ABOUT THE IMAGE:
During Jim Block’s 2009 Khumbu Trek he recounts, “On our first attempt to make it to Kala Patthar – we failed due to intestinal problems that struck most of us – we stopped at this Mong La Mountain Restaurant. The peak in the center is the beautiful Thamserku (21,729 ft). To its left is Kangtega (22,251 ft), “The Snow Saddle”. From near this spot we could see our destination for the night, the village of Phortse, about ½ mile away – as the crow flies. Unfortunately, there was a river in the way, and what seemed like a 2,000 ft climb down and up before we reached Phortse.”
