Hillary Suspension Bridge
हिलारी पुल
A high suspension bridge over a deep Dudh Koshi gorge, draped with prayer flags. It is the most iconic photo stop before the steep climb to Namche.
The bridge is at Larja Dobhan, north of Monjo, where two rivers meet. It hangs about 100 metres above the Dudh Koshi and is strung with five-coloured prayer flags. There are two levels, and today most people use the newer high bridge above. After crossing, a steep climb of about 600 metres leads up to Namche Bazaar. On a clear day you may catch your first glimpse of Everest along the way. Yaks and porters often cross at the same time, so let the yaks pass first and stand on the mountain side of the bridge to avoid being pushed to the edge.
