- FROM LUKLA TO MARATIKA CAVE VIA PIKE PEAK 4065M BASIC LODGE TREK AND VOLUNTARY WORK, 30 DAYS 29 SEP TO 28TH OCT 2015
Dear SFT Family
A little story in Nepal.
We went the third day after a warm welcome in Pharping, to the domestic airport. Lucky we , the weather was very good and the flight to Lukla amazing. We had a good landing with a beautiful view. Our guide was waiting for us and after a soup we started walking with the impressed mountains around us. Sonam, our guide was really attentive and professional. He guided tempo in a way that we enjoy walking and our acclimatisation was natural. The earthquake damage was visible in the beautiful villages with very attentive sherpa families. Living in a surrounding of mountains nature gives live a strenght thats related to that nature. Pure, sometimes rough but always amazing impressive beautiful. We loved the white peaks and hard work to reach next villages and monastries where we were really welcome. Sonam could tell a lot about the knowledge and Halesi was like an extra gift in the trekking. Together with our guide and porter after traveling 20 days we felt like family, an amazing experience and wisdom. It was every day a surprise but the attention for the food, also cooking by Sonam, makes us very healthy. Ready to go back to Pharping with warm memories of lovely sherpa nepali people and beautiful mountains and nature and healthy dalbhat.
Greetings Jolanda and Will, and a big hug for Tony.
