1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #376 - Dingboche to Lobuche @ 4940m, Day7
1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #376

But when the rain started and the wind began to blow stronger, it became a real challenge trying to reach Lobuche. We are now so high our breathing was much harder, taking 3 or 4 puffs for every 2 or 3 steps. The body tells you very quickly that you do not have enough oxygen - unlike the yaks here with bigger lungs. Just look at that turquoise blue morning sky painted around the mountains here over Lobuche..)
