Piʻi ʻo Island Peak me EBC Trek - 20 mau lā

I kou puka ʻana mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Tribhuvan, e hoʻokipa ko mākou mea hoʻokele iā ʻoe a lawe iā ʻoe i ka hōkele ma Kathmandu. Ma muli o ka manawa āu i hōʻea ai i ke kūlanakauhale, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolimalima i ka lā i koe e hoʻomaha ai i kāu lumi hōkele. A i ʻole, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i nā ala kahiko o ke kūlanakauhale a loaʻa ka ʻike mua o ka nohona Nepalese.

I ke ahiahi, e hui aku ko makou alakai ia oe a haawi aku ia oe i ka wehewehe pokole ana i ka huakai ma mua. A laila, e hoʻokipa mākou iā ʻoe i Nepal me kahi ʻaina awakea ma kahi hale ʻaina Nepali maʻamau.

He lā koʻikoʻi kēia no ka mea e hoʻolauna aku mākou iā ʻoe i nā limahana a me nā lālā e hele pū me ʻoe ma ka piʻi ʻana o ka mokupuni ma o ka huakaʻi EBC. E hoʻolauna pū mākou iā ʻoe i nā lālā o ka hui a hōʻike iā ʻoe i kā mākou papahana huakaʻi.

A laila e hele kā mākou hui e hoʻomākaukau i nā palapala ʻae e pono ai no ka piʻi ʻana i ka piko o ka mokupuni me EBC Trek. A laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolilo i kou manawa kaʻawale e ʻimi ana i ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Kathmandu. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kū ma ka Monkey Temple kaulana , Boudhanath , Pashupatinath Temple , a me Kathmandu Durbar Square.

I ke kakahiaka nui, e kiʻi kā mākou mea hoʻokele iā ʻoe mai kou hōkele a lawe iā ʻoe i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Kathmandu. E holo mākou i kahi mokulele 30-minuke i Lukla e hauʻoli ana i nā hiʻohiʻona kilokilo o Langtang , Gaurishankar , Numbur , a me Everest.

E pae mākou ma ke ala haiki kaulana o ke kahua mokulele ʻo Lukla kahi e aloha mai ai ko mākou mau alakaʻi a me nā mea lawe puka. E ʻai mākou i ka ʻaina awakea ma Lukla a hoʻomaka i kā mākou huakaʻi i Phakding. E iho mākou i ke awāwa ʻo Dudh Koshi.

I ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i ke kauhale ʻo Chaurikharka, e hele mākou i ke ala e hele ai i ka ʻākau a hele i ka wai keʻokeʻo waiu o ka muliwai ʻo Dudh Koshi ma luna o kahi alahaka lāʻau.

E hōʻea mākou i Phakding kahi a mākou e noho ai no ka pō ma kekahi o kona mau hale hoʻokipa.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka hānai, e hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi i Namche Bazaar ma 3440 m. He ʻoluʻolu ke ala i mua, e hele mākou ma waena o nā kauhale Sherpa a hiki i Sagarmatha National Park ma Jorsale.

Ma hope o ka hoʻopau ʻana o nā luna i kā mākou nānā ʻana i nā palapala ʻae, e hahai mākou i ke alahele ʻo Imja Khola River a piʻi i Namche. He ʻāina ʻoluʻolu ke ala akā e piʻi loa ka piʻi ʻana a hiki i ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i Namche Bazaar.

E hoʻomaha mākou i ka pō ma kekahi o nā hale hoʻokipa nani o Namche ma ka ʻūhā o ka mauna ʻo Everest.

Ma hope o ka hoʻolilo ʻana i ka pō mua ma kahi kiʻekiʻe ma mua o 3000 m, e hoʻolilo mākou i ke koena o ka lā e ʻimi ana i ke kauhale ʻo Namche. Hiki iā mākou ke piʻi i luna no 3 mau hola e hiki ai iā Khumjung mai kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke ʻike i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o Thamserku , Everest , Lhotse , Nuptse , a me Ama Dablam.

