It was a killer day. There came a point when I felt I was going to collapse and no more. But my guide kept motivating me. Everyone on the way I felt had the same feeling. The walking distance was around 12 km, which was a little more than day 1, but day 1 path was easier. It took us 8 hrs to reach from Phadking to Namche Bazaar.
For the first 3 hrs, the path was going up and down and some straight walks. There were several villages on the way. We crossed Toktok, Benkar, Chumowa, Monjo, and Jorsale. At Monjo, there is Sagarmatha National Park entrance where the bags were checked, and some fees had to be paid, which my guide did all the formalities. The bag check is to see if no one is carrying drones. I had my lunch at the last village Jorsale, the lunch was Dal, Rice and Salad.
From here on was the start of the most gruelling path. The first one hour was still ok, but the last 7.5 km was killing. I did not even want to look up to see how much of the road was remaining. I was almost getting numb in my mind. After every few steps was a little rest, and I kept drinking electrolyte water to stay hydrated. For some moments, I had major withdrawal symptoms. I wanted to return back but again, my guide kept motivating me.
After 4 hours, finally, I reached Namche Bazaar. It's a very beautiful village but I was not in a condition to admire the beauty. The valley views were stunning, I had one look and said wow and resumed my walk. Even after reaching Namche, it was not over. My hotel was on the top most hill of the village, which took me another half an hour more.
I must have never felt so good in my life as I felt finally reaching here. My room was arranged, and I immediately got into the bed for an hour. After that, when I felt a little better, I treated myself with the protein bar that I had carried and a cup of ginger, lemon, and honey tea. After which was bath time. The room here is much better, the bathroom is well equipped, and everything is comfortable.
I was in my bed only the whole evening reading and relaxing. My eyes were closing, but I did not want to sleep, or else getting sleep at night would have been challenging.
That was the end of day 2, and here are the pictures. Possibly, after the next 2 days, there would be absolutely no network, and I will not be able to put up any updates.
Starting elevation: 8,563 ft / 2,610 m
Ending elevation: 11,290 ft / 3,440 m

One step at a time
These views keep me going
My guide, who is always enthu about clicking pictures
At the Sagarmatha National Park, which is a check point
Lunch break time
Back on the road
The top one is the hillary suspension bridge. The tallest suspension bridge in the world. An amazing man made structure
Can you see this gruelling path. It must be the world's most deadliest trekking path. And it was a non-stop 4 hrs all the way up with numerous breaks.
Finally reaching Namche Bazaar village
The Prayer wheels
My accommodation for 2 nights
This is what refreshed me
The view from my room window
After a good 3 hrs relaxing time, my SpO2 and BPM reading.

It will get easier I am sure
I employ one silly technique at such junctures
Count till 10 then repeat
If too tired, count till three under my breath and then repeat
If exhausted/drained totally, count till two under my breath
And then accordingly match my steps with my counting
Has always worked for me 😁
Yes,I too keep doing that, keep the count going and it becomes easier
The views from the top are really amazing and that suspension bridge looks well made! After so much struggle and obstacles, the feeling of finally reaching your destination is unmatched!
Absolutely, the feeling was amazing
As I read ma'am I felt the tiredness you had experienced. It's good that you keep the journey. If I will be in your position, I would cry and go home. 🤣 Looking forward to your achievement ma'am. ☺️ Keep safe.
I did cry and also thought to myself, why did I choose to do this
Hehehe, it's good that you continue ma'am. 😊 The pictures were nice.😊
What a nice view you got there.🤗
Thank you
शानदार दिन
शानदार जगह
12 किमी में 8 घंटे लग जाना जिसमें भी लगभग 950 मीटर का एलिवेशन गेन हो। ज़ज़्बा खतरनाक है आपका। मजा आ गया सस्पेंशन ब्रिज और गांव के फोटोज को देखकर।
Thank you. It indeed has been very adventurous for me to do this type of an activity
Taking a walk in this village means that one will need a lot of water because of the hiking
I’m sure you enjoyed the experience
Hydration is very important, I have to keep drinking water every 10 to 15 mins
It's a really nice place. The view is so beautiful. Stay hydrated and take care. I am looking forward to a more fascinating scenery of your next days activity.
Thank you once again
Hello, nice hike and that suspension bridge is impressive, have a good day my lady.👍👍👍
Yes, these bridges are very impressive
Your journey is going to be very long, it is the second day but it is really very beautiful, in this you should stop for a while and look at every place and keep moving forward at a slow pace.
You are right, and I keep doing that. Thank you
