HIGHER and HIGHER

Fifth day of the Everest Base Camp Trekking. Today it was an other day of trekking. We left Tengboche (3,900 meters) and after 4 hours trekking we got to Dingboche (4,400 meters). An other couple of days of trekking and we will be at the Everest Base Camp. We don't have yet any altitude sickness symptoms. And this is really good. When I left for this trekking this was my major concern, and so far, no problem. So we had a good time and we enjoyed the beatiful scenery of the Himalaya mountains, even if the sky was a little bit cloudy. This is the sky in the morning ...
... and these are some of the pictures that I took along the trail. The villages are becoming more and more scarse. But the mountains are getting closer and closer every day we hike. And it is amazing when you think that you are trekking at those altitudes ...
