Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

We are in the capital of the Sherpas - Namche Bazaar. In the morning, there was exercises, a delicious breakfast, in general, everything was fine at Yeti Mountain Home, thanks to us. In Namche, we also stayed at Yeti Home. We walked here for about 6 hours, just in time before the rain, which went almost according to schedule. The highlight of today's crossing is the Hillary Bridge. We had a person in our team who was excited just by the mention of this bridge. But while we got to him, we managed to fight their fears less on numerous bridges. In general, we are in Namche, we feel good, the next item of the program is an acclimatization walk to the Everest view hotel.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

- How to get to the Everest base camp?

- You should first go to Kathmandu airport, from there fly to Lukla, and best of all by helicopter. So the "Cats" team arrived early this morning. Then everything is standard - with your feet on the path towards the Phakding. No more on the first day. Everyone is absolutely delighted with both the helicopter flight and the walk along the trail, the views around are amazing. We didn't have time to get tired, so before dinner we worked up an appetite in a hill to a nearby monastery. And in general, we have a lot of fun.

Artem Rostovtsev, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from Kathmandu!  Another group of the 7 Summits Club goes on a beautiful trekking trip to the Everest base camp. With the unexpected name "Cats".
