Nepal trekkings 2023 spring

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

The Letter U group made a heroic ascent on Island Peak! The whole team reached the top and we were able to descend from it! Everything is fine, now we are resting at the Chukung Lodge, sharing our impressions after climbing and planning the next ascents. Then it will be descent to Kathmandu, rest and return home.

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

 All namaste from the Letter U group! Today we spent the day at the lodge.  We adjusted our equipment, took what was missing at the rent office. Then we went to practice with jumars and ropes. We have mastered the technique of rope climbing. We will have a lot of them on the ascent. Then we learned how to use descent devices. After lunch, we did a workout on how to walk on ladders lying through cracks! There is a feeling that we are preparing for Everest, but no - this Island Peak is so interesting this year!

Nikita Slotin, The Guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Hello to everyone from the helicopter, from the group "For money - YES"! Yesterday we reached the Everest base camp! The views are amazing, the weather allowed us to enjoy the Summits of Everest, Pumori, Nuptse! With the sounds of the victory anthem, we solemnly entered the camp, celebrated May 9, remembered our grandfathers, great-grandfathers, all who defended our Homeland! And we also congratulated our participant, Victoria, on her birthday! In the meantime, we are flying to Kathmandu to continue celebrating the end of our journey.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Kristina Putintseva reports from Nepal:

Greetings from the band "Iron S"! We woke up in our Luxury—Everest-Bace-Camp, washed ourselves with warm water, drank freshly brewed coffee, had breakfast with a view of Everest and Nuptse.

In the morning, half of our group was sent by helicopter to recuperate in Namche Bazaar. The rest of the group began a leisurely descent to Lobuche for lunch.

We enjoyed the views of boundless gorges and dizzying peaks. We stopped near the memorials, honored the memory of those who stayed in the mountains forever. They speculated that the risk should be justified.  And the lower we descended, the easier it became for us to breathe deeply. We stayed in Dingboche. We wished a group of climbers on Island Peak good luck and good weather, and went to recuperate before tomorrow's trek.

Your super guides, Sergey Avtomonov and Kristina Putintseva.

Nikita Slotin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Greetings to all from the group "For money - YES"! Today we got to Lobuche. The weather is excellent, the summits of Lobuche, Taboche and Nuptse were seen in all their glory. We visited the memorial to the lost climbers. We paid tribute to the memory of Valery Rozov, honored everyone with a minute of silence. We got to the loggia, met a beautiful girl, Alina, who recently climbed Annapurna. We talked, shared our plans with each other. Now we are resting, preparing for tomorrow!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Nastya Grigorievskaya reports from Nepal:

Greetings to all from our cheerful Iron S team!  We are in Periche! We overcame the day trek calmly and with pleasure, but how else if the sun accompanied us all day! Some guys were lucky enough to meet Alex Abramov, who was waiting for his transfer to the helicopter to Namche. In the evening we were fed heartily, there was even pizza! Ginger Lemon tea flows like a river, especially during evening conversations in the dining room.

The altitude is 4260, the flight is normal! Tomorrow we move to Lobuche. We embrace everyone!

Nikita Slotin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Greetings to all from Rivendell, from the group "For the money - YES"! No, we did not get to the abode of the elves from Tolkien's epic, it's just that there is such a lodge in Deboche. But looking at the forest and mountains around you, it feels like you've just fallen into a fairy tale. Today we walked to the monastery in Tengboche, saw how the monks read their prayers... We have forgiven our sins and moved on. Sergey Motorkin brought dried smelt with him from Togliatti and we are amicably absorbing it, washing it down with local beer! Very tasty, well, very much. Tomorrow, according to the plan, the trek to Periche.

Nikita Slotin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

 Greetings to all from Namche from the group "For money - YES"! The weather is excellent! The walk to 3880 was successful, we admired the nearest Summits: Tamserku, Taboche, Ama-Dablam. And of course, we saw Everest and Lhotse! Incredible beauty, juniper grove and fresh air. The rest continues. And tomorrow, according to the plan, we will go to Deboche.

Kristina Putintseva, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from the band "Iron S"!  Today we made an acclimatization walk by climbing up to the Everest View Hotel.  As the locals say: "I see you, and you see me, and this view is beautiful!"  We wandered like hedgehogs in the fog, periodically meeting horses, talked about the meaning of life, and about life in the mountains. After that, we found the remains of Bigfoot. We went to meditate at the Khumjung Gompa Monastery.

In general, today we walked "for everything": we went out under the clouds, got wet in the rain, wandered among the snowy firs, and went down mud streams! We regained strength with a hot lunch and delicious cakes. And in the evening we held an interactive master class with our legendary doctor, Andrey Selivanov, on how to properly use oxygen equipment at high altitudes.

Well, after dinner, we allowed ourselves to relax, spent an evening of meetings, music and dancing in a local bar with all the members of the 7 Summits Club groups: Everest climbers and those who are heading to the Everest Base Camp.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Nastya Grigorievskaya reports from Nepal:

The Iron S Group sends greetings from the capital of the Sherpas, we are in Namche Bazaar! The trek passed very cheerfully, all well done!  The result of completing the route is better than the planned time, the members feel great! We settled into a cozy lodge "Sherpa land", a change of scenery, dishes and climatic conditions.

Namche Bazaar left an indelible impression on all the participants of the trek, a kind of sip of civilization in the mountains! There are yaks on the streets, along with branded sports shops, and even an Irish pub with billiards and darts. Tomorrow we will acclimatize a little more in Namche, get used to the altitude, accept that the next warm walks will be only in a week. And we will continue moving towards the base camp.

