Made it to Tengboche!

We left Namche Bazaar this morning at 7:30 and traveled up and down the valleys and all the while following a beautiful river that originates from Mount Everest.

It took us about 7 hours and climbing a total of almost 1,000 ft to get to the small village of Tengboche.

As we go higher up into the mountains the villages are a bit more basic in what thy have. This village and all the others further up have electricity bit only from solar power. It is interesting to note that they do have cell phone towers almost the whole way to base camp.

The pictures included show another great view of Everest and some other tall peaks along with a the largest Buddhist monastery in the Everest region and finally a view from a ridge line above the village that gives you an idea of the village's size.

I'm feeling good albeit tired and not having any real negative reactions to the altitude at his time.

Thanks for reading!
