	Trek Through Khumbu Nepal to Everest Basecamp with Alpine Ascents International
		In the Khumbu region of Nepal here, there are actually two monasteries of most importance, One in Thame and one in Tengboche.
		And also we were presented with Frungis (sic) which is similar to a little red cord that a Rinpoche or lama will tie around your neck, and that's also pretty much the same purpose that the Khatas were, and so this was a very high point of the trip.
		We had a beautiful sunny day's walk through very scenic Sherpa Villages here in the lower river valley region and got camp set just in time for thunder showers to come through, but that was okay we were nice and comfortable and out of the weather when it came through.
