Everest Base Camp Trek Team 1 reaches Namche Bazaar!

Hi Everyone,

We loaded up in the helicopters at 6:30 this morning and headed direct to Phakding, where we had originally planned to stay last night. The other members joined us after arriving from Kathmandu and the team was reunited! Going direct to Phakding allowed us to jump back on our original schedule. We all enjoyed a long day walking today with a big hill climb up to Namche Bazaar the cultural center of the Khumbu and of the Sherpa. Everyone did great and we are now in the care of our dear friends Sherap and Lakpa Doma of the Panorama Lodge! We are working on a team name!

Our Best
