A reprise of our trek to Solo Khumbu, but this time in the onset of the Himalayan winter. Walking from lodge to lodge, carefully maintaining dining room ovens, with Christmas by the feet of the Everest. Returning taking a high route via Cho La and Gokyo. December 2013.

Just two of us on the long trek from Jiri roadhead eastwards crossing parallel ridges to the Dudh Kosi Valley and then up the river to Solo Khumbu — to Gokyo and then almost to the feet of Lhotse and Everest. October 1993.
