Nepal - Day 5 (Wednesday, April 2, 2014)

Wednesday, April 2, 2014 - Acclimatization day

Took an acclimatization hike from Namche Bazaar to Everest View Hotel. Explored the monastery in Namche Bazaar. Stayed another night at Namche Bazaar.

Approximately 3 miles with an elevation gain and loss of 1,250 ft.

 Greeted with this amazing view as I woke up, right outside my tent.

 Our first view of Mt. Everest (peak in the middle all the way to the back) as we hike to Everest View Hotel to acclimate.
The locals tilling the soil. Seen along our acclimatization hike. Hard to imagine how people are able to grow anything here.

One of the many amazing meals we had on our 2 week long trek. All the food was carried or bought along the way and prepared fresh everyday.
