The day started with a with a 4 hour wait to catch a flight from Kahmandu to Lukla, because Kathmandu was covered in fog until 9 AM. We had lunch in Lukla, setup our porters and departed for Phakding at 12:15 PM. At about 2 we were in Phakding and decided to push on to Namche, but we had to wait an hour for the porters, so that we could get stuff for overnight. My pack got much heavier with the excess gear, but I move relatively quickly. I wonder if I can ride my mountain bike up Namche hill?
Several people in Kathmandu and Namche recognized me from year - how about that? Makes me feel like an old Everest veteran. I'm feeling great! Cheers, Rohan. |
