Trek to EBC Day 4 - Namche Bazaar to Tengboche

EBC Trek Day 4 April 13, 2017

Tengboche is home to the largest Gompa (Buddhist Monastery) in the Khumbu region. At 3,867m (12,687 ft) above sea level, Tengboche is surrounded by spectacular peaks and has a striking view of Tawache, Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Amadablam.

The hardest part of this trek is leading out of Namche Bazaar about  30 minutes of stair climbing and the 2-3 hours ascend to Tengboche. From Namche to Tengboche should only take a 5-6 hours walk but we trekked slowly keeping in mind the high altitude elevation.

Teresa and I arrived at Tengboche (3867masl) at 4:20 pm healthy and safe. The trek is a gradual climb and has the best view of the towering mountains. However, it is very dusty. The trail is very busy with trekkers, transporters, yaks, and horses. The trail is narrow going around the mountains.
