31st - Namche Bazaar

Today we had an acclimatization day in Namche. This meant that we in the morning left for a 4 hour walk to a nearby top, 400 meters above. It was a short walk which made the path extra steep. The weather was nice and warm, but working ourselves upwards we began getting hit by some chilly winds.

Reaching 3800m we had a great view of Everest and Lhotse (8501m), and even a couple of griffins were seen flying around.

Coming back down we passed by a monastery, and back in town we had lunch before the rest of the day was to our own disposal.
