Today we woke up at around 4am and watched the sunrise on our last day of this amazing trek. It was so peaceful to trek so early in the morning. There were no other trekkers but us as we descended down towards Lukla. The only thing we saw was the occasional heard of Yaks carrying luggage, food and anything else that could be strapped to them. It was beautiful to watch the mountains change colors as the sun’s rays began shine upon them. As the morning mist slowly began to burn up in the sunlight, we finished this incredible trek by arriving in Lukla. I felt so accomplished as I was walking through the town knowing that I had done it. I had made it to Everest and back. With a big grin on my face, I’m sure the groggy townspeople were a bit perturbed at me walking by and giving them a big “Namaste” as I passed by. I didn’t care, I was ecstatic at my accomplishment and nothing could bring me down. What a great way to end it all.
This trip has been many things for me. It was by far one the hardest things I have done in life and I will never forget the difficulty, and beauty this trek held. I am truly blessed to have had the strength, determination and support from so many that love me to do this trek; and I thank God for that. Thank you all for your encouragement to do this. I know some of my adventures are a bit out there, literally, but knowing that I have all of you behind me through it all is more encouraging than you know.
