Everest Base Camp Trek: Grom & Team Enjoy Rest Day in Pheriche
Greetings from the Khumbu Valley!
All is well here at 14,000ft and the team is doing great.
Today was a planned rest day to help our bodies adjust to the ever thinning air up here. And that’s what we mostly did. We split into two groups with one exploring around camp and seeing what yaks do when they’re not carrying loads on their backs, and the other went off in search of Yeti’s. Which took us up a nearby hill and just over 16,000ft. Unfortunately we didn’t see any yetis, but we did have some amazing views of the Valley and could see Cho Oyu, and Makalu (both 8000m peaks) in the far off distance.
The remaining part of the day was spent reading, writing, and napping in the warmth of the sun room of our tea house.
