They had fun and high altitude experience. They majestic views of the Mega Mountains in the Everest region no doubt encouraged them to ascend to more height.

The traditional Sherpa villages and the hospitality of the inhabitants overwhelmed them. Sometimes, they camped for the night and other times they enjoyed the comforts of the high altitude lodges. They took time to acclimatize in high altitudes. They visited hospital at Khumjung and the monastery at Pangboche on the way.
