Gokyo, Day 4: `Resting’ in the Himalaya

Gokyo, Day 4: `Resting’ in the Himalaya

The Best Left Turn- Gokyo Valley, Day 1

The best left turn- 
About two hours from Namche Bazaar in the Himalayas, there is trail junction, where most trekkers make a right turn- to get to the foot of the Everest.

I plan on making this left turn in spring 2019, to travel off the beaten trek. Another Himalayan Adventure awaits.
