- Namche Bazaar trek from Phakding, Nepal
(It is the most visually striking sight when on this trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar, and it requires a huge physical push to get up to it, with seemingly endless vertical steps, with many bordering on the edges that lead to a 200m drop into the raging Dudh Kosi river. What is it? The dual Hillary-Tenzing suspension bridges. It marks the halfway point of our trek to Namche, but it also means that the next 4-5hrs will be a non-stop, uphill back-breaking trek to get there. The rewards of great sceneries are there but this stretch is brutal for us city folks. Not to our surprise, we require the over 9hrs in total to get here)
