Today we
left Namch Bazaar to continue on towards Tengboche. With the acclimatization
yesterday we would have an advantage that we hadn’t had the previous days.
We
started walking towards the hilltop we climbed yesterday, but instead of
ascending we started circling it instead and slowly but steady distanced us
from NB. This brought us along a path that followed the mountains at a
relatively even level.
At one
point we had a tea break where we met a group of 13 Norwegians. They were on
their way to climb Island Peak, so while their final goal was different from
ours, we would some of the way have a similar approach.
After
the break we descended 200 meters before having lunch, after which we ascended 600
meters, finally bringing us to Tengboche and the same altitude as yesterday.
Nice
small place with good food – in that sense no different from the other places
we have been.
There wasn't much space to maneuver on when a pack of fully-loaded yaks came walking.
At Tengboche.
