Exploring Russia’s Golden Ring

Just like Iceland's Golden Circle or India's Golden Triangle, Russia's Golden Ring shouldn't be missed.

Everest Base Camp is insane in April! There are hundreds of tents ready to house the expedition crews waiting to summit Everest. Take a stroll through, and maybe you'll be invited for tea and cookies like we were! 🇳🇵
Prayer flags and peaks pt. 3... The view from Kala Patthar (5648m). 🇳🇵
Woke up to blue skies, so we hiked to the last village of Gorak Shep and left our bags behind, ready for the tough climb to the peak of Kala Patthar (5648m). • Even though it was steep as hell and I was struggling to breath I made it up in an hour and a half, and it was worth every step! • A perfect view of the valley and peaks around us, and the best view of Everest (the one above my head, 8848m) you're likely to get without climbing it! The taller one to the right is actually the much smaller Nuptse (7861m). You can even see the yellow tents of base camp to the left. • This was definitely the highlight of the trip (even more so than Base Camp), so make sure you add it to your itinerary. 🇳🇵
Misty mountains and foggy reflections in Lobuche, the day before we summit Kala Patthar... Keeping our fingers crossed for sunshine in the morning! 🇳🇵
We got incredible views of Taboche (6495m) and Cholatse (6440m) from many different angles as we hiked from Pangboche to Dingboche, up towards Lobuche, and down to Dzongla. Tiny in comparison to the giants around Everest! 🇳🇵
Prayer flags and peaks pt. 2... The view from the memorials for alpinists and mountaineers that lost their lives climbing Everest. 🇳🇵
