Sat 29th Feb - What they "should" be up to today

29/2/2020

An update from Sue......assuming today has gone as planned.

Yesterday they would have arrived in the Village of Dingboche at 4400 metres.  Given I haven't heard anything from David we will assume no WIFI or service provider.....It is the Himalayas and it's still classed of "off season".  David was told there may not be any communication for the next couple of days.

Today they would have done an acclimatisation walk up to the village of Chukhung (around 4730 metres).  It's a gradual incline but at this altitude it's by no means easy.   Hopefully they still have blue skies and some warmth in the days rays.  They would normally get back to Dingboche early afternoon and spend the rest of the day either resting in a sunny window or sitting around the dining room lodge playing cards, drinking hot chocolates or chatting to other trekkers that may be at the same lodge etc.  There's also a chance that some may not be feeling well after being up at a higher altitude with slight headaches and may even chose to lay down and rest until dinner....again very common at this altitude.  With no WIFI, it's back to basics which sometimes isn't a bad thing.

They will spend tonight again at Dingboche and tomorrow should reach Lobuche at 4900 metres.  Todays walk up to Chukhung will help their bodies adjust to tomorrows altitude.  I have put a photo up from my album of last year showing the village of Dingboche .

The good part of staying at Dingboche is that it is flat. The climb to Chukhung is not a steep altitude gain with great views. David has a favourite eating place at Dingboche, the only downside he’s not good at estimating distances.
