Journey back to base camp.
The journey was expectedly tough, being both physically and mentally challenging. I was somehow self-motivated to be at the Low's Peak before sunrise and get self-portraits of myself by mounting my camera "dangerously" on a tripod. (because none of the explorers in my group made it to the peak with me)
Being in a group with 11 other explorers, most only made it to 'Sayat-Sayat' checkpoint, it was really physically challenging even with a strong mindset, one might not be able to make it to the top. I've always repeatedly reminding myself that "the peak is not the finishing point", the amount of distance we've inclined in 2 days, is what we are going to cover back and make it to the base in half a day.
Coming across such a rare opportunity to be able to expedite in Mt. KK is somehow once in a life-time, though I really have the urge of going back and up to peak again...it was quite costly for foreigners, therefore..I've gave this one try and push myself to the peak, to be at the top of the world. That sense of achievement after having the first step in, back to the base camp was the best ever.

Now, I'm proud to announce that I've successfully completed the expedition journey up to Low's peak (4,095m) and also my expedition section for the National Youth Achievement Award (GOLD).
Hooooray!!! Up next, I'd definitely like to visit Nepal for my next expedition.
Have a great week ahead.
Cheers!
