The aim is to climb Mount Cho-Oyu at 8201 meters, followed by Mount Everest at 8848 meters. Before heading to the Big Mountains, Sherpa's and high altitude workers always give high priority to visit some of the monasteries that are important to them to be blessed by the High monk.

More than 6hours of driving by bus in the heat and humidity of the lower lands of the Kathmandu region with more than 900kilos of equipment for our exedition to Himlung Himal (7126m), we arrived after three days of hiking to our last stop before reaching the base camp.

The waterfalls are flowing to the rivers with lots of power due to the rain season, the fields and rocks are covered by a bright green carpet and the flowers are lightening the whole atmosphere.

From tomorrow on, the Adventure will start direction base camp of Himlung! Further news and pictures will follow... Namaste!
