Deboche to Namche

Hello Everyone,

Today we trekked from Deboche to Namche and had beautiful weather! It was our last day to get some great views of Everest as we have started descending to the lower elevations. It’s always pleasant returning back to Namche and our favorite tea house the Panorama lodge. We got here in the early afternoon and some of us explored the big city of Namche and a couple stayed back, took showers and relaxed in the lodge. I’ve got some more pictures to share with you the next couple of days but might not be able to until we get back to Kathmandu in a couple days. Everyone is feeling much better with being back down at 11,300ft, and feeling much lower than the first time here! Tomorrow we trek to Phakding and then onto Lukla the following day. Thanks for following along!
