Back to Namche

The promised land!

After much bargaining…we convinced our lead sherpa to adjust our route so we could spend an additional day in namche. Namche has free power, wifi, and lots of shops and bakeries to explore (we've been sEarching out the best cinnamon roll on the ebc trek - which I've renamed the tour de cinnamon roll)

Our hike into town was almost non existent so we had tons of free time! Most of our group chose to use this time to shower as we haven’t had one in about two weeks. 😅 i’m holding off as we have two more days of hiking, and putting my dirty clothes back on my clean body sounds absolutely terrible.

After everyone felt clean we hit up the highest live music bar in the world, the hungry yak! we made sure to send it with the locals the best we could before our dinner “curfew” and headed back to our teahouse.

Tomorrow we go back to Phakding, which was our first stop ever when we started our trek.
