Lyudmila Korobeshko, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

All namaste from Kathmandu from the Dhaulagiri group! Today, all participants of the expedition to Dhaulagiri gathered in the capital of Nepal. Each participant of our expedition has already visited Kathmandu several times and managed to climb several eight-thousand meters. Everyone has 3-5 8000+ vertices behind their backs. Having more experience, we all had a good rest from the flights today and went to our favorite Mezze in the evening. Then Nims (with whom we have repeatedly crossed paths on different 8000) invited us to a nearby Penthouse bar, where we tasted a set of "14 eight-thousanders" and tried to find our own Dhaulagiri.  A serious mountain 😊

Tomorrow we get permits, perform the most important ritual for good luck (try to guess which one) and visit Pashupatinath at sunset.

Namaste from Nepal!  The Himalayan Fox Cubs group has started an active part of the program.  Today we went from Lukla to Chukung. Spring blooming rhododendrons, pleasant mountain streams pleased the eye, helped to walk easily and naturally on the trek.  The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.

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

Today, the team of the 7 Summits Club "Everest-24" under the leadership of Alexander Abramov flew to Lukla. We flew by helicopters over the beautiful mountains of the Himalayas. We moved from Lukla amicably and cheerfully walking to Phacking. We settled in the best local loggia.

In the evening there was a lecture on medicine, which was conducted by our doctor Andrey Selivanov. Also today, a team of 6 people has been formed who will participate in the Everchess competitions. This is a record-breaking international chess tournament on Everest, the final will be held on May 8. In the meantime, we are practicing.
