Today we travelled to Tengboche, the home of one of the most important Buddhist Monastery’s in the trek to Everest. People who are climbing Everest always visit this Monastery to with offerings to the God’s of the mountains asking for safe passageway to the top.
Our day consisted of steep descents and climbs finishing with a long steep climb to reach Tengboche. We were rewarded with our rooms having views of Mt Everest.
After a few hours rest we went for a short walk up to 4000m to help us acclimatise. We were pretty stoked as when we reached 4000m we finally got to say we were on a mountain! (Up until 4000m, in Nepal, it is just a hill!).
Altitude: 3800m to 3780m to 4004m to 3780m.
