Day 4.

Last day of trekking today, walking back down to Lukla.

Breakfast at the lodge in Benkar, apple pancakes with honey and a couple of poached eggs.


Little sweeper.


Another beautiful day with great weather to be out trekking and enjoying the amazing scenery.


Corn.


We stopped mid-morning for a break and hot drink in Phakding.


Yakows going anti-clockwise around the stupa (you are supposed to go clockwise for good luck).


Having a spin.


Mother and son.


Wide loads.


You know you're back in civilisation when you see a YakDonald's sign! We made it back to Lukla at about 12:30pm after a good mornings trek.


The restaurant at our lodge had a bit of a view of the airport so we could see the planes landing and taking off. You can also just make out the 12% slope of the runway.


Roast chicken and mashed spuds for lunch.


After having a much needed shower and changing into clean clothes, I headed out for a walk around Lukla. No cars, motorbikes or even bicycles in the whole town so very pedestrian friendly.


Crying / Drying.


Shopkeeper's cat.


Last dinner of the trek. We shouted for the meals of Sharan & Rajendra so they could join us also. I had Yak sizzler, which was pretty tasty but a bit tough.
