Nepal, Namche Bazar, 1983
Nepal, Namche Bazar, 1983 - In my journal I referred to it as "Namche Bizarre." I went back and forth to Namche several times. Namche is the main town in the Solo Khumbu region of Nepal, the area where Sherpas come from. (It was a Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay, who, with Sir Edmund Hillary, first climbed Everest.) I flew to Lukla and then walked a day to get to Namche, situated at 11,283 feet. As I walked over the lip of the bowl where Namche resides, I saw Everest for the first time. I whiled away days here writing about philosophy. I found a guide in Namche to take me to climb Island Peak, the first time I went over 20,000 feet.
