Day #6 - Monjo Arrival

---

Just before Monjo we stopped by the TIMS checkpoint. All trekkers to the region are required to get a TIMS card, for a fee, and the government uses this revenue to maintain the national parks. One of our guides sorted all the paperwork out with the local army official at the checkpoint. Whilst waiting, a little Nepalese boy probably a little younger than my 4 year old son, was rolling around in the grass enjoying the attention of our group.

Once the paperwork was checked, we officially entered Sagarmartha National Park and a little way up the trail we entered Monjo and out tea house for the night. After a reasonable 3 hours of walking I was feeling pretty good about the days ahead.
