The 7 Summits Club  guide Kotlyar sends from Nepal: 

Hello everyone from Everest Base Camp! Today was a day full of a variety of emotions)) At 4 am, our trekking group set out to climb Kala Patthar Peak. For many participants, this was their first mountain experience, and not everyone found the climb easy, but we did it! At 7 am, our entire team was standing at the summit!

 We descended to Gorakshep, had breakfast, and headed towards Everest Base Camp — the final point of our program. Today, we reunited with the climbing team, and we missed each other during the day!

 All participants, without exception, were shocked by the conditions and service we provide here! Alex Abramov and Viktor Volodin rode into the camp on horses, it was epic! Lena Abramova greeted us with champagne and snacks, and for lunch there was delicious borscht!

In the evening, our trekkers were awarded, we watched films on the plasma, sang songs with a guitar. It was very soulful! Tomorrow we return to Kathmandu.

The personnel of the 2025 Everest expedition arrived at Everest Base Camp. The 7 Summits Club and 8000 Club teams ascended there today, led by their leaders Alex Abramov and Viktor Volodin. A ceremonial welcome with champagne was arranged, and then borscht was served for lunch! All the new arrivals were delighted with the level of comfort in the camp!

April 24, Dhaulagiri. Namaste from Nepal to everyone from the "Dhaulagiri Lovers Club" group! We are finally home! That is, at the Dhaulagiri Base Camp (BC). Behind us are 5 days of intense trekking with two passes above 5200 and an ascent on a peak at 5800 m. We spent three of the four nights at 5000. We hope this will replace one rotation on the slopes of Dhaulagiri. The trek, by the way, is very wild. We met almost no people, there is no infrastructure. We spent the last night in a picturesque place by the river. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Reminds me of Tibet.

Today we overcame the highest pass on our way - French Pass. And by lunchtime we entered the camp, where our favorite chef Dendy and his team warmly greeted us. A scarf on the neck, an aperitif, chicken water soup, onions and garlic. Everything as we like.
Now we will rest in the camp at 4700 for the next 2-3 days. We will arrange a bathhouse and a big wash.
