And just like that the Spring 2026 Mountain Medicine course comes to an end with everyone safely back to where the trek began in Lukla! Time to rest up this afternoon and then weather permitting, it’s an early morning flight back to Kathmandu! Congratulations to our successful new Namaste Adventurers - we hope you enjoyed this life-affirming trek and that you’ll come back to the Himalayas soon!!

It’s hard to believe that we are on our last full day of hiking as we headed to Phakding. The last two days have taken us from the high-altitude alpine terrain back down into the lush rhododendron forests and while it’s been mostly downhill, the steep, descent into the valley definitely put our knees to the test!!

Well rested, we set out for a 7-hour hike day heading from Dingboche. Grabbing lunch in Tengboche, our final stop was Kyangjuma (also spelt Kanjuma), a small village situated at approximately 3,600 meters. A couple of our trekkers were evacuated by helicopter to Kathmandu as a precaution, but we’re pleased to report they are doing well after being thoroughly checked out and monitored for observation.

After 10 days of trekking, today was spent resting, and recuperating. Cocooned in the clouds in Dingboche, we spent much of the day huddled in the cafe drinking copious amounts of coffee and chai! A well-earned rest day indeed.

And the journey down began with a six hour hike from Gorakshep to Dingboche. It was cloudy and foggy all day, but that didn’t stop a small and mighty crew from completing a bonus side quest to climb Kala Patthar. With a summit of approx 5,644m, this is the highest point you can reach in the region without a climbing permit. We also celebrated a couple of birthdays with cake and tika blessings thanks to the great hospitality from our hosts at the hotel.

Congratulations to the crew who made it to Everest Base Camp today! A gorgeous clear walk into camp became a much more challenging hike out as the weather quickly turned from clear blue skies to a snow blizzard! Base camp is full of activity with the more than 400 climbers prepping to head up the mountain now that the Khumbu Ice Fall has finally opened - and we wish them all a safe climb. We made it back to Gorakshep exhausted, exhilarated and ready for an early night.

Brilliantly blue skies today gave us some of the most spectacular mountain scenery as we left Dingboche and hiked for about five hours to Lobuche (4,940m). We stopped for lunch at Thukla (4,620m) one of the highest human settlements in the world (at least during the hiking and climbing season). Everyone is doing well although the impact of the altitude and thinning air is being felt innsome headaches and gastro issues. The safety of our trekkers always comes first so we’ll be monitoring everyone carefully as we hit our highest altitudes over the next couple of days and ensuring that everyone stays well-hydrated and well-rested.

Today was a day of rest in Dingboche. The sun was shining and we took a short acclimatisation hike. While some of the crew got in their high altitude yoga stretches with stunning backdrops, much of the day was spent chilling with coffee and cake back at the hotel! A good night’s sleep is needed to ready us as we head to Lobuche (4,940m) in the morning.

We’re hanging around in Dingboche for a couple of days to acclimatize but that doesn’t mean we aren’t keeping busy! Our doctors put their training into practice in the early hours of the morning as they stepped in to help another trekker at our hotel who was showing signs of altitude sickness. A short (~2 hour) hike to Pheriche (4,371m) made for lunch at the Himalayan Lodge, and an afternoon spent with the doctors at the Pheriche Hospital who specialize in research and treatment for Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) and High Altitude Cerebral Edema. It’s was an amazing opportunity to learn directly from the experts and their experiences of real-life emergencies in the mountains.

Today we pause.

April 25, 2015. An earthquake shook Nepal to its core. In its wake, it claimed more than 9,000 lives, reduced homes and history to rubble and dust, and tested the resilience of one of the world's most extraordinary nations. We remember the panic. The shock. The aftermath.

Our Namaste Adventure family survived relatively unscathed, but so many of our extended family and friends didn't. So join us as we take a moment to send love to every Nepali who lost someone, and to honor everyone who has rebuilt homes, historic monuments, and communities from nothing. We see your strength. We salute your spirit. We know that Nepal is not defined by the moment she fell, but by every moment since.

Eleven years on, we're so proud of our home country. Nepal continues to rebuild, to grow, and most importantly, to welcome the world with open arms and an open heart.

Namaste. 🙏
