- Dingboche climb to Nangkartshang, Day6
(Dingboche was our 2nd and last rest day, giving us another chance to get used to this high altitude. Our climb to Nangkartshang gomba was eventful, with the 7am morning sun casting a strange light all over us, with all 3 mountains, Ama Dablam, Kangtega and Thamserku surrounding us. The timelapse videos of Dingboche the evening before - see below - were stunning. A hillside monastery gave us memories of Tiger's Nest in Bhutan. But the fuss in setting up our hot shower at this lodge takes the cake, in terms of novelty. It can only be here where water is dumped into a drum high above this small hut for gravity to pull it down to the water heater below - and all at 46C, hot enough to burn our skin!)
