Hello everyone. I am back with another blog post for you today about what is quite possibly our last day on a mountain for a while. Yes, you heard me correctly, this might be our last day on a mountain for a few months if our schedule to get off Everest and then tour the world goes according to plan. Today, we climbed from Namche directly to Lukla airport, where we would fly to Kathmandu the next day if things go according to plan. This is our final trek before heading off to Cambodia and seeing the world more, which to me is very exciting and will be a humongous upgrade from trekking all the time, even though trekking is kind of fun. I personally prefer to just rest in one place for a while instead of constantly moving everywhere. But yeah, I am pretty sure this was our last big climb on this whole year trip. So anyways, we started our day off by waking up in the Hotel Holiday Namche prayer room, where we slept last night. Pretty weird to sleep in a prayer room for a night, but it fulfilled our needs for a nice, comfortable room that was actually really fancy. We got dressed and did our things fast, but everyone else also had the same ideas as us, so it was a whirlwind of chaos getting ready for breakfast but when we finally got down, Ganesh was waiting for us. He found his phone that was apparently STOLEN the day before and spent the entire night hiking back to Namche! I felt very sorry for him, but he made it back safe and sound with his phone and a few hours of rest, so he was all good. We then started what I considered to be the easiest descent down the mountain for the last time. We went mainly downhill for the vast majority of the walk and it was quite easy actually. No really hard points or turns, plus seeing everyone go to the base camp with happy smiles and clean clothes was hilarious because I knew what they had coming for them😆😆😆😆😆😹!!! Also, seeing where we had so much difficulty on the way up and going down that was very satisfying and halfway there, we stopped and had pastries for breakfast. We then continued our journey for a long time before reaching a very familiar sarcophagus that was a landmark to me when we had just started the trek. I was so excited and ran up the hill to find the glorious gate of Lukla, the finish line of our trek. I passed it first and in my head, I felt amazing😆😂😘😜🙅🙅🙅💪💖💖✊✊✊✊👌!!!!!!! Finally finishing the entire trek felt awesome and after that, we had lunch and took a small break at our hotel. We had a nice pizza for dinner hours later and one of our porters, Bhanu, gave a really nice speech to us that was very good and made me happy. I just can’t believe that it is all over and I’m so excited to go to Kathmandu.