I ke awakea, hiki iā kākou ke kipa aku i nā haukapila a me nā kula i kūkulu ʻia e Edmund Hilary . A i ʻole hiki iā kākou ke kūʻai a puni ka mākeke paʻahana o Namche a kaʻana like i kekahi kī paʻakai Tibet me nā kamaʻāina.

He 5 a 6 mau hola o ka hele wāwae e kali ana iā mākou i kēia lā, no laila e hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou lā i ke kakahiaka nui. E iho mua mākou i lalo i Phunki Tenga a hele i ke ala ʻo Imja Khola. A laila e hoʻomaha iki mākou no ka ʻaina awakea e hauʻoli ana i nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha o ka mauna ʻo Everest.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina awakea, e piʻi mākou i ke ala piʻi piʻi e hiki ai i Tengboche, i ʻike ʻia ʻo Shangri La o ka Himalayas. Hāʻawi kēia kauhale liʻiliʻi i nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha o Everest , Lhotse , Nuptse , Ama Dablam , Khumbila, Thamserku , a me Kangtega.

Inā loaʻa iā mākou ka manawa a me ka ikaika i koe, hiki iā mākou ke kipa i ka Monastery Buddhist kaulana i ke ahiahi. A laila e hoʻi mākou i ko mākou hale hoʻokipa ma Tengboche e hoʻomaha ai i ka pō.

Ma hope o kaʻaina kakahiaka, e hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi me kahi hola hoʻokahi e iho i kahi moe o Imja Khola. E hele mākou ma waena o nā ululāʻau coniferous a me rhododendron nani a hele hou i ka muliwai Imja.

Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i ka muliwai, e nānā i ka loli ʻana o nā mea kanu mai ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo a i ka lāʻau mauna lahilahi. E hoʻomaha mākou no ka ʻaina awakea ma ke kauhale ʻo Somare a hoʻomau i kā mākou huakaʻi ma nā pāpū o ke kauhale ʻo Orsho. Hiki iā mākou ke nānā i ka nani Ama Dablam a me ka Lhotse kokoke loa mai ʻaneʻi.

E piʻi ana mākou i kahi puʻu liʻiliʻi no kahi o 40 mau minuke, a laila e iho liʻiliʻi mākou a hiki i Pheriche kahi e hoʻomaha ai i ka pō.

I kēia lā e hoʻopau mākou i ke ao a me ka pō ma kahi kiʻekiʻe ma mua o 4000 m e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ko mākou kino i kahi kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ke kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi o Pheriche kahi kūpono no kā mākou pahuhopu. ʻO ke kauhale ka wahi makani ʻoi loa o ke awāwa ʻo Khumbu i hoʻonani ʻia me nā hae kala a me nā huila pule.

Hiki iā kākou ke hoʻohana i kēia lā ma ka piʻi ʻana i Nangkartshang mai kahi mai e hiki ai iā kākou ke ʻike i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o Ama Dablam lāua ʻo Cholatse.

A laila e kipa mākou i ka Himalayan Rescue Association e kū nei ma aneʻi. Hāʻawi ke kikowaena i ka ʻike koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ka maʻi kiʻekiʻe, nā hana pale, a me nā mea e hana ai inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kēia maʻi.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka, e hoʻomau mākou ma ke ala e lawe iā mākou i Dughla kahi e kū ai mākou no ka ʻaina awakea. I ko mākou neʻe ʻana i mua, e hele pū mau ʻia mākou e Cholatse lāua ʻo Taboche , ʻelua mau piko ma luna o 6000 m.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina awakea, e piʻi mākou i ka Thokla Pass e lawe iā mākou ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola. Mai ʻaneʻi, e hele mākou ma ke ala palahalaha no kahi hola a hiki i Lobuche- ka noho kauhale ma lalo o Nuptse.

E hoʻomoe mākou i ka pō ma Lobuche ma lalo o ka hale o Nuptse , Lhotse , a me Lhotse Shar.

He lā paʻakikī loa kēia no kā mākou piʻi ʻana i ka piko o ka mokupuni ma o EBC, ʻoiai e hele mākou no kahi o 8 a 9 mau hola ma o nā piʻi ʻana a me nā iho ʻana. E hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou hele wāwae ma kahi piʻi a ikaika hoʻi, no laila e hōʻoia i kou wāwae paʻa i nā manawa a pau. Ma ke ala, e hele pū mau ʻia mākou e nā puʻu Himalayan o Pumori , ʻo Nuptse.

