I have no records of the morning, although I have some photos: I remember spending time during the afternoon on the cliff looking towards the glaciar. Feeling the centering that the open spaces can give. I found myself thinking how this seemed the aftermath of a place where supersaiyans have ravaged the place. It is […]

Himalaya’s trekking on 2017 – From Gokkyo to Thagnak
The top of the eatern hill was hiding a surprise: A view of a barren land of another planet. It is an old glaciar in a receding state. The look of it now is like seeing the bottom of a dry river, full of rocks as if pulverized by the force of ice long ago. […]
Himalaya’s trekking on 2017 – From Machermo to Gokkyo
Some muesli for breakfast and we depart at around 7:35 am. Again, the path starts ascending forcing us to walk slowly so we can make our breathing come to normal levels.

The first light of the day shines through the window driving my sight towards the Namche Bazaar landscape. I have some muesli with milk and the now traditional for me: Black coffee.

Himalaya’s trekking on 2017 – Second day
We get up to receive our breakfast. For me, porridge and a good black coffee. There is not much to wait before we set our way and start walking. Soon I discover Rivendel-like forests and wateralls, lots of pine trees and even one pinsapo (probably an himalayan alpine fir). Xan asked me many times to […]
Himalaya’s trekking on 2017 – Leaving Kathmandu
The hotel was busy with some celebration, it seems like a wedding The first thing that came to my attention is the amount of traffic on the streets, a river of cars and motorbikes and the traffic light that probably went abandoned 30 or 40 years ago. So the only way to cross this street […]
