Can We Take the Lift?

From the Everest hotel it was downhill all the way back to Lukla. When we say downhilll we mean quite a steep downhill, as you can see from our next shot showing the return route down to Namche Bazaar.


As you can see, our view was quite a birds eye one, and we could have done with a pair of wings - or a hang-glider - to get us down easily. It certainly made a change from our slow and steady uphill plodding, but, in view of the incline, we didn't really go much faster.

Even so, we were back in Lukla before we knew it and it was time to have a few farewell drinks with our wonderful trekking crew, before nervously awaiting the plane back to Kathmandu and still more adventures.

Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx

Hi Guys With your minder's history with hangliders I think you were wise to opt for the paws descent!
