Day #9 - Namche to Tengboche Pt 4

---

We catch up with out first large group or groups of trekkers - ahead on the trail is snake of some 30-40 trekkers, which much also be going to Tengboche or further. Also on the trail are the usual porters carrying impossibly heavy loads and lots more Yaks - some of which seem to be a bit on the unruly side. One of the early lessons imparted to us from our Guide Leader, is when Yaks, Donkeys or other 4 legged beasts of burden are coming to pass, stand to the inside of the mountain and wait. Given some of the large drops down the valley on the other side, it is sound advice taken by all of us. Better a wooly Yak rolls of the cliff edge than some unfortunate Gortex clad trekker.
