Everest Base Camp Trek: Grom & Team Visit the Thamo Monastery

Hello again everyone back home. It was another great day here in the Khumbu Valley, with the team waking up to bright beautifully clear skies, and mountains in every direction. We had a nice relaxing breakfast and decided to make the most of our scheduled rest day by hiking a little way to visit a Monastery in Thamo. It’s home to a kind group of female Buddhist Monks that are Tibetan refugees. They apparently escaped over the boarder which is only a few miles away and have made this home like the Sherpa community did some 500+ years ago. When we arrived the nuns were milling about and tending to their greenhouse that they use to grow their vegetables. We purchased a few prayer flags and prayer beads to help support them and then made our way back to Namche for lunch. Then evening was spent exploring Namche and doing a little bargaining for a few gifts. Finally we wrapped up the evening with another great meal here at our tea house. All is well and everyone is doing great. RMI Guide Casey Grom and crew
