Lunch stop at Tengboche We are now well and truly into our long decent back down to Lukla. Yesterday was tough. Following our morning ascent on KP, we were packed up and starting our descent to Pherishe by 11am (a drop from 5,545 mts to 4,200 mts). The effort of the morning caught up with Anand, who struggled a little on the descent and came in a little late last night. Fortunately a good nights sleep at Pherishe had him trekking stronger today.
Everyone looked and felt better today at the lower altitude, despite a tough 20km covered. All commented on how good they felt to be down lower and out of the bitterly cold climates of higher up. Most were still on a high from yesterday's ascent of KP.
We are now in Namche, and loving it. Flushing toilets, more comfortable climate, good food, wifi etc etc and a few more etc's. It was also good to catch up with Jenny, who has been waiting in Namche for us. Tomorrow, we have another 20km to cover to get down to Lukla.
Thanks for the excellent comments from our previous blog. We have enjoyed reading them.
Update from Lukla tomorrow night.
