Everest and Lhotse from Gokyo Ri

Had been 4.5 years since landing back on aussie soil after our 6 months of travel around europe in a kombi. Inspired by others blogs and with the travel bug biting us hard once again we decided it was about time to start planning another vagabonding experience. The last 4.5 years had been jam packed with buying a house and solidifying our positions on the corporate ladder. But with the biological clock ticking and with us both just turning the big three-0, the road is calling once again! We have just set out for 12 months on the road from March 2nd 2014.

Well done guys!
Incredible shot! Congrats guys on reaching Gokyo Ri! I was really excited to see fellow bloggers trekking through EBC route as it just brought back some memories from last year. You definitely chose a more ambitious path making it all the way to Gokyo. I missed it unfortunately... Well... Maybe next time! And don't worry about not reaching EBC. Not much you can do when you get sick and it's definitely better to be safe than sorry, especially at this altitude. Looking forward to your next blogs! Happy travels!
