Day 9 - Gokyo to Mongla 3978m

Decide to go down due to cloudy weather. This instead of going up to Gokiyo Ri or further up the Gazumpa glacier. This will also allow me more time to wait at Lukla in case weather is bad. Long day which we ended at friendly lodge in Mongla.

Second of Major Humes rescues...ask him... In the lodge dinning area, a mouse had carried about 1kg of rice into stove drawer - as we were first guests of season his treasure was discovered! Ag shame hey...

Rescuer and lodge owners, - all happy again
