Today was a day to see more of Kathmandu, so Chhiring picked me up at 7:30 am and we headed to the historic village of Bhaktapur - the original royal city of the Nepalese Kingdom. So much of the damage from the 2016 earthquake was still being cleaned up, but many of the historic monuments remained including temples, pagodas and other religious monuments. Of course just getting there in a taxi weaving through 10+ miles of Nepal humanity in a big crazy city like Kathmandu is half the adventure. Well worth the time away from the hotel.
The rope teams are set to leave Thursday to establish the route to the summit that day, which will open the opportunity for more teams to summit next week. So we might start for the final summit on Thursday.
