In reply to Deepak Khanal. I meant that with budget group tours you don't have the flexibility to take the acclimatisation day -- of course with a private guide (we went with a porter-guide) you have flexibility.

I am fully agree with Zac’s article, it is very informative.Thank you for great post and keep it up ahead. One thing i am agree with him that with company or with privet guide you will not have flexible to take extra acclimatization day in any place is not true.As guide i have been this trek many time and we always give our client choice,our client comfort and safety….many more.thank you for good article again.

In reply to Elaine Pike. Do! I'd imagine it's been obliterated by now, but if it's still there, I'd love a picture.

In reply to Elaine Pike. That was pretty much what I did, but I got way behind, because there wasn't always electricity enough to charge a device, let alone internet. If I weren't a blogger with a "duty" to post fairly regularly, I would go with journal and paper, which is a lot more atmospheric, and what most people other than me were doing.

Do you create your posts, then save and publish when there are internet connections? I am torn between bringing a device such as an iPad (which I don’t own) or simply brandishing pen and journal to compile entries at a later date. One option is convenient. One option is lightweight and doesn’t need to be charged up, but may lose something in the translation. Decisions, decisions. . .

In reply to Carly.

Thanks, Carly! I really do recommend the Gokyo route, or even the Three Passes if you have time — particularly given you’ve done Kili so you’re clearly historically OK with altitude…

Great post, can’t wait to get there in October! I’ve recommended your site to the charity i’m going with so they can all read about your time there. Whilst i’m sure it’ll be slightly different, the feeling will be the same 🙂
