Day #6 - Monjo afternoon walk (Pt 2)

---

I had run out of water at the top of this climb, and I suspect I was somewhat dehydrated given the headaches I was still having, which couldn’t have been altitude sickness as I was not high enough. I made a mental note that I needed to take more water each day on my treks.

It was time to head back down through the forest and to our lodge. Given the steep descent I used my walking poles for the first time so far on this trek. They descent was manageable but the dusty trail gave me a slight cough, something our guide leader had forewarned us about and recommend we get some kind of face mask to avoid this being a persistent cough. I make a mental note to get one in Namche when we arrive the next day.
