Tramping on and on and on

We left our well earned "rest" and beloved Namche Bazaar behind as we walked past the track to the lookout. Courtesy of one of our guys having to return to the guest house, while waiting, I got this lovely embrace from this little girl. Most of the track is dotted with Stupas and rock altars. These mostly cite the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum. The rock altars, I suspect, form a wonderful way to still or return the mind to the beauty of the landscape from what may have been a treachurous journey for many Nepalese. Next town Phortse Gaon, 6 to 7 hours away.
