I ke kakahiaka nui, lele mākou mai Kathmandu a i Lukla ma o ka lele mauna he 40 mau minuke. Me ka manawa mālie, loaʻa iā mākou nā hiʻohiʻona nani o nā mauna, me Everest, i ko mākou komo ʻana i ke awāwa hohonu o ke awāwa ʻo Dudh Kosi.

Hoʻomaka ʻoe i kāu huakaʻi Renjo la pass mai Lukla, ma hope o ka piʻi mālie ʻana i ka mauna ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ka muliwai ʻo Dudh Koshi. E ʻike ʻoe i ka mauna ʻo Nupla (5885m), Kusum Kanguru (6367m), a me ka mauna ʻo Kwongde Range.

A laila hele mākou i kahi huakaʻi leʻaleʻa no ʻelua hola i ke kauhale ʻo Phakding. Eia naʻe, inā makemake ʻoe i nā hana hou aʻe, hiki iā mākou ke hana i kahi huakaʻi ʻaoʻao i kahi monastery kokoke.

Mai Phakding, hele ka huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻo Renjo la Pass i ke awāwa ʻo Dudh Koshi ma ka ʻākau, e hele ana ma waena o nā pine, e hele ʻelua ma nā alahaka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i ke kauhale o Monjo, ka puka komo o ka Sagarmatha National Park.

E hoʻomaka ana me kahi piʻi liʻiliʻi i Jhorsalle, hele ke ala i nā wailele a me nā mea moʻomeheu a kūlohelohe maoli. Hoʻopili ʻia nā kauhale me nā ululāʻau nani o Rhododendron, Magnolia, a me ke ahi.

ʻO kahi piʻi kiʻekiʻe i ke kūlanakauhale nani o Namche Bazaar (3440m) e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i nā hiʻohiʻona nani a me kahi wahi ʻoluʻolu e noho ai i ka lua o ka pō o ka huakaʻi.

E hoʻokipa i kou kino i ke kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o Namche, ʻoiai ua loaʻa iā ʻoe ke kiʻekiʻe i ka lā ma mua. Hoʻonoho ʻia i loko o kahi hale hōʻikeʻike maoli e nānā ana ma ke kua o Kongdi RI (6187m), ʻo Namche Bazaar kekahi o nā wahi hoʻokipa maikaʻi loa ma ka ʻāina ʻo Khumbu.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke holo ma kahi kokoke e hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi no ka huakaʻi Renjo la Pass. Loaʻa iā ʻoe nā lā leʻaleʻa piha no kahi hiʻohiʻona nani a i ʻole ka hele wāwae a puni ka mākeke. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Nuptse, Lhotse, Tawche, Kwangde, etc.

ʻO ka huakaʻi acclimatization hoihoi loa, ʻo Namche, e lawe iā ʻoe ma ka Bhote Koshi a hiki i Thame. Komo ke alahele i loko o ka ululāʻau nani o nā paina a me nā rhododendrons. E hele i ka Stupa kahiko i uhi ʻia ma Phurte a hahai i ke ala i Tesho.

E ʻōwili ʻoe i Thamo a me Thamo Gompa i kā mākou huakaʻi Renjo la Pass. I ka pau ʻana o ka spur, hāʻule ke alahele i ka hale hana hydroelectric Khumbu a laila huli i ka Thame no kahi noho pō.

Aia ʻo Thame i ka hopena o ke awāwa ʻo Khumbu, a ʻo ka waiwai nui o Thame kona ʻāina, ka poʻe i hoʻopā ʻole ʻia e nā hopena o ka moʻomeheu hou.

ʻO ka piʻi ʻana i ke ala i Tarngga, he ala hele mālie ia mai Thame. E hele ʻoe i ka mauling (4200m) ma ke kapa hikina o Bhote Koshi.

ʻO ka iho hope loa i Lungden ma hope o ke awāwa haiki i paʻa me nā pōhaku nunui. I loko o ka Ren jo la pass trek, hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i nā ʻano mea kanu a me nā holoholona me kahi moʻomeheu Sherpa kū hoʻokahi.

