Sheila's Khumbu High trek photos 5: Namche funJamie and Jan successfully climbed Island Peak while the more sensible people trekked down from Dingboche at a more leisurely pace. In Namche they celebrated Kim's birthday, at least that was the excuse for a general piss-up.
Ang Dami, Joel and Nima (2nd porter leader). Both have trekked with us 4-5 times, so you will see their smiling faces too, if you come trekking with us...
Yak caravans were a common sight. Each sack doesn't look
that big, |

Tengboche Gompa is stunningly set; this is taken from near the gompa looking to Ama Dablam (right) and Everest, and the Lhotse-Nuptse wall.
The trek from Pangboche down towards Tengboche (seen in
the left on the wooded ridge) is stunning,
Our porters enjoy a well-deserved beer - great job, guys! Gombu, leaning over on the left, has trekked with me 3 times now, and the two guys to the right of him, twice.
Damn, everyone knew the flash was coming and closed their eyes... Or was it alcohol induced?? |

Natang (the Namche Moonlight lodge owner) and Ang Dami (our porter leader) bring them in - and the result... Oh yes, it was Kim's birthday (earlier it was Joel's and Jamie's too, all on the same trek - it is worth coming on our December trek for all the extra cakes alone!)
Kim cries...
