Back to Namche Bazar again

This morning we had again beautiful weather as we had it on the entire trip. Fellow hikers told me that on former trips that had been entirely different at times. Looking back where we came from there was a stunning view into the valley. I took my long lense to get a last close shot of Mt. Everest. Also the monastery was nicely lit in the morning sun.

On our way down we passed some of those water-driven prayer mills – very convenient.

Also I came across one other example of what material is transportet by porters up to the mountains. Steel parts which are used for construction.

Here’s how my shoes look during the whole trip. A nice mixture of dust and yak dung 😉

You also need be careful which way you walk when you come across stupas and mani stones. Sometimes a stone looks ordinary from one side but has mani writings all over on the other side. Why is this important? Because you need to take care of your karma of course. Allways walk left (clock-wise), even if there is a construction going on…

When we finally aproached Namche we had a nice view on the valley we need to pass down to Lukla. You can also see those suspension bridges.

In the evening we got a wonderful presentation of Sherpa dance:
