Back to Kathmandu

Freshly armed with ponchos and "The North Face" rainproof gear, we set of from Namche Bazaar in the direction of Lukla, where we could catch a flight back to Kathmandu.

It only rained for half a day of our two day return. Damn again.

On the plus side, more beautiful sights awaited us, we were able to visit our friend Nima at The Beyul Hermitage and Farm one last time, and we watched our porter (the man who carried our heavy bags on the trek) dance like Michael Jackson at an Irish pub.

Enjoy the photos, next up, more of Kathmandu and TRIFC's projects.

The "almost there" victory photo! One problem: We weren't almost there.

Not Everest, but part of the limited view from the Everest View Hotel. The hotel is commonly used as an acclimatization point for later trekking, at 3,880 meters (nearly 13,000 feet).

It's a small plane. No, I didn't need to use this.
