Today is a special and intentional day.

We will carry a prayer flag to honor those who have departed. This is a quiet moment of remembrance, gratitude, and connection as we continue the journey upward.

We will have lunch midway, then begin a slow and steady trek toward Lobuche. Today, pacing matters more than distance.

Moving deliberately allows the body to adapt and helps preserve energy as we gain altitude.

Hydration is essential today. Even if we do not feel thirsty, we must be consistent and disciplined about drinking water. This is critical for acclimatization and overall well-being.

This day invites presence, patience, and care for ourselves and one another as we move deeper into the high mountains.

Accommodation: Eco Lodge in Lobuche