Everyone is waiting to see this world - the world of climbers on the highest mountain of the planet - Everest! Plunge into their everyday life, chat and recharge. And maybe we will find the answer to the question "why go to Everest"?  By the way, what are your thoughts, why do people go to Everest?

Nikita Slotin, super-guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal from the group "For money - YES"! Today we were incredibly lucky, and in the morning we flew neither from Ramichap, but from Kathmandu to Lukla. The sky was gradually covered with clouds and when it was time to go out on the trek, it began to rain. It didn't upset us much, and we slowly got to the Phakding. Clouds hang on the slopes, clinging to the trees, the beauty is incredible, I love this weather. Let's see what awaits us tomorrow, and according to the plan, the trek to Namche Bazaar.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Nastya Grigorievskaya reports from Nepal:

Greetings from the band "Iron S", today we have renamed again! Our morning was set, but not for everyone. 14 of the 18 participants were stuck at Ramechape Airport for more than 6 hours due to weather conditions.  We got to Lukla after lunch, got acquainted with our porters, gave them their luggage and soon moved to our first lodge "Sherpa Shangri - La".  The route was very picturesque, occasionally getting into a traffic jam of yaks and mules.

Having settled in cozy rooms, we had a hearty dinner with dishes of national cuisine, and together we finish the third huge thermos of ginger lemon tea and talk about upcoming plans for tomorrow.

Tomorrow we will go to Namche Bazaar, where we will spend a two-day acclimatization!

We embrace everyone!

The guides of the program are Sergey Avtomonov, Kristina Putintseva and Nastya Georgievskaya.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

The group of Cats reached the Everest base camp. They scared us with winds, snow, and the weight of the lift, but we got there. We entered the camp with a beautiful, shiny, light gait. They were even waiting for us. The climbers themselves were waiting for Everest. We looked at them enviously all evening, they will touch the top of Everest! But, it seems, they also looked at us with envy, we are already down tomorrow. For some reason, the team's guide ran around all the camps on the Khumbu glacier before dinner, there is a whole city there. And the summit of Everest opened up to us!!!

Nikita Slotin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Greetings to all from the glorious city of Kathmandu from the group "For money - YES"! Today, all the band members finally met together for dinner. We eat meat before the upcoming road. We get acquainted, tell about our plans and already completed ascents, listen to stories about the Soviet period in the Himalayas... It seems that the weather is improving, and tomorrow we will fly to Lukla. The evening continues, and we are charged for adventures.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Nastya Grigorievskaya reports from Nepal:

A friendly team of trekking to the Everest base camp and a team of climbers on Island Peak gathered in Kathmandu! A total of 18 participants! Already at night we are moving to Ramechap airport, from where there will be a flight to Lukla.

Everyone is in a great mood, we walked around the city in the afternoon and got acquainted with the local cuisine, bought the missing equipment.  All the members were presented with branded gifts from the Club, and in the evening they had a warm welcome dinner!

In the evening, the name of the team was born: "Ginger, lemon and buzz". Well, let these components allow everyone to successfully acclimatize and successfully reach their intended goal! See you on the air!

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

 Peace, labor, May! A column of beautiful girls after a hearty breakfast opened the morning May Day demonstration in the town of Periche. Under the falling snow. The snow was coming from the very clouds and clouds that have been hiding the beauty of the Himalayas for the fourth day. So under the snow and partly with the wind we went all the way to Lobuche. We are no longer used to it. No one is frozen or wet, the snow is dry. And in the lodges, as always, we are the brightest, cheerful and not tired. Base camp wait for us tomorrow!

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

The Cat team moved from Deboche to Periche. We left the forest zone, passed the 4000m mark. We like the trail, we go merrily, the views are only hidden behind clouds again - we have to imagine the mountains around, and not look at them. But it's not scary, and what we saw is very impressive. A little more and we are at the Everest base camp!

Artem Rostovtsev, the super-guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

 News from the Cats group. This morning we left Namche Bazaar. We have to go to the Everest base camp, they are waiting for us there. A good trail with beautiful landscapes, we followed it to Debuche. It's just a little disappointing that all the majestic beauties of the Himalayas were hidden by dense clouds. They did not give Tengboche a chance to admire the monastery either. Unexpected rain and hail drove us to the lodge, where we spend the night. Tomorrow, according to the program, there will be afternoon precipitation from the sky again. But we hope not to get wet - they should not be liquid even after our arrival at the next lodge. Everyone feels good. We figured out how fast (or rather slowly) we need to move so as not to spoil our well-being and mood, as well as how to treat the slight impact of altitude on us.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

We are in the capital of the Sherpas - Namche Bazaar. In the morning, there was exercises, a delicious breakfast, in general, everything was fine at Yeti Mountain Home, thanks to us. In Namche, we also stayed at Yeti Home. We walked here for about 6 hours, just in time before the rain, which went almost according to schedule. The highlight of today's crossing is the Hillary Bridge. We had a person in our team who was excited just by the mention of this bridge. But while we got to him, we managed to fight their fears less on numerous bridges. In general, we are in Namche, we feel good, the next item of the program is an acclimatization walk to the Everest view hotel.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

- How to get to the Everest base camp?

- You should first go to Kathmandu airport, from there fly to Lukla, and best of all by helicopter. So the "Cats" team arrived early this morning. Then everything is standard - with your feet on the path towards the Phakding. No more on the first day. Everyone is absolutely delighted with both the helicopter flight and the walk along the trail, the views around are amazing. We didn't have time to get tired, so before dinner we worked up an appetite in a hill to a nearby monastery. And in general, we have a lot of fun.
