Amogh in Nepal

In the summer of 2025 Amogh N P went to Nepal with his family to walk towards Everest. Two days in Kathmandu among its stupas, temples and old brick lanes; then the flight to Lukla and the trail up the Dudh Koshi — suspension bridges, pine forest and the Sagarmatha National Park gate — to Namche Bazaar and the Everest View terrace, and on 1 June, Everest Base Camp itself, where a helicopter picked the family up for the flight back over the Khumbu.
