This was a hard day and our guide did not exaggerate when he spoke about a steep climb!
The initial trek was good and relatively easy, considering that we are here to get to base camp!! Some smaller and rather short up and downs got us going and the scenery was absolutely amazing!
The steep uphill lasted for over 2 1/2 pushing everyone hard. What made it even more challenging was that the weather had changed for the worse and we trekked most of the way on the rain!
The best sight on the end was nearly at top, when we took a right turn and suddenly saw some houses of Namche, our final destination, just across the hill. Our mood changes instantly! Only a few more meters and arrives at the outskirts of Namche - finally, we could have a rest and wait for the remaining group to arrive. Not too long and we walked through the town gates. A beautiful little settlement surrounded by snow covered mountain peaks in an amphitheater kind of a setting. A further 5 mins to our accommodation and we were able to relax! Some hot drinks and stories to share with group 1....a wonderful evening in the making...
Torrid will be awesome again, with an early rise and trek to a near ridge, another 500m further In altitude, where we may spot Everest, Numptse and Lothse for the first time....what a wonderful thought before bedtime....
Love you all! xxx
