Itinerary description
|
Again in lower and warmer lands we will enjoy a short stage surrounded by vegetation in which we will return to Namché Bazaar and again we will enjoy the views towards Ama Dablam.
The route starts up a fairly steep path that runs through a beautiful forest and makes the climb not so hard, although after walking several days at 5,000 meters high, it makes efforts below 4,000 are made very bearers.
In the sections in which the path leaves the forest it does so to remain hung on beautiful and sloping slopes that show us the spectacular nature of the place where we are.
Following the ascent we meet again with the impressive Ama Dablam and the beautiful village of Phortse, which will indicate that the climb is coming to an end.
Around 4,000 meters we reach Mong, a small village where there are several lodges and a beautiful stupa.
From here the path will always go down a beautiful hillside that offers stunning views of the valley and the mountains that guard them.
After a good time of descent we arrived at the village of Sanasa, where 11 days before we took a detour that would take us to the Everest base camp leaving on our left a road that led to Gokyo and through which we are going down now to return to resume The way up but now back.
From now on we return to the wide path that will take us to Namche Bazaar making a continuous up-down, but always with a downward trend, in which I do not stop turning back to contemplate for the last time my dear Ama Dablam, as well as El Lothse and Everest, although the latter can still be seen one last time in the final day.
And after a while of getting off, I finally arrive at Namche Bazaar, where I will have to look for a lodge since I was full on the climb, but luckily I found a very cozy one, the Family Lodge, which above had a plug in the room, a luxury in these places.
