President of the 7 Summits Club, head of the Everest expedition Alexander Abramov reports from Nepal:

 Everest. The team of the 7 Summits Club. Yesterday we made a long journey from Phakding to Namche Bazaar.  In Montjo, we all took a picture together with a model of Everest. Namche is getting more beautiful every year. We met a lot of trekkers here.  In the evening, our team was provided with a separate bar.  That's what they said - it's yours.

With great sorrow we learned about the death on Annapurna of our friend, the guide of our expeditions, Noel Hanna.

The head of the expedition on Makalu Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Nepal:

Greetings to all from Kathmandu from the expedition on Makalu! Today, on April 18, the last two participants arrived - Marina and Valery Babanov. We sent part of the cargo immediately under Makalu (in very beautiful bags). Then part of the group went to buy equipment, and the other part - to get acquainted with the culture of Nepal.

We visited several Hindu and Buddhist temples, saw the world's largest statue of Padmasabhava, meditated in the caves where Padmasabhava himself achieved enlightenment, made three koras around the largest stupa in Nepal.

In the evening we gathered for a gala dinner, which our Ecuadorian friend, Edgar Parra, unexpectedly shared with us. Tomorrow morning, according to the plan, we will start the trek to Everest Base camp.

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

The Drink team group reached the loggia in Khar – at 4900 meters. We walked slowly in good weather and with a light breeze. We had lunch and then went higher, to acclimatize to a height of 5100. Tomorrow the plan is to make a final check of the equipment, conduct classes on the use of jumars and the rest of our toys. And in the evening we decided to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Dynamo club. Therefore, instead of beer, we drink rum today and justify our name!

In total, we climbed 900 meters. Now we are sitting in the camp, preparing to go out at night to climb the summit.
