Khumbu – Kongde and Kongde Lake
Our camp site at 4,200m, with Tamserku and Kusum Kanguru looming overhead
Our kitchen - very chilly!
The Khumbu unfolding from Kongde at sunset. From left, Khumbila, Tawoche, Cholatse, the Everest Group, Ama Dablam, Tamserku and Kusum Kanguru - just to name the peaks I know. Two large "luxury lodges" lurk in the right foreground - the only permanent (and very expensive) accomodation at Kongde - hence the need for out tent
Khumbila, Tawoche, Cholatse, the Everest Group, Ama Dablam and Namche Bazaar in the foreground. Khunde and Khumjung can be partly seen beneath Khumbila and Phortse is further off under Cholatse

Climbing above Kongde in search of Kongde Lake. Kwangde looms above
Climbing above Kongde in search of Kongde Lake. Kwangde looms above and the black rock peak to the left is Kongde Peak (4,600m). The far side of this high point is a truly gigantic, sheer cliff dropping hundreds of metres

A site offering views and vertigo
At 4,500m, above Kongde (on the right), looking to Chomolungma
The Khumbu unfolded from near Kongde Lake (4,500m) - spanning Kwangde (left) across to Kusum Kanguru (right)
The Khumbu - one of the most beautiful places on earth
