Buddhist prayer flags fluttering along the mountains, Mani stone walls, small Sherpa villages, and crossing glacial rivers that are rushing down the stream from the high Himalayas through suspension bridges is an exciting part of the trek to Lukla from Monju. At night in Lukla, we rest and relax and share our experiences with the team, as tomorrow we will be flying out of Lukla and part of the porters.
