EBC Journal: Day 12

Journal Entry Day 12
Descending Phakding to Lukla


Hiking to Lukla today--if weather is good, will try to get a flight out today. If not, will have to wait. People were arriving at the teahouse last night, hiking in by headlamps in the dark because of delayed flights due to bad weather. That could have been me when I first got here! I definitely do not pee as much at this lower altitude BTW. Walked the last 45min of yesterday in light rain. I almost gave up in the end but we made it :)

Finished the trek!

Made it to Lukla--10:50am! Still bad weather, no planes have flown either way. Not sure if there will be a room because of the flights not leaving. Im on my last pair of underwear and almost run of toilet paper--I hope I fly tomorrow. Got in just in time though--its now pouring rain!

Too cloudy for planes to fly



P.M: Rumor has it there is 3 feet of snow in Gorek Shep now. No planes flew today.
