the beginning

It all began with a flight into the Tenzing-Hillary airport in a town called Lukla. We were lucky with fairly clear weather for the flight, which allowed for some very nice views of the mountains on the way. The first day was an easy warm up with only about 3 hours of walking mostly down and flat. Below are some photos of other things besides the mountains, there will be lots of mountain photos in the near future.
