Rest Day in Tengboche

I have one rest day here in Tengboche before moving on to Pheriche tomorrow. We’ll stop along the way for our Buddhist blessing in Pangboche.

We started the day with a 1,000-foot-acclimatization hike. Hiking high then sleeping low is the best way to do it.

This is the best view I’ll have of Everest until I get back up to Camp 1. There’s not much of a view from Everest Base Camp.

Later today we’ll visit the monastery and listen to the monks chant Buddhist prayers. Sitting on the floor is cold and uncomfortable but I want to honor my Sherpa friends.

I’ve placed more pictures on Instagram. If you’re not on it download the free app on your smart phone and search for bartw55.
