After a good flight into Lukla, the IMG Everest team headed out onto the trail to our first campsite on the trek into Base Camp, a nice spot known as Phakding. It is an easy first-day hike and gets things off on a good note. We are ahead of the pack and can enjoy the trekking sites before they get more heavily visited in the next few weeks. [More at IMG]
