The team flew safely into Lukla this morning, an early 5am start, a perfect flight, although a little cloudy so we didn’t get to enjoy the views of the Himalaya but a safe and easy landing.

A mellow 3hour hike and we’re settled in Phakding where we will stay the night before hiking up to Namache tomorrow. The first day in the valley is usually very relaxed as everyone gets into the groove. Guide Casey is already dropping the Dad jokes, not even an hour into the trail – the favorite so far… “What does the fish say when it swims into a wall? “DAM” Needless to say everyone is laughing and having fun already and the team is connecting and getting to know each other.
