The trek is nearly complete with the team now resting in Samaguan. (aka Sama village) Samagaun (4,300m – approx 11,500ft) is the jumping off point to Base Camp and the last outpost. Stunning, it is surrounded by beautiful vistas of the Himalaya.

With some rest and acclimatization for 2days, the team will now ascend to Base Camp. A solid day up to 4,800m (15,750ft). For the struggle they are rewarded with beautiful views of the Birendra Taal glacial lake.

From there, the real climbing begins!
