Is the Yeti at Home?

It's time now to return to Nepal and the delights of Namche Bazaar. After settling into our tea house and having a good night's sleep, we faced the next morning feeling refreshed (the lack of a very early morning call, with it being our rest day certainly helped).

After breakfast our trekking crew took us on a walk to another Everest viewpoint. Inevitably this involved a steep upward climb: it was steep but not particularly long.

On our way up we were rather excited to discover we had found the home of the elusive yeti. The sign we are sitting in front of said 'Yeti Mountain Home' (in case you can't read it).


It wasn't at all what we had expected, but after we poked our noses through the gate and saw that this was a very grand hotel, we realised that the name of the Yeti had been taken in vain by a chain of hotels and this was definitely not his home. We could thefore keep our romantic ideas of his remote, snowy home, untarnished.

At the viewpoint, we were very excited by the views of Everest that were a lot better than the ones we'd had the previous day.


The path crossing the foremost mountain was the one we were due to take the next day, to reach the famous Tengboche Monastery.

It was all extremely exciting.

Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx
