Is there any one out there who has been or knows the route from Chhukung to Namche Bazar then to Lukla and could tell me if there is one particular area/route/track that is the more dangerous? This would include high passes or narrow tracks etc. and if there is such an area how likely would it be that a lone injured person would be found? This would have occurred some time after the 8th March 04
Any information, help or advice about the above, whether good or bad news would be greatly appreciated by our family.

From Namche to Lukla is a day trip if one is acclimitsed. Chhukung to Namche is longer and a bit more rough. There are possibilities of all kinds of dangers on any trek, altitude being the greatest risk in that region. If your son is missing, I strongly suggest contacting authorities in Kathmandu to try to locate him and possibly get search and rescue out there ASAP.
