This morning we had breakfast at 7:30 am, then climbed back uphill to the Tengboche Monastery. Located at an altitude of almost 12,800 ft and surrounded by high mountains, the monastery is a beautiful place. Luckily, we got inside for a quick visit. The inside is stunningly beautiful, and some of us went back several hours later for the afternoon prayer. The rest of the day went quietly, and at about 5 pm it started snowing again. Tomorrow morning we'll be leaving for the village of Pheriche. This should take another 6 to 7 hrs, and we will then be above 14,200 ft. And at this elevation things usually start to get interesting...
