Three Passes Trek Day 19

Three Passes Trek Day 19 - 16 November- Dagnag to Gokyo Just a 2 hour walk this morning from Dagnag to Gokyo across the glacial moraine. Checked in at Fitzroy hotel which has 5 star facilities by trekking standards, including attached bathroom with 'hot shower' (warm trickle of water if you squat down low enough for the hose to work, but nevertheless does the job). It also has a warm dining room and attached cafe with genuine barista coffee, apple pie and other such luxuries. Gokyo is quite picturesque, on the edge of a lake amd sorrounded by tall mountains, plus yaks, etc. This is the first stop for some time that is an actual functioning village although trekking is still the main source of income. It is also a trekking destination in itself, and lots of trekking groups do the Gokyo trek up the central river valley from Namche Bazaar then head back down without necessarily doing any of the passes, but it's also an alternative route to EBC via the Cho La pass.
