 The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The "Pandas" group held an acclimatization day in Khare. They went to the viewpoint at 5200. After that, they held classes on moving along ropes with a jumar and a descender. Tomorrow we leave for the Mera Peak assault camp, at 5800.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide, Andrey Berezina, reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The "Pandas" group arrived today in Khare, a village located at the foot of Mera Peak. The trek was short, only 4 hours, with all the stops to explore the surrounding beauty. We rest the second part of the day. The altitude of 4900 m still makes itself felt.

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

 Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our super group "Berezka s salom" during a day's rest in the village of Khare, made an acclimatization hike to the Mera Peak base camp at an altitude of 5100 m.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The 7 Summits Club "Panda" group during these two days that we were without the Internet, crossed the Zatrva-La pass (4650), descended to Tuli-Karka, where we spent the night. And this morning we went to Kote (3500). If yesterday we walked most of the way up, today, on the contrary, we went down through the rhododendron forest. Tomorrow we go to Tagnak.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov sends from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal! Alexey and I finally got to the Ama Dablam base camp. To be honest, we have been over walking for this time, we want to sit in one place and not move anywhere. And tomorrow will be a day of rest, a full one. Now our further plan depends on the weather forecast. We will check the weather every evening and decide when to go on the assault.

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal! The "Pandas" group set out on the route to Mera Peak today. Yesterday we spent the whole day in Lukla, waiting for our luggage. Finally, the luggage is delivered, and nothing prevents us from moving on. So: in the morning we left Lukla for Chutang, at about 12 o'clock in the afternoon we were there. After lunch - a small climb to the heights (plus 250 meters vertically) after which we returned to the lodge for dinner. Tomorrow we have a long day, the crossing of the Zatrva-La pass is ahead.

Dmitry Semenov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from the mountainous Nepal! Today our super group "Berezki s salom" arrived in the village of Tagnag (4300m). This is our 5th day of the trip, to the summit of Meru. The group and the weather are excellent.

Boris Egorov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

 Interim results of the Nepalese trip. Alexey and I successfully completed acclimatization by climbing the peak of Lobuche 6100m. We left the camp as the last group and, not in a hurry, but confidently, overtook all the teams and were the first to reach the summit. We climbed in 4 hours. In some places we jumared and climbed the rocks, but for us it was a walk. And at the summit we met a crazy sunrise! Right after us, a cloud settled on the mountain and the rocks below the mountain, licked by the glacier, were lightly dusted, which added spice to the descent. And now we have already fortified ourselves with desserts and went to the shower in Pheriche (4250m). Tomorrow we go to the Ama Dablam base camp.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov sends from Nepal:

 Greetings from Lobuche! We reached the assault camp in two hours. And it turns out it's a resort! They poured sand, installed the Internet. We are resting, preparing for the night assault.

A Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! Nepal, or rather Lukla, is being capricious this year. Lukla airport has been closed for several days due to cloudiness. Even helicopters are not flying. Our "Panda" team flew in two parties to the village of Serke, which is a two-hour walk from Lukla. But our luggage will arrive only tomorrow. We will wait and explore the surroundings of Lukla.

Dmitry Semenov, the 7 Summits Club guide, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal, from the "Berezki s salom" group! Today is our second day and this day was very eventful. In the morning we visited the Swayambhunath temple complex, and in the evening, we got to Lukla. Moreover, we walked part of the way. The helicopter did not reach the airport due to the weather, so we walked through the night forest. In general, the adventures have begun. We are positive, in a good mood, ready for new challenges.

Boris Egorov, the 7 Summits Club guide, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from the Himalayas! Our sports group had an acclimatization climb today to the neighboring peak with the unpronounceable name of Nangkartshang 5073m.

There were a lot of rock bolder on the slopes, and we climbed a couple of them with pleasure. That's what active acclimatization means. And of course, the views around are something! Lobuche, Makalu, Island and much more around. And today we soared there above the clouds.

Tomorrow is the next trek to Lobuche.

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

Namaste, from his native Kathmandu! Today our supergroup "Birches Solo" gathered in the capital of Nepal. And tomorrow we are ready to begin our journey to the summit of Mera Peak (6476 m).

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Nepal. Today Alexey and I made another trek and arrived at Dingboche 4400m. Gorgeous views all around! The mountain peaks became closer. It was a nice day. We are already starting to get used to walking and hardly get tired, so after lunch we explored the surroundings.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Hello! Today, our duo with Alexey explored the surroundings of Namche. For acclimatization purposes, we climbed 400 meters to the observation deck, where we had a good look at the goal of our journey, Mount Ama Dablam. The summit, of course, is impressive and very different in shape from everything around. And Everest and Lhotse appeared in the clouds in the distance. We watched the rotary-wing minibuses and visited the museum of mountain garbage. In Namche itself, we once again went around all the shops, in general, we had a good rest and are ready to continue our journey up tomorrow.

The 7 Summits Club guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

 The third day of the Ama Dablam expedition. Today we reached Namche. We photographed all the buffalos and donkeys we met, had lunch with a beautiful view of the gorge and, of course, checked in at the Hillary Bridge. We didn't have time to get tired, we arrived quickly. And we are still on friendly terms with the heights. And as soon as we checked in, we went for a walk around the city. It was very difficult, but we refrained from buying souvenirs. But we couldn't pass by the gear store. We bought only the bare necessities there, of course. And that's it, now we are resting. Tomorrow we have a short walk to the observation deck, we want to see Everest.

The 7 Summits Club guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal! The "70s" group in full force climbed the summit of Island Peak! Due to the deterioration of the weather on the planned day, we decided to go from Dingboche to the base camp, without spending the night in Chukung. Result: we had good clear windless weather, and we stood on the top and admired the wonderful views.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Hello everyone from the trekking route in the Himalayas! In the morning, we flew to Lukla by helicopter without any problems and went on the trek. And although we were in no hurry and stopped for tea and photo sessions, we still arrived in Phakding village in 2.5 hours. The altitude is 2600 meters, and we feel great. The service at the lodge is amazing. Clean, cozy and delicious. Now is the time to rest. Tomorrow is a longer trek with a decent gain in altitude. We are looking forward to meeting Namche Bazaar!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Alexey and I finally got to Nepal! We set our sights on the most beautiful mountain in the world - Ama Dablam. I am probably the last 7 Summits Club guide who has not been here before. And we like it here! Friendly people and decent food. Today we had a city tour of the main attractions and holy places of Kathmandu. We visited the largest and one of the oldest Buddhist stupas in the world, the central square and many temples. We watched the ceremonial burning of the dead and how children nearby jumped from a high bridge into a small river. We saw a lot, but we were a little tired of the smell of sewage. And after lunch, having rested a bit in our clean hotel, we reached the climbing wall, it is very close to us. Of course, we couldn't miss the opportunity to get our blood pumping and give our fingers a little exercise before a long break! And we had fun climbing with local Nepalese climbers on the holds. And now we are completely ready for the adventure to begin. Tomorrow, according to the plan, at dawn, we fly by helicopter to Lukla. I hope everything goes without delays.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! Today, the morning of the "70s" group began long before dawn. At three o'clock in the morning, we went to Kalapathar to see the morning Everest from a vantage point. After that we went back down to Gorakshep, from where we went to Dingboche. Tomorrow our team splits up: part of the group, having completed the program "Trekking to Everest Base Camp", goes to Lukla, and from there to Kathmandu. The second part goes to Chukhung, from where it will go to Island Peak.
