The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

 Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our supergroup "Inseparables", having made a short trek, reached to Gokyo. The day before, snow fell, which changed the surrounding views. In Gokyo we stayed in a luxurious hotel, overlooking the famous Gokyo Lake. The participants and guides were in a great mood. A hot shower revives and gives new strength.

Dmitry Semenov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our group "Inseparable" made a trek from the village of Dole to the high-mountain lodge Machermo (4470 m). Today was not a difficult day, the trek took two and a half hours. Now the team has half a day of rest, time for reading books and board games.

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, on a rest day, our group visited the Everest View high-mountain hotel, located at an altitude of 3885 meters. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to see Everest and other peaks. But on the way back, we visited a monastery in the village of Khumjun, where we saw an exposed yeti scalp. The day was meaningful, full of impressions. Tomorrow is a new trek, we are moving along the path to our goal.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today our new supergroup with the working title "Inseparable", despite all the difficulties, reached the village of Phakding. There we settled in comfortable conditions, in the excellent lodge of the Sherpa Guide.

Ama Dablam. Yesterday I returned from the acclimatization rotation. I spent one night in C1 at 5800. In the morning, my Sherpa and I reached C2 at 6050 in two hours, there were almost no people on the ropes. The climb is not easy - many uncomfortable traverses and walls, and on the Yellow Tower we even had to sweat a little and hang.

By lunchtime we had already descended to the BC to rest. There was just a group of familiar guys led by Denis Aleksenko. In the evening, Katya and Masha joined us, who had climbed the summit of Ama Dablam in the morning at an incredibly fast pace. And a little later, Vika Bonya from the neighboring Nims camp came to dinner, bringing lard as a gift to Denis's group. You can tell right away - an experienced climber! In the mountains, lard is the most important and useful product. This morning, we saw off Denis's group to the assault. And a little later, the sisters flew to Kathmandu. Today is my day of rest. Tomorrow - the move to C1, the day after tomorrow - C3 and the assault at night.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal! The "Pandas" group successfully climbed the Central summit of Mera Peak! It was quite warm and windless that day. The climb took 6 hours. From the top, such peaks as Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Baruntse and even Kanchenjunga were visible.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal from the group "Beryozka s salom"! Today we finished our program. This time we were not able to climb to the summit, but we do not give up hope to do it next time. There is time to prepare and with new strength to try again.

Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko from Nepal:

Ama Dablam Base Camp, 4600. Got here yesterday and immediately had several interesting meetings. I go into the mess hall, and there are our Borya Egorov and Alexey (Sivkov), who just came down from the summit of Ama Dablam, resting. They ran at a good pace from C2 to the summit and after lunch they went down to BC. And right there - the twins Katya and Masha - the heroines of the film about our expedition to K2. They ran in 2 days to Lobuche from Kathmandu and tomorrow they are running to the summit. "Speedy Squirrels" - what can you say.

My plan is to spend two nights at the BC and then an acclimatization hike to C1 at 5700. Borya and Alexey flew to Kathmandu early this morning.

 The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The "Pandas" group held an acclimatization day in Khare. They went to the viewpoint at 5200. After that, they held classes on moving along ropes with a jumar and a descender. Tomorrow we leave for the Mera Peak assault camp, at 5800.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

And-and-and… there is the summit of Ama Dablam! We left the second camp 6000m at 11 pm, at 6 am we met the dawn at 6814m. The first rocky part was brisk, but the 500m of vertical firn was not easy. There is nowhere to rest there, you need to constantly move and try not to think about where we are and what we are doing, just moving up. But at the top, it is beautiful! Now a well-deserved rest. Today we still managed to lose two kilometers and go down to the base camp, where we were met by Lyuda (Korobeshko). After all, Nepal is a meeting place for our friends, ha-ha. Hello everyone!

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide, Andrey Berezina, reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The "Pandas" group arrived today in Khare, a village located at the foot of Mera Peak. The trek was short, only 4 hours, with all the stops to explore the surrounding beauty. We rest the second part of the day. The altitude of 4900 m still makes itself felt.

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

 Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our super group "Berezka s salom" during a day's rest in the village of Khare, made an acclimatization hike to the Mera Peak base camp at an altitude of 5100 m.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The 7 Summits Club "Panda" group during these two days that we were without the Internet, crossed the Zatrva-La pass (4650), descended to Tuli-Karka, where we spent the night. And this morning we went to Kote (3500). If yesterday we walked most of the way up, today, on the contrary, we went down through the rhododendron forest. Tomorrow we go to Tagnak.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov sends from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal! Alexey and I finally got to the Ama Dablam base camp. To be honest, we have been over walking for this time, we want to sit in one place and not move anywhere. And tomorrow will be a day of rest, a full one. Now our further plan depends on the weather forecast. We will check the weather every evening and decide when to go on the assault.

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal! The "Pandas" group set out on the route to Mera Peak today. Yesterday we spent the whole day in Lukla, waiting for our luggage. Finally, the luggage is delivered, and nothing prevents us from moving on. So: in the morning we left Lukla for Chutang, at about 12 o'clock in the afternoon we were there. After lunch - a small climb to the heights (plus 250 meters vertically) after which we returned to the lodge for dinner. Tomorrow we have a long day, the crossing of the Zatrva-La pass is ahead.

Dmitry Semenov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from the mountainous Nepal! Today our super group "Berezki s salom" arrived in the village of Tagnag (4300m). This is our 5th day of the trip, to the summit of Meru. The group and the weather are excellent.

Boris Egorov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

 Interim results of the Nepalese trip. Alexey and I successfully completed acclimatization by climbing the peak of Lobuche 6100m. We left the camp as the last group and, not in a hurry, but confidently, overtook all the teams and were the first to reach the summit. We climbed in 4 hours. In some places we jumared and climbed the rocks, but for us it was a walk. And at the summit we met a crazy sunrise! Right after us, a cloud settled on the mountain and the rocks below the mountain, licked by the glacier, were lightly dusted, which added spice to the descent. And now we have already fortified ourselves with desserts and went to the shower in Pheriche (4250m). Tomorrow we go to the Ama Dablam base camp.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov sends from Nepal:

 Greetings from Lobuche! We reached the assault camp in two hours. And it turns out it's a resort! They poured sand, installed the Internet. We are resting, preparing for the night assault.

A Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! Nepal, or rather Lukla, is being capricious this year. Lukla airport has been closed for several days due to cloudiness. Even helicopters are not flying. Our "Panda" team flew in two parties to the village of Serke, which is a two-hour walk from Lukla. But our luggage will arrive only tomorrow. We will wait and explore the surroundings of Lukla.

Dmitry Semenov, the 7 Summits Club guide, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal, from the "Berezki s salom" group! Today is our second day and this day was very eventful. In the morning we visited the Swayambhunath temple complex, and in the evening, we got to Lukla. Moreover, we walked part of the way. The helicopter did not reach the airport due to the weather, so we walked through the night forest. In general, the adventures have begun. We are positive, in a good mood, ready for new challenges.
