Phorste to Tengboche

Leaving Namche, we took the road to Phorste, home of the most Sherpa summiteer in the Khumbu. Very privileged to meet people that have anywhere between 5 and 21 summits of Everest and still working very hard and trying to make your life easier as you trek along the Khumbu. 

After spending the night in Phorste, we continued our way towards Tengboche.  We arrive in Tengboche with the perfect timing as not too long after tea time, it started to snow.  Our visit to Tengboche was very important and meaningful as we meet with Lama Geshe, the highest ranking Buddhist Lama in the area. He prayed for us and our expedition to be safe and have good luck on the mountain.

The night was cold but the morning was simply magical. We felt like we got transported in a Harry Potter movie with the light snow melting under the bright sunshine. There’s simply no words to describe how beautiful was that morning as we were heading out to Pheriche
