Two Days after we met these Yaks in Gokyo we crossed the Cho La Pass with 5400m the highest point of the Gokyo Trek |

Namche Bazar in the Sagarmatha National Park. |
Diary:
Friday, 12 September 1997 Today we walked from Namche Bazar to Dole which is at an altitude of 4048 meters. On our way we crossed a valley so we had to go up and down 500 meters or more. The whole day we've been walking in mist without any view on the surrounding mountains - "Blindflug". Our way led through a Rhododendren-Forest with mosses hanging down the trees so the vegetation reminded me of Gomeras "Nebelwald". The norwegian couple changed their plans so now they are following us on our way to Gokyo. In the evening everybody had a headache and low appetite. We ate our dinner in the kitchen sitting around the open fireplace. By night the fog cleared up so we could see the tremendous mountains around in the enchanting light of the moon. |
