Namaste to everyone from the "Himalayan Leopards" team! Today we left Dingboche and, admiring the majestic mountains, headed to the village of Lobuche. Along the way, we visited the memorial to the fallen climbers in the Himalayas. Finally, we reviewed our route to the summit. The weather is perfect. We're continuing according to plan, first to the summit camp and from there to the summit. This was 7 Summits Club Guide Sergey Avtomonov.

The "Himalayan Snow Leopards" team continued their trek up Lobuche today. We departed from Rivendale Lodge and left the forest zone. Now we were surrounded by more snow-capped peaks, and the wind was blowing straight from the glaciers. We walked all day along the river, admiring Ama Dablam. We saw our destination, Lobuche East, for the first time. By lunchtime, we reached our lodge stop in Dingboche. We had lunch and rested at the lodge. Tomorrow we'll be heading to the last lodge on our route; higher up, there's only the base camp with tents. This was 7 Summits Club guide Sergey Avtomonov.

Namaste from the Himalayan Leopards group! Today we spent the day in Namche Bazaar. We slept in the morning, then went to the Everest View Hotel. The weather was kind, and we were able to see all the beauty of the Himalayas – all the main peaks, including Everest, were revealed to us. We drank tea at the hotel and descended. In the comfortable lodge, we showered, had a massage, and rested. Today is our last day, when the weather is really warm. We then leave the forest zone completely and walk through Tingboche Monastery to our favorite lodge. With you was Sergey Avtomonov, the 7 Summits Club guide.

Greetings from Nepal from the "Himalayan Leopards" group! Yesterday we gathered in Kathmandu. The participants rested from the flight, and checked their gear in the evening. This morning, we flew to Lukla by helicopter. We admired the magnificent mountain views from the helicopter. Then we entered the National Park and walked to our final destination—the beautiful Shangri-la Lodge. This is our home for today, and tomorrow we head off to Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital. This was 7 Summits Club Guide Sergey Avtomonov.

The 7 Summits Club group "To Ararat with Ararat" climbed to the top of Mount Ararat today, with Ararat (that's the name of one of our participants), but not only with him, but the whole team! Hooray! At two o'clock in the morning we left the camp and climbed to the top at a steady, measured pace. At the top of the route there was a fairly strong wind, about 40 kilometers per hour, but it did not break us, and we reached the summit of Mount Ararat. Then there was a long, rather grueling descent, first to the assault camp, then to the base camp and then to the hotel. Now we have all settled into the hotel and are resting. With you was the guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov.

The 7 Summits Club group "To Ararat with Ararat" climbed to the assault camp today. The day was very hot and we walked to the camp slowly. It is not very clear whether this made it easier or not, but all the participants feel good and are ready for the ascent. In the evening, we adjusted the crampons, decided what everyone should wear for the exit. The weather forecast for the day of the assault promises sun and breeze. So, at night we go to the ascent. With you was the guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov.

Our group on Ararat decided on its name, we are called "To Ararat with Ararat". Today we went radially from the base camp to the assault camp. The whole group safely reached the height of 4200. It was warm and comfortable. We walked slowly and slowly reached the camp. We sat there for half an hour, then went down to the base camp. Now we are resting, getting ready to go to the assault camp tomorrow. From where we go to the summit at night. With you was the guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov.

Today our group continued its ascent. We left Van in the morning, drove three hours to Dogubayazit, from where we saw Ararat for the first time during our trip. Then we changed the car and climbed it to an altitude of 2500 meters. Then we walked to the base camp for acclimatization. It was hot, but we drank a lot of water and slowly reached our camp. We settled into comfortable tents, had a tasty meal and are resting. With you was the guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

Hello everyone! Our "Group of healthy travelers" climbed the summit of Ararat today! Hooray! It was very difficult for the group members, we walked for more than 6 hours up, then a little faster and easier down. Now we are already resting in the hotel of the city of Dogubayazit.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

Hello everyone, a group of "healthy travelers" left the city of Van and began climbing the sacred mountain Ararat! We drove by car to 2500, then walked to our base camp.

On the way, we were a little scared by the rain, but in the end it never started.

The 7 Summits Club group "Agiri" returned to the city of Van today. In the morning we were on an excursion to the palace of Ishak Pasha, then we went to Van, which is already native to us. On the way we stopped for a picnic on the lake and swam in soda water. And in the evening, all the participants of the ascent received well-deserved medals! With you were guides Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiev.

Hello everyone! The 7 Summits Club "Agiri" group stood at the top of Mount Ararat this morning in full force! We left at two in the morning and calmly reached the sumit. The weather was favorable for our ascent. The group also descended quite quickly. Hooray! Guides Leuan Atabiev and Sergey Avtomonov.

Greetings to everyone from the assault camp of Mount Ararat from the "Agiri" group! Today we got up a little later, slowly got ready, watched the horses take our bags and slowly went to the assault camp. We ate, discussed the last details of the ascent and went to bed. Tomorrow at 2 am we leave for the ascent. With you were guides Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiev.

Greetings from the slopes of Ararat from the "Agiri" group! Today we had an acclimatization rotation to the assault camp. In the morning it seemed that it would rain, but by our exit everything had stretched out. We left quite quickly, went up and admired the views of Ararat along the way. When we reached the assault camp, the mountain was covered, and we again prepared for the rain. But we were almost not wet, and we returned to our camp dry. We rested, ate and are preparing for tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go up to spend the night in the assault camp. With you were guides Leuan Atabiev and Sergey Avtomonov.

Today our new group called "Agiri" left Van towards Ararat. We got there in three hours. We went out on the trail. At first it was very hot. Then it started to rain, but the sun did not stop shining. When we reached the base camp, the weather improved, and we dried off. We had lunch, rested, and then it started to rain again. We hope the weather will improve tomorrow.

With you were guides Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiev.

With you were the guides of the 7 Summits Club Leuan Atabiev and Sergey Avtomonov.

The 7 Summits Club group "Fathers and Sons" is in touch! Today we had a relatively easy day. We climbed up to the assault camp of Ararat along a familiar road. It was hot, but quite bearable. We got there even faster than yesterday. We settled into small tents and slept. In the evening we held the final briefing and went our separate ways to rest before the ascent. Tonight we are heading out to storm! With you were the guides of the 7 Summits Club Leuan Atabiev and Sergey Avtomonov.