Ma hope o 2 mau hola, e hōʻea mākou i Gorakshep, kahi lagoon maloʻo maloʻo kahiko a me kahi hoʻomaka no ka piʻi ʻana o Kalapatthar. Ma hope o kahi hoʻomaha ma Gorakshep, e hele mākou i ko mākou ala i ka Everest Base Camp a hiki i 5300 m ma lalo o ka wāwae o ka mauna Everest.

Ma hope o ka hoʻolimalima manawa a me ka leʻaleʻa i ka lewa mālie o kahi hoʻomoana, e hoʻi mākou i Gorakshep, kahi a mākou e hiamoe ai i kēia pō.

ʻO kēia lā kekahi o nā lā koʻikoʻi o ka piʻi ʻana i ka piko o ka Mokupuni me ka huakaʻi EBC, e ala koke mākou ma kahi o ka hola 3 am. E ʻaʻahu mehana mākou a kau i ko mākou mau kukui, a laila e hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi e lanakila ma kahi o 500 m a hiki i Kalapatthar. ʻAʻole paʻakikī ka piʻi ʻana akā e lōʻihi ka manawa no ka mea e lanakila ana mākou i kahi kiʻekiʻe ma mua o 5000 m.

E ʻike mākou i ka hikina o ka lā ma luna o Everest, Lhotse, Nupste, a me ka glacier Khumbu. Ma hope o ka leʻaleʻa i ka piko a me nā manaʻo, e hoʻomaka mākou i ko mākou iho lōʻihi i ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Dingboche, aia ma 4,350m.

e hauʻoli mākou i kahi hoʻomaha maikaʻi loa ma kekahi o kona mau hale hoʻomaha.

Mai Dingboche, e piʻi mākou i ke awāwa ma lalo o ka maka o ka South Face o Lhotse a hiki i Chhukung i 3 mau hola. Ma ʻaneʻi, e aʻo ai mākou e hoʻohana i kekahi mau mea hele wāwae a me ka piʻi ʻana e like me nā crampons a me nā koi hau. E aʻo pū kākou i ka neʻe ʻana ma nā kaula paʻa.

E moe mākou i ka pō ma ka hale moe o kēia kauhale nani.

Ma hope o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa pono ʻana i ka piʻi ʻana, e hoʻomaka mākou i ko mākou lā a hiki i Island Base Camp. E hele mākou i ke one ma ka Imja Khola a hiki i kahi hoʻomoana o Island Peak ma kahi o 3 mau hola. A laila e hoʻonohonoho ko mākou mau alakaʻi a me nā mea lawe i kahi hoʻomoana no ka hiamoe, ka kuke ʻana, a me ka ʻai ʻana.

Ma hope o ka ʻai wela, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopau i ke koena o ka lā e mākaʻikaʻi a puni kahi hoʻomoana. Hiki iā ʻoe ke komo hou i ke aʻo ʻana e hoʻohana i nā lako kumu no ka piʻi kūleʻa ʻana o Island Peak. E noho mākou i ka pō i loko o nā ʻeke hiamoe mahana i loko o ke kahua hoʻomoana.

ʻO kēia lā ka lā i manaʻo nui ʻia a koʻikoʻi loa o kā mākou Mokupuni Piʻi ʻana me ka huakaʻi EBC. E ala mākou ma mua o ka wanaʻao, e ʻaʻahu i ka ʻaʻahu mehana, a me nā kukui ma luna o ko mākou mau poʻo. A laila e hoʻomaka mākou i ko mākou piʻi ʻana i ka piko haʻahaʻa loa o Nepal.

Ma hope o 3 mau hola, hiki mākou i kahi e hilinaʻi ai mākou i nā crampons, nā koʻi hau, nā jumar grips, a me nā kaula paʻa i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e nā alakaʻi. ʻO ka ʻāpana hope he 400 m ka lōʻihi o ka hau hau ma 35 a 45 degere o ka inclination. Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i kēia ʻāpana, aia mākou ma ka piko o ka piko.

