Day #9 - Namche to Tengboche Pt 3

---

Today is going to be one of those days where you walk for 4-5 hours, exert a lot of effort, but dont gain much altitude and distance for your troubles. This was one of those "down and up" days I was very much aware of. Dirge pointed out Tengboche in the distance on the next hill. It looked about 4-5 miles away. However, to get there required a descent of some 400m down to the Dudh Kosi river, then back up the other side of the valley with an ascent of some 500m. That is what was going to take some 4-5 hours.
