Day 8: Dingboche

Hiking time: 4 hours.

Monday the 25th. Day 4 of the trek. What a day! We trekked about 10 miles  and climbed from 12,000 to 14,500 in elevation. 

We woke up to a great view of Everest from our tea house and will be there in 4 days. Reaching base camp will be awesome but I have realized the journey on the trail may be the real treat. Everyday we have numerous, you can’t make this up kind of experiences. 

Every “best” mountain view is topped around the next turn it seems. The trail is shared with other trekkers going up or down,  Nepalese locals, Yak and horses. All of the food and goods are hauled in by one of these three. The people are friendly, food and service are great and pictures don’t do any of it justice. 

Great Day!!!!!
