Dingboche Rest Day 3

Up early at 6am, showered and ready by 6:40am for our heli to EBC. Unfortunately, there was cloud, and I knew we would not be flying out by heli. I had breakfast, usual… fried eggs and pancake with jam/honey. After breakfast, I was told, get your gear we have to go! We hurriedly went down to the helipad, and 10 minutes later a heli came in, but it was going down to Lukla where the weather was clear. There was a heli that tried to get to EBC but turned back due to the weather/cloud cover.

We went to our favourite café, 4410, and had a mixed fruit drink. After about 30 mins, I heard from Dan that the sherpas would not be leaving tonight with our kit, and instead they would delay 1 day.

Dhanu called Karma, and he cancelled the heli. We headed back up to Bright Star Lodge and re-checked in again, back into our same rooms. Our plan would be to get a heli tomorrow morning, and it looked like there would be better weather tomorrow morning too.

I spent the morning doing social media, and generally numbing my brain. I knew I should have brought a book out here. I must be more productive this afternoon.

I went for lunch at Café 4410 and got my nutrients up with a fresh mixed juice.

After lunch I wrote some articles for our Surrey Physio page, and then it was time for dinner. I went around getting some more 5* google reviews for Karma and Bright Star Lodge, and got a fairly early night in preparation for our 6am wake up.