I ko mākou huakaʻi ʻo Renjo la Pass i kēia lā, Ma hope o ke kaʻe ʻana, e iho ʻoe i Renjo la Pass, kahi e kali ai kahi hiʻohiʻona maka - ke hele ʻana i kahi alahaka hao ma luna o kahi kahawai, ʻoi aku ka pae o ke ala ma hope o ke awāwa ma mua o ka loko mua, i kapa ʻia ʻo Longpongo ma 4690m, kahi e loaʻa ai iā mākou ka manawa e nānā ai i nā kapuaʻi Lama ma luna o ka pōhaku.

ʻO ka lua o ka loko, ʻo Taboche Tsho, e hoʻohauʻoli iā mākou me ka wai ʻālohilohi turquoise uliuli o ka wai ʻālohilohi i ka lā. Hiki mākou i ke kolu o ka loko, ʻo Dudh Pokhari, i hoʻopili ʻia me ka wai ma mua e kahi kahawai kahe.

Aia ke kauhale ʻo Gokyo ma ke kolu o ka loko a me ka mauna ʻo Cho-Oyu. Ma luna, hāʻawi ka loko i nā hiʻohiʻona panoramic o Cho Oyu, Gyachung Kang, Lhotse, Makalu, Cholatse, a me Tawache.

E hoʻolālā i kahi lā ma Gokyo, e holoholo ana a puni nā loko a me ka hele wāwae ʻana i kekahi mau ʻike mauna kokoke. E hoʻomaka i kāu huakaʻi i ke kakahiaka a hiki i kahi piʻi kiʻekiʻe ma kahi o 30 mau minuke a hiki i luna me kāna mau hae pule maʻamau.

E nānā i ka Ngozumpa Glacier, ka glacier nui loa ma Nepal. ʻAʻole mākou e poina i ka manawa e nānā ai i ka loko ʻehā (Thonak Tsho) a me ka loko ʻelima (Ngozuma Tsho).

Mai kahi e ʻike nani ai ʻoe i nā piko kiʻekiʻe loa, mai ke komohana a hiki i ka hikina, ʻo Cho ʻoe (8,153m), Gyachung Kang (7,922m), Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8,501m), a ma ke ala ʻē aʻe ʻo Makalu.

Hele mākou i ke kakahiaka nui i Gokyo Ri, kahi e ʻike ai i ka panorama nani o Mt. Everest (8848m), Nuptse (7861m), Makalu (8481m), Lhotse (8516m), Cho Oyu (8201m), Pumori (7161m), Ama Dablam (6856m), a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.

Piʻi mākou ma nā ala kiʻekiʻe a hele ma ke kahawai ʻo Dudh Koshi ma nā morines o Ngozumpa Glacier a hiki i Machhermo.

Mai Machhermo, hele ʻo Renjo la pass trek no ʻelua mau hola a hiki i Dole. ʻO ka pō ma kahi hale moe ma Dole.

I kēia lā, aia ka Renjo la pass trek ma nā ala pōhaku; hele mākou i nā ululāʻau paʻa o nā rhododendron a hiki i Phortse Thanga. Hele mākou i Mongla a iho i Kyangjuma.

Ma hope o nā ala pōhaku, ua hala mākou i kekahi mau monasteries a hele mākou ma nā ʻanuʻu pōhaku ma nā paia o Mani ma ko mākou ala i Namche Bazaar. ʻO ka pō ma kahi hale hoʻokipa ma Namche Bazaar.

I ka lā hope loa o kā mākou huakaʻi hele Renjo la Pass, hele mākou i kekahi mau alahaka hoʻomaha ma luna o ka muliwai Bhote Koshi a hiki i Lukla.

Haʻalele mākou i ka Sagarmatha National Park ma Jorsalle a hele i nā kauhale o Monjo a me Bengkar e hōʻea i Phakding. Mai Phakding, hele mākou i kekahi mau kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi, pena ʻia nā paia Mani, a me nā huila pule a hiki i Lukla. ʻO ka pō ma kahi hale hoʻokipa ma Lukla.

I ko mākou lā hope loa o ka huakaʻi Renjo la Pass, ua hauʻoli mākou i ka panorama o ka Himalayas no ka manawa hope loa i kā mākou lele hoʻi i ke kapikala mai Lukla.

Ma hope o ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i Kathmandu, e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka lā iā ʻoe iho. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i nā mea hoʻomanaʻo a i ʻole e ʻono maikaʻi i nā mea ʻono kūloko.

(E hoʻomaopopo: i ka manawa kau, nā mokulele mai Lukla a Ramechhap a holo 4 mau hola i Kathmandu)
