Day 20

The Great Himalaya Trail team is heading downwards to the Arun river in Khandbari before climbing again towards Khumbu. The four member team led by 21-time Mt Everest summitteer is on an epic 1,600km 120 day traverse of the Nepal Himalaya. On the 19th day of the trek on Wednesday, there was a chirpy status update from Linda Bezemer, a trekker who seems to have tagged along with the team, saying: "Impressive to walk with Apa Sherpa.I'm very proud I can catch up!" seems to be a sign that everything is going well for the celebrity trekkers.

Pictures of Apa Sherpa with a Nepali flag in view of the Kangla Pass (pictured) and breaking a trail through the snow with Tenzing Dorje were posted in Facebook as the team heads away from the most eastern point of their trek.
