Warm Welcome from Namche Bazaar: 3445M

After 7 hard days of trekking for about average 9 hours a day going through mountain passes of 3500M or so I managed to get to Namche. So far the mountain gods have been kind to us, myself and Simon my trekking partner from Montreal. We are two days away from seeing Mount Everest for the first time. The weather has not been that great but in the mornings the snow capped mountain peaks are amazing.

One last challenge will be Cho La (pass) at 5330 meters and Kala Patthar at 4550 meters - the highest point on the trek. So far my body is dealing well with the altitude and we're slowly moving up to acclimatization levels of 4000 - 5000 meters.

All is good at the top of the world.
Cheers,
Robert
