The All Abilities Trek is hanging out in the clouds and loving life here in Tengboche which sits at 12,352 feet. This village is a holy place as here resides one of the most famous monasteries in the Khumbu.
Today is a holy day.
I am enchanted by the sound of gongs and horns as I write this update. We are now half way to Base Camp, having left Namche Bazar two days ago. From Namche, we dropped down to 10,400 feet to a little village called Phunki Teng. There is one family that lives in Phunki Teng and the rest of the occupants are part of the Army Base. You wouldn't know there was a base there as a crystal clear stream borders it making it a heavenly sight.
