EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK DAY 6+7: 5400m CHUKHUNG RI VIEWPOINT DINBOCHE

Day 4+5: I battle altitude sickness but make it Tenboche after a steep ascent and then enjoy the views of an amazing viewpoint near Dinboche.
My guide, Lapsang Tamang, had done the trek multiple times as a porter and now many times a guide. He said he has lost count but somewhere over 20 times, he has been trekking to Everest Base Camp. The best thing to do is to contact my guide and arrange to meet him first in Kathmandu so you can chat and decide if you want to go ahead. You will be together for 12 days after all!
You can contact my guide directly here: [e-mail]
Lapsang is an awesome guy and I had too many chai tea hangouts with him before and after the trip. Lapsang and I became friends during the trip and afterward, we went bungee jumping, cooked Dal Bhat at his apartment and visited Swayambunath Temple. I hope you choose to support great local guys like this rather than big money-making companies.

That wasn’t Chukhung Ri. It may have been a viewpoint of Chukhung Ri. Chukhung Ri is above the town of Chukhung. I think I misread or misheard something.
