Tengboche

Tengboche, 3860 metres, -2 celcius, 17 November

-Earlier part of the trek relatively easy but final uphill bit quite tortorous.

-Muha waited more than half an hour for me to catch up with him, but I'd gone up past him without either of us seeing each other!

-Stunning views of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam in the late afternoon sun.

-One of the most dramatic locations of our trek with clouds and mists covering and revealing stunning mountain views within minutes.

-We slept in tents because all the rooms were taken by trekkers.

-We left some of our stuff in Tengboche to be picked up on our way down, because 10+kg at these altitudes was just too much.
