Hello from the group of Shaggy Yaks!  Trekking "Around Annapurna". Again we had an early start, thia time – for the highest pass on our route - Torong La( 5416 meters).  We were waiting by morning magical views, beauty as in a fairy tale, and, of course, a heavy long climb. At the pass we drank tea, admired the beauty and then there was the same long descent. We went down to the village of Mukhtinath. In General, this hardest day of the trek we went well.

Greetings from our group!  We haven't been in touch for days because we've been climbing Island Peak. Yesterday, October 25th, we climbed Island Peak (6140). For the ascent we used a reserve day, as the cyclone came from the Indian Ocean.  And every day it snowed. As a result: we made the summit in uncomfortable conditions.

The group guide Andrey Berezin from Nepal:

Group guide Andrey Berezin:

News from the group of 7 Summits Club from Nepal.   This morning we climbed Kalapatar (5643 meters). The ascent was not easy, as it snowed at night and early in the morning, and there was a wind. But this did not prevent us from achieving our goal. Now we have now descended to Dingboche. Tomorrow our group is divided, part goes towards Lukla, and ends there trekking, and the second part of the group continues its program:  we plan to climb Island peak.

The 7 Summits Club group guide Andrey Berezin from Nepal:

So, our group  reached the final goal of the trip, namely, the Everest Base camp. Today we came to Gorak Shep. And in the afternoon visited Everest Base camp. Tomorrow we have Kalapatar planned.

Group guide Andrey Berezin from Nepal:

 The group continues trek on to the Everest Base camp. Today we moved from Pheriche to Lobuche. The pictures changed from dense vegetation to an autumn-tundra landscape. It's not as hot as it used to be in lower valley. And the second day we do relatively small distance. No more than 10 km per day. Tomorrow we will be in Gorak Shep, where Everest base camp is only an hour's walk away.

Group guide Andrey Berezin from Nepal:

Meanwhile, the 7 Summits Club group continues on its way to the Everest Base camp. Today we came to Pheriche (4300). It gets cooler and cooler with the climb up the valley. We already wear extra layers of clothing and down jackets on overnight stays. Tomorrow we have to go to Lobuche.

Guide of the group Andrey Berezin:

 We continue to send you news of the group going to Everest Base camp. Today we left Namche Bazaar -the capital of the Sherpas, and moved to Dingboche, which is near the famous Tengboche monastery.  Tomorrow we plan to go up to Periche.

Guide of the group Andrey Berezin:

 Today we visited the vicinity of Namche Bazaar. We went to the famous hotel "Everest view", which offers stunning views of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam. After that, we walked to the Green valley, visited the village of Kumjung, where the local monastery keeps the scalp of the Yeti. After that we returned to Namche Bazaar. Tomorrow the plan is to move to Pangboche.

 Andrey Berezin, a guide of the group:

Today we had a "Day of bridges". Namely: our way from Phakding to the Sherpa capital Namche Bazar, passed through the valley of the Bhote Koshi Nadi river. And the path ran from one bank to the other. In general, Nepal is famous for its suspension bridges. About 20 years ago, a program was organized to replace bridges in the country. The authorities replaced all the old bamboo and wooden bridges with metal ones.   And they are securely attached to metal cables.

 As a result: we are in Namche Bazaar tired, but happy.  Tomorrow we will spend the day in the vicinity of the capital of the Sherpas.

Andrey Berezin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:

A new group of the 7 Summits Club began its program of hiking to Everest Base camp and Island peak. After many adventures with flying to Kathmandu, we successfully reached Lukla and then made the walk to the village of Phakding, where we stopped for the night. Tomorrow we plan to go up to Namche Bazaar.
