	Day 30: Ngozumpa glacier moraine From Dragnag to Gokyo we needed to make our way cross the Ngozumpa moraine. Covered in clouds was Cho Oyu.

	Day 30: Toboche Tsho Toboche Tsho is the 2nd of the 5 Gokyo lakes.

	Day 30: Goyko resort (4790m) This is the dinning hall of Gokyo resort. The place is not exactly a resort as there are no recreation facilities, but it is the best and most expensive lodge we stayed in for our entire trip. They have hot shower (200 rupees equivalent to SGD5) and battery recharging service here.
