D4 Itinerary
Today has a good amount of climbing, and it's down first, then up. But with the alpine rhododendrons blooming enthusiastically along the way, you end up snapping photos and climbing at the same time without it feeling especially hard. There are a few junctions on today's route, but following the signposts or my own record here will keep you on track. Waypoint 80 has a water tap — hikers carrying a water filter can refill here. Following the trail up to 3,860 m brings you to the impressive Tengboche Monastery, with a café across from it where you can rest and use the toilet. Continuing on, you'll start seeing crumbling cliffs, but since the trail is wide, staying close to the rock wall keeps it safe. The trail finally reaches today's lodging, HOTEL GOOD LUCK¹, above 3,800 m.
