CTSS Teams are all in the Khumbu Valley working their way towards basecamp and enjoying some of the most beautiful scenery in the world!

Our Western Guided Team moved up from Deboche today, stopping along the way at Pangboche for a blessing from the Lama before heading into Pheriche for the night. Tomorrow they’ll stay around Pheriche with an acclimation hike above the village.

The Private Guided Team Left Namche and continued up the valley. Everyone is feeling strong and doing well! Team member Bryan Hill sent some beautiful photos from their day, the Khumbu is truly an amazing place.

Our Personal Sherpa and IFMGA Sherpa teams tackled Namche hill in good time, strong crew before settling into Namche for the evening. Tomorrow they’ll take an acclimation hike up to Everest View Lodge for team. Mike Hamill is with the team and reported:

“We are starting to climb above the smoke from the forest fires but it is still a bit smoggy. There are very few people trekking in the valley so it feels good to have the place mostly all to ourselves, and everyone is very appreciative of us being here and bringing tourist money back to the region”

With the ups and downs of the last year, we’re glad to be back in the Khumbu valley with such fantastic people.

The teams are doing great!

Cheers,

CTSS Team
