After a 40 minutes flight to Lukla we began the acclimatization process by hiking in the Khumbu valley. Lukla's airport consists of a short landing strip which makes for an abrupt stop when landing. The town is located at 2850m. Today we made it to the village of Phakding. We will continue the trekking and conditioning for the next few days and then fly back to Kathmandu to begin our journey through the North side.
