Back in Lukla, we heard the ringing sound of telephone for the first time in two weeks. Somehow, the ringing sounded strange and weird to our ears. While up on the mountains, the only sounds we heard were from the bells worn by yaks and horses (equivalent to horns of vehicles) and the sound of the roaring rivers.
We had to stay an extra day in Luka because the flight was cancelled due to bad weather (flights in the mountain regions are very weather-dependent). As there was nothing much to do in the small town / village, we spent the extra day walking about the place, chit-chatting, looking at the photos (of the trip) on T.V. and watching some documentary shows (mountain climbing).
Going back to Kathmandu was like going back to civilisation. We had to readjust ourselves to the world of cacophony sounds. While in Kathmandu, besides the usual shopping in the Thamel area, we also visited some of the places which we had not been to before.
