Lobuche to Gorakshep
This segment tends to take two to three hours, during which you'll gain almost 300 meters in altitude. But let me tell you, every step feels like a lot of work at this point. The lower oxygen levels impact your ability to move forward.
As always, the surrounding mountains play hide-and-seek with each other. Some peaks reveal themselves while others remain in mystery. The rugged terrain, the crisp air, and the sheer majesty of the Himalayas – it's an experience like no other.
Before finally reaching Gorakshep, we crossed over the Changri Shar Glacier, originating from the surrounding peaks of Pumori (7,161m), Changri (6,027m), and Chumbu (6,859m).
