With our Western Guided team resting and enjoying Everest Base Camp, it was time for many private climbers to take their first spin on the upper mountain. Climbers tagged Camp 2 earlier today and are returning to Camp 1 for the evening before making their way back to Base Camp tomorrow. Below are a few shots from Nani Stahringer, who is our lead guide for the Western Guided team, above Base Camp. 

Today, our final team of Everest Base Camp trekkers arrived at camp and are ready to kick back and relax in our Big House. Tomorrow, they get a taste of what it feels like to be an Everest climber when they partake in a beginner-friendly ice climbing clinic at the foot of the Khumbu Glacier. If you’ve been following along, you might have noticed that this beginner-friendly clinic is a staple on both our Rugged Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek & Stay and our spring-season Everest Base Camp Trek & Stay. We want all of our trekkers to walk away having had the experience of a lifetime that goes above and beyond their expectations.

And finally, today, we want to share a few photos from our Lobuche East climber, Kae, who has been making the most of her time in the Khumbu. These images capture the essence of so many of our favorite things, from the Puja ceremony to skills training, with lots of smiles and laughs in between. Thank you, Kae, for sharing:
