• Day 14: Reserve Day
  There is no such guarantee that we can get quite a favorable weather especially on our planned day for the Parchemo summit, so this day is used as a contingency. If weather became exceptionally unfavorable we wisely have to postpone the program of summiting the peak.

• Day 17: Trek Namche to Lukla (2,840m)
  The trail descends steeply downward so we need to walk slowly and under control as our shaky legs continuously battle the rocky terrain. Although we are travelling the same route down, we feel completely different views.
