Today is a rest day in Namche, but we like to get a little more altitude under our belts so we planned a day hike up to two nearby villages: Khunde and Khumjung. Unfortunately both Charlotte and Paul were a little under the weather, so they decided to put the “rest” in rest day. Amit and Hugo hiked up to Khunde and had coffee at the lodge of an old friend – Ang Nima. It was great to see him and his wife.
When everyone was back in Namche it was time to shop! The are many good gear shops and after much haggling some good bargins can be had. There are also some good cafes to sit in, enjoy the view and have a cup of tea.
Tomorrow we plan to hike to Pangboche, but we will wait until breakfast to see how everyone feels because it is a long day to Pangboche. Watch this space to find out is we hike, or check out Amit’s website that tracks where he is by satellite: http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glld=OaqD84zMU2JODFf7RSDy6ylJlhHs60qTq