ʻO ka puka ʻana mai o ka lā kupaianaha ma luna o nā piko nui o Makalu , Cholatse , Ama Dablam , Lhotse , a me Baruntse e hoʻopūʻiwa hou iā kākou a e hoʻokumu i kahi hoʻomanaʻo nani o ke ola. E hoʻolilo kākou i kekahi manawa ma ʻaneʻi, a laila e iho i lalo i ke kahua hoʻomoana.

E hoʻomaikaʻi mākou i kekahi i kekahi, a e ʻoliʻoli i ka ʻai ʻono pumehana me nā lālā a pau. A laila e hoʻi hou mākou i ko mākou mau kapuaʻi ma ke ala like e hiki ai iā mākou i ke kauhale o Chhukung kahi a mākou e moe ai i ka pō.

ʻO kēia lā kahi lā hou a mākou i hoʻokaʻawale ai no nā hanana i manaʻo ʻole ʻia. Ina aole e hiki ia makou ke pii aku i ka piko o ka Mokupuni e like me ka makou i manao ai no ke ano maikai ole o ka lewa. A i ʻole, inā makemake mākou i kahi lā ʻē aʻe no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana a i ʻole kahi lā hoʻomaha ma hope o ka lanakila ʻana i ka Island Peak.

Ua hiki i ka manawa e hoʻopau ai i kā mākou huakaʻi a hoʻi i ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Kathmandu. Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka nui, e iho hou mākou mai Chhukung a i Dingboche . E kū mākou no ka ʻaina awakea ma ʻaneʻi a hoʻomau hou i kā mākou huakaʻi iho i ke kauhale ʻo Tengbcohe kahi e moe ai mākou i ka pō.

E hoʻomau mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi iho i kēia lā. E hoʻomaka mākou i kā mākou huakaʻi iho i lalo i ke ala like e alakaʻi iā mākou i Monjo, ka puka komo i ka Sagarmatha National Park.

Ua hoʻololi hou ka mea kanu i nā ululāʻau ʻōmaʻomaʻo o nā rhododendrons me nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha o ka Himalaya i uhi ʻia i ka hau. No ke koena o ka pō, e moe mākou ma kekahi o nā hale hoʻokipa o Monjo.

Ma kahi o 4 a 5 mau hola, hiki mākou i Lukla a hoʻopau i kā mākou huakaʻi holoʻokoʻa. E ʻoluʻolu ko mākou iho ʻana a ʻaʻole pono nā paʻakikī ʻenehana e like me ka wā ma mua.

E noa ka ʻauinalā ma Lukla. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi no ka ʻike liʻiliʻi e pili ana i kēia kauhale nani a hauʻoli i kekahi mau hale kūʻai a me nā hale ʻaina, kekahi mau pastries, etc.

E holo mākou i ka lele kakahiaka nui mai Lukla a hiki i Kathmandu e ʻoliʻoli hou i nā hiʻohiʻona like a mākou i hauʻoli ai i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia huakaʻi.

Ma hope o ka pae ʻana i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Kathmandu, e hoʻokuʻu mākou iā ʻoe i kou hōkele ma Kathmandu kahi e hoʻomaha ai i kou lumi ʻoluʻolu. I ke ahiahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele hou i kahi kaʻahele pōkole ma nā alanui Thamel no nā mementos o Nepal e like me Pashmina, Thangka, etc.

Ma hope o ka ʻaina kakahiaka, e hoʻokipa ko mākou alakaʻi huakaʻi iā ʻoe ma kou hōkele a hoʻoneʻe iā ʻoe i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Kathmandu e holo i kou ʻāina. ʻO kahi ʻē aʻe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolōʻihi i kou noho ʻana ma Nepal a komo i kekahi mau huakaʻi huakaʻi kupaianaha ʻē aʻe ma Nepal.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke nīnau i kā mākou alakaʻi huakaʻi no nā manaʻo a i ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa i kā mākou pūnaewele no nā kikoʻī hou aku.
