Day 2 of EBC

in trek •  7 months ago  (edited)

It was a killer day. There came a point when I felt I was going to collapse and no more. But my guide kept motivating me. Everyone on the way I felt had the same feeling. The walking distance was around 12 km, which was a little more than day 1, but the day 1 path was easier. It took us 8 hrs to reach from Phadking to Namche Bazaar.

For the first 3 hrs, the path was going up and down, and some straight walks. There were several villages on the way. We crossed Toktok, Benkar, Chumowa, Monjo and Jorsale. At Monjo, there is Sagarmatha National Park entrance where the bags were checked, and some fees had to be paid, which my guide did all the formalities. The bag check is to see if no one is carrying drones. I had my lunch at the last village Jorsale, the lunch was Dal, Rice and Salad.

From here on was the start of the most gruelling path. The first one hour was still ok, but the last 7.5 km was killing. I did not even want to look up to see how much of the road was remaining. I was almost getting numb in my mind. After every few steps was a little rest, and I kept drinking electrolyte water to stay hydrated. For some moments, I had major withdrawal symptoms. I wanted to return back but again, my guide kept motivating me.

After 4 hours, finally, I reached Namche Bazaar. It's a very beautiful village but I was not in a condition to admire the beauty. The valley views were stunning, I had one look and said wow and resumed my walk. Even after reaching Namche, it was not over. My hotel was on the top most hill of the village, which took me another half an hour more.

I must have never felt so good in my life as I felt finally reaching here. My room was arranged, and I immediately got into the bed for an hour. After that, when I felt a little better, I treated myself with the protein bar that I had carried and a cup of ginger, lemon, and honey tea. After which was bath time. The room here is much better, the bathroom is well equipped, and everything is comfortable.

I was in my bed only the whole evening reading and relaxing. My eyes were closing, but I did not want to sleep, or else getting sleep at night would have been challenging.

That was the end of day 2, and here are the pictures. Possibly, after the next 2 days, there would be absolutely no network, and I will not be able to put up any updates.

The top one is the hillary suspension bridge. The tallest suspension bridge in the world. An amazing man made structure

Can you see this gruelling path. It must be the world's most deadliest trekking path. And it was a non-stop 4 hrs all the way up with numerous breaks.
