Day 13 - Khumjung - Namche - Chumoa (2820m/9252ft) April 17, 2000
|
|
|
 |
View of Khumjung, 12,402ft / 3780m |

A stark example of the massive deforestation in the Khumbu; the reason why we smelled so bad well into the trek....(we avoided showers that were heated by firewood) |
|
|
|
 |
Fantastic view of (1)Everest, (2)Lhotse, (3)Ama Dablam from the Everest View Hotel 12,795ft / 3900m |

Another view from the Everest View Hotel. The town carved into the plateau at the bottom left is Phortse. We descended to Phortse by crossing from the other side of that mountain on the previous day |

Nice view of Kwande on a ridge between Khumjung and Namche |

View of Namche Bazaar from above on a clear day. |

Every town had "The World's Highest Solar Heated Hot Tub" |
|
|
|
 |
While descending
Namche Hill we reflected often on what a bitch of a hill this was
to ascend! ............................... Halfway down it was fun to tell people that they were almost at the top. |

After crossing this bridge this mountain goat was grabbed and dragged away (presumably for dinner) by 2 Nepali soldiers, despite Lisa's protests. |

Our campsite at Chumoa, not far after leaving Sagamartha Park. |
