Trek Everest region in Oct?

[Yak]

Hey everyone!

I suspect there are quite a few of us who wants to trek everest region during the month of Oct. Therefore I would like to start a discussion with anyone who is interested to form a team and trek together.

Basically my idea for the route is to trek along the classic route to EBC/Kala pattar and then cross Cho la to Gokyo and then exit via Renjo la back to Namche via Thame valley. I think this would take approximately 18-20 days. Starting around the 12th Oct.

So far I am undecided whether to do this independently or with a trekking co. I guess doing this independently is more flexible but a good trekking co can also eliminate alot of hassle and planning. I am really open to any suggestions ,comments or plans so pls post them!

I created a simulation route over google earth. I thought it would be handy to get a visualization of the direction and terrain of the projected route.
