Day #13 - Dingboche to Lobuche Pt 2

---

Leaving the memorial stones behind we descend slightly and into the valley that marks the start of the end of the Khumba glacier - a twisting, snaking river of glacial moraine and rocks. In the distance we get great views of the mountain peaks of Lobuche East (6090m) / West (6135) and Pumo Ri (7165m) on the Nepal/Tibet border.

Walking along the Khumba glacier is the beginning of the end of the trek to the foot of Mount Everest and the excitement has started to build now we are here. An hour and a half later and we site Lobuche hidden away to our left and dive in to the lodge for welcome nights sleep. Worryingly, I have no appetite this evening and manage to eat only a small amount of a bowl of soup.
