Starting
to walk from Pheriche towards Tukla, one finds himself surrounded by huge
snowy mountains, most of which haven't even got a name. It is early morning
(8 am) and the moon is setting.

Until it is almost gone.
Looking back on the valley on a sunny fall day. From afar, Pheriche is
barely visible.
Same valley from farther yo.
Looking forward on the northern end of the valley and what has to be climbed
to reach Tukla.
A helicopter, probably brining equipment to the climbers at Everest base
camp.
After a short walk the two houses of Tukla are seen. For
anyone who suffered along the way from AMS I recommend
stopping at Tukla for a night of Acclimatization. As it is a 700m climb
from Pheriche (4200m) to Lobuche (4700m). (See
my tips page.)
