Three Passes Trek - Day 3

Day 3-October 31 - Monjo to Namche Bazaar

Again started just before 6:00am Today's trek was a steep climb for a little over 2 hours. Highlights include: (I) crossing a long, high bridge spanning a deep valley at the bottom of which was a raging river (BhoeKoshi). (ii) Our first view of Chomo Lungma (Everest). (iii) arrival at Namche Bazaar - a beautiful village/ small town nestled into the mountain side like a grand amphitheatre on three sides. We got a room high on the western side with spectacular views of high peaks and morning sun through the window. Lowlight: totally pooped from carrying the backpack uphill. Looking forward to  tomorrows walk minus the baggage.

Afternoon: walked around the village and over to the Sargamatha visitors centre. Great views of valleys and mountains, statue of Tenzing Norgay and aging museum display in need of attention.
