Day 12 (20/08/2012) Lobuche trek to - walk Everest Base camp -2 hrs/7 hrs.
Day 13 (21/08/2012) Gorak Shep –climbs up to and descend to Pheriche (4200m) – total 8.5 hrs.
Hurray!!!! It snows in the morning, when we climb up to Kala Patthar at 6am. The snow flake are so light and tiny.
We could have feel more if we left at 4am, as per planned.
My greatest regret is that I turned back 200m just before the Kala Patthar summit because I saw Shinta dragging herself and our poor porter up. She cannot make it to the top.
Reached the base camp with a German girl and her porter. I am paying my guide to ignore my safety and rest in that comfortable guest house.
A rescue team is here.... this time not for me.... and it will never happen on me again.
Shinta and our poor porter.... crawling way behind me
There are less fog on the second day at Kala Patthar, but too bad, we do not make the second attempt up... because we cannot afford Shinta pace. We need to move down to catch my flight home.
