The Everest base camp trek

Part 3: Phakding to Namche Bazzar


Weary travelers can rest at Phakding and get ready for the long climbs to Namche as these seem to go on for ever. At this point they will get to know the Nepali guest house kitchen, with its typical tea thermos and wood oven.
 

On the way from Phakding to Namche there is a huge fall (this is actually two pictures pasted together.)
 

The way has many  bridges to cross. Some are steady (mostly Swiss made).

And some seem to be small, almost crumbling. Since lots of Yaks travel these bridges, the "light" western traveler should have not fear the gods of gravitation...

The first point where mount everest is seen.
