1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #370 - Lukla to Phakding trek, Day1

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #370

- Lukla to Phakding trek, Day1
 

(All the excitement of the trek to EBC has started. Everything looks and feels new, from the mountainside flora to the 3 suspension bridges that we crossed. The Yeti plane accident memorial is an apt reminder that this is a raw, hostile environment we are in, and if we lose focus for a second, ankles or knees can get seriously hurt and with that, a premature end to the EBC trek. We arrived in Phakding at 2610m high after a 5hr trek, just before dark. Our lodge gave us a basic bed to sleep on, and not much else - the water for shower was heated, which was a relief. Sleep came easily tho)
