.

These powerful beasts trek to Base Camp Everest too!

 The nights have been cold but the weather has been beautiful for trekking in the mornings and early afternoons.  The team enjoyed Santa’s pizza, mash and apple pie last night – not sure how he does it but Santa manages to cook up high-altitude masterpieces night after night!

Our amazing Sherpa staff set up tents at Loboche

Tomorrow the team continues on to Gorak Shep – the last stop before Everest Base Camp!
