Day 8 of Trek
April 9, Namche – Tengboche (12,670 ft.)
The trail descends to the Dudh Kosi River with spectacular views of the peaks of Ama Dablam and Kantega as well as the more distant Everest and Lhotse. We cross the river at the village of Phunki Thanga, with its giant prayer wheels and then groves of rhododendron, to the storied Tengboche Monastery with head-on views of the Everest massif. We camp near the monastery.
I’m thinkin’, “Spectacular!” I bet you are thinking I should take some pictures here…
