We went on an expedition to study a plant. We stayed in Phuplu up near Everest and the trekked out to Jiri where I had the most terrifying bus ride of my life back to Kathmandhu. We stayed there about a month..

If I ever get the time I would love to do the trek in from Jiri. As it stands, I flew into Lukla to begin my trek to Gokyo Ri at just under 18,000 feet.
