The day 1 is over and I can safely say that it was a successful day, though towards the end I was feeling exhausted.
The day did not start on a very good note. The weather changed and all the flights from Kathmandu to Lukla were getting cancelled. Thankfully my coordinator managed to get one seat for me on a helicopter. I was supposed to fly out at 9.30 in the morning instead the ride took off at 1.
Finally around 2 I reached Lukla, my guide was waiting for me. Lukla is one of the smallest airport in the world with the smallest airstrip.
After landing, first I had my lunch and then the trek started. Today's trek time was total 4 hrs and we lost elevation by 200 metres from Lukla.
On the way the scenes were simply stunning. It was drizzling on n off so there was lot of haze and the views were not very clear. Along the way I could see the Dudh Koshi river, small monasteries, prayers wheels and blessings stones. There were Yaks, horses also crossed paths.
On todays path there were 2 suspension bridges. Quite an experience to walk on them. If you look down, then its scary, if you look ahead and keep walking then there's no hassle.
Because we started late we reached our hotel also late. On reaching first thing I did was to finish my dinner because then I wanted to get into my room and relax.
Here are the pictures from today
Cheers @nainaztengra that place looks stunning, the pictures are beautiful, I wish everything goes very well, thanks for sharing them!
Thank you for your good wishes, so far all good
Everything already sounds fun, I’m always rushing to look at those pictures
Please be safe
That's really good to hear for me as well
Wow
Lukla airport is so small but I love it that way
I’ve never been on the helicopter before but I hope so someday…
Its a tiny winy airport, on the look of it, just 1 room
सबसे पहले तो मैं आपको एवरेस्ट बेस कैम्प के लिए गुड लक कहना चाहूंगा। लुकला फ्लाइट थोड़ी स्केरी होती है लेकिन आपके सही सलामत पहुंचने पर मुझे खुशी हुई। सस्पेंशन ब्रिज तो इकोनिक ब्रिज है इस ट्रैक का।
इंतज़ार रहेगा इस जर्नी को देखने का।
Thank you for your good wishes. Its almost coming to an end and I am already scared for tomorrow
Is internet works through the way?
Breathtaking view. I'm sure you enjoyed your trekking activity on that place. That might be tiring yet fulfilling. 🫶
True, tiring but very fulfilling
Yes ma'am. How scary the area is. It's good that you have a guide in your trekking ma'am. 😊 But, I wonder, no snow in the area? Heheeh
At lower regions there is no snow
I thought Mt. Everest was full of snow, but because of your trekking ma'am, I'm already aware.😊
Nice! Keep safe out there and have lots of fun. 🥰
Thank you
This is the first day of your journey, so always capture these beautiful memories in your room and make your journey such that you will remember it for a long time.
And its almost coming to an end now with beautiful memories
