slowly, slowly to Everest

So far, so good.

Departing Namche. The mantra is “slowly, slowly” to not trigger altitude sickness.

The Three Pass route I’m planning is only moderately difficult, except for altitude. It’s high and high for a long time. I’ll be at least 6 times over 5000m maxing out at 5535m.

Trekking peaks, for which you need a permit, are 6000m+.

I might find internet one more time before Everest Base Camp.
