End of the Trek

Days 17, 18, 19 - Namche to Lukla to Kathmandu

Following our day off in Namche we headed all the way back to Lukla in a single day. It was a long walk but mostly downhill through the same valley that we had come up through. The lack of rain over the past week meant that the air was quite hazy as we decended. The views were beautiful but similar to many that we had already seen. In Lukla we had a rest day where we hiked around for a bit, didn't see anything new, and relaxed and had tea. The following day was or flight back down to Kathmandu that marked the end of the trek.

I already miss the mountains, but the trek was a wonderful experience.
