Day 5-6 Thamo to Thame 3820 m
The road rises slowly and is easy to walk. The landscape is changing, we reach the tree line, the vegetation becomes sparse, and rocks dominate the landscape. We hear the sound of a river and come to a suspension bridge that leads above an impressive gorge. We arrive at the home of the Sherpa’s who since years accompany the adventurers to climb Mount Everest.
On rest day explore the village.

On the way we are able to see a few Musk Deer and Mountain Goats. After 6 hours we reach a slope. The road is narrow; it seems as if bruised in the mountain wall. Finally, we work our way slowly to the end of the path before the passage to the next mountain comes, it is marked by a rushing waterfall. Snow and ice nestle tightly to the steep slopes.
And suddenly we are on the top! Down the valley a barren, open countryside. A waterfall splashes icy to himself. In the distance we are able to see our Lodge.
