The team is all here – the gear is all packed – the trucks are loaded and we're off!

 

the last few days have been fairly hectic and kaotic with lots of last minute shopping, getting electronic repair kits made, sorting out pelican cases – meetings with the Ministry of Tourism – avoiding street hawkers and basically getting into the swing of life in Kathmandu.

 

Today we'll be driving for about 10 hours to the town of Arughat.  From there we will be walking in for about 8 days to Basecamp.  It's super exciting!

 

Till the next post.
