Three weeks ago, when I landed back in Nepal, life without electricity became the reality I remembered. Though there are three villages that boast wifi, a connection is a rarity. Each time I tried, the electricity went off due to blowing wind, a bad connection or a snow storm. Thus–now that I'm back in Kathmandu, I'll try to slip in a few highlights before the electricity goes off the grid in my little hotel room.
Once I landed in Lukla, on the shortest runway and most dangerous airport in the world, I headed up, up, up with friends, guide Ringee and porter Dorjee. Lukla is an exciting village full of people starting or finishing a trek or climb. All climbing in the Solo Khumbu starts at Lukla with the exception of those who hike in from Jiree for altitude acclimatization.
