Lots of sunscreen and buff coverage keep the sun at bay. There wasn't a cloud in the sky all day which is a little unusual as most days usually cloud up mid to late afternoon. Not today.
We were in the snow all day today which mad for some slippery conditions in some areas but we used caution and went slowly.
The whole way up you are surrounded by massive peaks 360 degrees. The tallest of which is Choyo which is one of the 14 peaks in the world over 8,000 meters. We had a view of it almost all day. It is also similar to Everest in that one side is in Nepal and the other Tibet.
I am convinced that the color blue was invented in the himalayan sky. You honestly cannot put into words how truly spectacular it is.
We passed three of the Gokyo lakes and are in the small village of Gokyo that has about 7 teahouses.
Tomorrow morning we will get an early jump and summit Gokyo Ri. Really looking forward to some amazing views.
