Gokyo Trek: Elias & Team Begin Their Descent

October 26, 2017

Posted by: Elias de Andres Martos

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Gokyo Trek

Elevation: 13,255'

Today we descended from Gokyo with the sense of accomplishment of having reached the highlights and high points of our trek. As we descended, only the quiet Turquoise Goddess (Cho Oyu) continued to peer above. The cold temperatures of the late afternoon brought the misty fog to surround us as we made the last turns on the trail into Dhole. The caravans of yaks now substituted those of porters, the tea houses became more hospitable, and the air thicker. We're headed now into the lower Khumbu. RMI Guide Elias de Andres Martos
