Nepal 2001 Everest Gokyo Trek 8: Machhermo - First Lake Machhermo (right side). View back... ... and the view of the way to go (near Panka). Cho Oyu (8153m) is most of the time in your sight. Close to the bridge near the first lake. The beautiful first lake. Unbelievable, but true: Himalayan ducks live on the lakes in an altitude of 4800m!
