I felt much better this morning and as soon as we left Namche Bazar we enjoyed a beautiful view to the mountain range in the clear blue sky. Two Stupas were built at the path and they create a wonderful panorama in front of the snow-capped mountains. It took about two hrs (with lot of stops for taking pictures) to Khyangjuma, the next inhabited area with some shops, restaurants and even a bakery. Beyond, the path is forking towards Tengboche or Gokyo. So finally we left the crowded Everest Highway and a steep path at the rocks followed. After a bit more than one hour we arrived Mongla (3.973m), which offers a beautiful old Stupa and all restaurants with an amazing view to the mountains Khandega, Thamshaku and Kusum Kanguru. Perfect spot for lunch! The path was forking again towards Phortse Thanga or Dhole. We decided to spent the next three hrs to hike to Dhole already, which turned out as quite strenuous due to the strong wind. Additionally, a big herd of yaks slow us down as we couldn’t pass along the narrow path. We passed the first snow-covered rocks and some little waterfalls, before we arrived tiredly at Dhole (4.200 meters) at about 4pm. I spent the night at “River Side Lodge”, which didn’t even offer running water, but a warm dining hall compensated the basic facilities. After all, I finally got a flu and went to bed at 7pm.
