Another beautiful morning! We woke up at 6 for an early start of the descend. After packing and having breakfast we took the pictures which we wanted to retake - same old t-shirts, but slightly different place - and went to say our good byes to the lodge owner and his family. We were pleasantly surprised When we were given "katas" (beautiful silk scarfs, offered by buddhists to show respect or to wish good luck) by him. After a few more pictures with them we started our descend.
It was a really enjoyable day; the blue sky and beautiful landscape around us - mountains, river, forest - lifted our spirits. We arrived at another spot from where Mt. Everest can be seen usually in the mornings, before the clouds start to form. And there it was, as if it was just waiting for us! It really made our day!
We continued to walk until we reached Monjo, where we stopped for lunch. We had the traditional Nepali dish, daal bhat, which consists of a lentil soup, served with rice and vegetable curry.
We reached Phakding at around 4:30pm and we stayed at the "Tibetan Guesthouse", same lodge as before. We went to bed quite early, in preparation for an early start the next day.
