Instead of flying into Lukla, I hiked from Lamasungu, (near Jiri) to Kala Patter. Its about 100 miles. The year was 1981 and there were no Tea Houses; my trekking partner, Sherpa and I stayed with families who lived along the trail. It was winter so the only food available was Dal Bhat (Lentils and Rice). We only ran into 2 or 3 other hikers the whole time. My partner and Sherpa left me when we got to Tengpoche, so I had to finish the trek to Kala Patter alone. I hiked back to Lukla and flew back to Kathmandu. I can't believe the "luxuries" available on the trek these days.

Wow, that must be a great experience to stay with a family. It is a bit more commercialized these days but still an amazing experience!

@@travelwithfawn I didn't really have much interaction with the families we stayed with. We often arrived after dark (unannounced) and fire was the only source of light (and heat). After dinner, the fire soon went out and everyone went to sleep. The homes were made from stacked stone and were very cold seeing how it was winter. The following mornings, we were up early and after breakfast, we hit the trail.

(3) were you carrying water bottle or seeping water bag ? How did you manage water in gorakshep and higher altitude? 4) which month was your trek? Thank you in advance. 🙏
