Day #15 - Everest BaseCamp

 Day #15 - Everest BaseCamp 


Saturday, March 5, 2022


Itinerary - Tyangboche to Namche Bazar

Elevation:   12,664’ to 11,319’


It’s 8:45pm here in Rm# 102 at the Mountain View Hotel in Namche Bazar (Elevation 11,319’). I just left a pretty joyous lounge as everybody is excited about tomorrow being our final trekking day.  It’s been an amazing experience - but I think folks are ready for warmth and a shower. 


Today was a great day.  We set out around 8am from Tyangboche.  We had a pretty steep, aggressive descent for the first 45 minutes. The rest of the day had a number of ups/downs.  It was a peaceful, relaxing hike.  We stopped mid-hike for some hot tea as we looked at another amazing view of Mt. Ama Dablam. 


We arrived into Namche Bazar around 12:30pm.  We sat out on the deck top and ate lunch with a couple beers.  Liam and Korby came in after they completed the Performance Trek.  It was awesome to listen to their stories from the past few days.  


I then walked downtown with Greg to a cafe where a few of our co-trekkers were located.  I used the wi-fi - because the hotel’s is very slow.  Back to the hotel lounge for dinner and conversation.  


I’m making the blog short tonight - we have an 8hr trek ahead of us tomorrow to conclude my Everest BaseCamp trip!!!!


Goodnight from Namche Bazar.
