Ama Dablam: Elias & Team Fly to Lukla, Begin Trek

October 24, 2018

Posted by: Elias de Andres Martos

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Ama Dablam

Elevation: 8,700'

Namaste from the village of Phakding! Our days on the trail have started, and we cover the first stage of our acclimatizing trek. After an uneventful flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, gateway to the Himalaya, we ironically walked the trail that makes the first day being downhill. It is definitely special to be back in the Khumbu, and while we've haven't seen yet any major peaks, the change of pace from city to mountain, feels good and helps build up the excitement for the mission we have ahead. Everyone is in great spirits, healthy and psyched about what we're discovering so far! Stay tuned for more tomorrow, and some pictures. The game is on! RMI Guide Elias de Andres Martos
