DAY 255 (Friday 13 April 2012)

DAY 5 of Everest Trek – Nepali New Year 2069 – DEBOCHE to DINGBOCHE

Today we set off just around 0800 hours for DINGBOCHE and then sun was out.  On our route we saw some runners, now we know that the EVEREST MARATHON was back in December 2011 and is not due to be held again until 2013 so unless these are really slow runners I think they may have had something to do with Nepali New Year.  There really wasn’t that many runners that passed us and there was only one female, well that I saw anyway.

We stopped for a little bit of at (yep you guessed it) 1000 hours, after lunch it was a steady climb to get to DINGBOCHE

Steady climb to Dingboche

We actually made good timing and got to our accommodation just before 1300 hours, we booked in and basically went to bed for a couple of hours as we were both absolutely chin strapped.

We got to about 4340 meters today.
