Dawn breaks over the Dudh Koshi and the trail hums with the scrape of boots and prayer flags rattling like quiet applause. You climb out of Lukla, the valley unfolding into rhododendron-sprinkled slopes and the first hard-edged silhouettes of Thamserku and Kusum Khangkaru. The air thins; the peaks—Everest (8,848 m), Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam—hold their distance like patient hosts.
