First of all of it is an amazing photo @AdamGT How many days you needed to take preparation to go to the Kala Patthar (Black Stone)? Please show us some photos of Kala Patthar one day. Thanks for sharing this nice post.

Thank you for your appreciation @MukulR and given that this photo was taken with a pocket camera, I have to agree with you that this is an amazing photo. After a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the world's most dangerous airport, it took me 2 weeks to get to Kala Patthar trekking from Lukla and allowing for acclimatization stops along the way. Then from the small village of Gorakshep at an elevation of 5,164 metres (16,942 ft) and located near Mt Everest, it took approximately 2 hours to summit Kala Patthar.

Lukla is one of the most dangerous airports in the world. I have seen several videos of that airport on the youtube. Trekking for two weeks is really huge and I am very happy that you succeded @AdamGT . Did you go to Kala Patthar only to take this photo or did you have any other mission? Thanks a lot for the nice explanation.

Hello again @MukulR
Lukla is not one of the most dangerous airports in the world, it is the most dangerous airport and having flown both in and out of Lukla, I say this based on personal experience. I will one day post about Lukla with photos and you will see what I mean! I've trekked a lot longer than 2 weeks @MukulR but trekking for 2 weeks from an altitude of approximately 2,800 m at Lukla to the high himalayas at altitudes of 5,600+ m can be very difficult and dangerous for many people. As I mentioned in my previous reply, in the 2 weeks from Lukla I stopped to acclimatize and on this you might like to read my earlier post about the beautiful Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar: The gateway to the high Himalayas. Regarding your other question, no I didn't go to Kala Patthar only to take my Everest photo. I spent approximately 3 months and trekked approximately 600 kms in the Himalayas and I have many amazing stories and photos to share....if I only had time! I've given some sneak peaks of some of these future stories in various previous posts. See for example one of the photos and several comments in the post Let's make it a BIG chess day!
