Nepal Trek: Day 16

October 9th – Thanygboche to Namche Bazaar:
Started the day at the monesatry for the monk's morning prayers,  an apple pancake at the guest house and then the hike down to Namche.
One last view of the Himalayas:


The vendors in Namche now sell outdoor gear in case you forgot to bring anything from home. There is even a Mountain Hardware store and a Sherpa store…with Western prices. (No Nepal discount here!)
The Mountain Hardware store in Namche:


But you can still get your various tourist buys, such as jewelry, singing bowls, bags and yak bells.
