Day 2 Everest Base Camp Trek | Phakding to Namche Bazaar

We hiked from Phakding to Namche Bazaar, gaining significant elevation while crossing several swinging bridges and passing mule trains, tea houses, and earthquake-damaged homes. After lunch, we tackled the steepest section of the trek and arrived in Namche as rain and fog settled in. We warmed up at our tea house, visited a bakery for chocolate cake and coffee, and enjoyed clearer views of the surrounding mountains.
