Our team of 23 adds 6 Sherpas and 12 porters. The Sherpas are our guides while the porters carry over gear. They carry two or three bags that each weight 25-35 pounds. Often they hike in flip-flops and use a strap that wraps around their head to carry the heavy load. At the end of day one we hiked about five miles and ended up at the beautiful Mt. Resort. A couple of the team members finished the day with a short yet steep hike up to a monastery.
