Everest Base Camp : Day 10 - Pangboche to Monjo

I had a chat with the lodge owner over breakfast. She first asked me where I came from. Upon hearing Malaysia, she was so excited cos she’s been to the country before. She went on telling me that during low season, she would go travel and also visit her son who’s studying in Melbourne. Wow.. this teahouse business is really good.

I’m so gonna miss this view

Passing by hikers on their way up, I understood their miserable tired face. I had been in the exact same situation, stopping at every turn on my way up before. Later on, I met Ali. What a surprise! I haven’t seen him and his clients since Phakding.

Then it’s time to go up again to Namche Bazaar. We stopped for lunch at Kyangjuma (3,600 metres), and reached Namche at 3pm.

We are now 1,725 metres lower than the day before, and my lungs were happily filled with oxygen again. Namche is the same like a week ago. The streets were busy and there were a lot of trekkers, and all the shops were open. And it was warm. I bought souvenirs and changed my emergency USD cash to pay Dinesh when we arrive in Lukla and finish this trek.

Half an hour later, we continued trekking. Another steep descend coming. When we were on the high suspension bridge, I had another nostalgic moments. This adventure is really coming to an end. I’m gonna miss all these suspension bridges. As much as I wanted to finish this trek, I love it here. And I love all these bridges however scary they are.
