10 day trek - drinking litres of water, eating garlic soup and spicing up things with TIMBUR. No altitude sickness problems for me (4130 m). You da man!
Epic air pollution in the valleys but fresh air up high. Clouds start to form at 12:30 local time and by 2 in the afternoon everything is clouded out above 3500 m.
The most amazing thing I saw (besides the Yeti) was an R44 landing (and taking off) at ABC! I didn't know they live at 13,500' lol
Thanks again. Safe flights!
Most welcome....happy You enjoyed! Yep there are folks (Sherpas) living as high as 18,000'
