sacred lakes of Gokyo
Revered by Hindu and Buddhist are a series of high altitude lakes. Very tranquil.
Late November they are freezing, groaning and moaning like some distressed beast.
To visit each I walked up the glacier towards my old friend Cho Oyu, the friendliest 8000+m peak. Eleven years ago we did the same thing, walking towards Cho Oyu from the Tibet side.
It was dark by the time I got back to Gokyo Resort. Mine was the finest room in the last village before Tibet. Expensive at $3. But I’m worth it.
Flying back to Kathmandu tomorrow. My 17 day trek ended.
From Starbucks, Lukla, Nepal.

Thank goodness for Starbucks. You were off the grid for a long time and I was getting worried. You sure are having a great trip!
