Everest Base Camp Trail - From the top back to Lukla



We'll all good things must come to an end. The trek was one of the most amazing experience's we had ever done in our lives, We met so many nice people and saw so many amazing things. In total we hiked 77.42 miles climbed 24,839 vert and did a trip that we will never forget. We got from the top all the way back to Lukla in 4 days about half the time it took to climb up, but going down is so much harder on your body, the knee's take most of the abuse. The flight back to Kathmandu was just as crazy as the landing, they hold the brakes get the props going full speed then take off and we are in the air in about 10 seconds just before the runway drops off a cliff. The flight was a short 29 minutes, then back to the busy city of Kathmandu. More to follow on the rest of the trip in a few days.
