An important Monestary in Tengboche

Mt. Everest! View from Kalapatar

I made it over the Chola Pass! A steep assent in the snow at 5300+ meters

Hey everyone! I have been in a different part of Nepal for a while... no internet access or phones or cars... yaks only. We went on a little trek to Everest Base Camp. I climbed insanely high peaks (Kalapatar - 18,500 feet was my tallest), and saw the most beautiful parts of the earth. I should be most impressed by the mountain Everest... it was definitely amazing. However, I was most fascinated by the huge glaciers. I had seen Glaciers in Montana, but not like these... they were miles wide and long. It was also completely silent, so you could here ice shifting. We had to cross a few, and it felt like a star wars movie.. caverns and silence...

This is definitely one of the most beautiful regions of the world. In the lower regions there are beautiful trees and vege

I met the greatest people. Where I live in Kathmandu is primarily Hindu. The Solukumbu region is primarily Buddhist, and it is a totally different experience.

I am healthy and happy... my feet hurt a little, but all is well.

I have so much to do now that I'm back in Kathmandu. Tonight or tomorrow, I will try to compose a beautiful blog about the details of my experience...
