Gokyo, Day 14,15: Unfortunate Scene at Lukla

Gokyo, Day 14,15: Unfortunate Scene at Lukla

Having to eye-witness this horrific ending of the Summit Air’s aircraft, thinking and rethinking of what could’ve and should’ve been done by everyone involved for the safety of – notoriously listed as – the world’s most dangerous airport, I just hoped that the situation got properly assessed and serious lessons be learned for the safety of the Himalayan travelers, airport staff, crew members, and the locals.

Gokyo, Day 8: Gokyo Lakes and the Quaint Village

Gokyo- Perfectly situated at the glacial lake, overlooking Gokyo Ri mountain right across and Cho Oyu on the right side. Most of the lake was frozen except for a small unfrozen section, where snow ducks were playing. The whole scene actually looked like a painting or a photo just coming out of National Geographic Magazine!
