Ian,
You need to get in touch with your inner yak my friend... And then shave it.

: In case anyone asks, the yak did not have his own room, nor did he share mine. He stayed in an outhouse.

: The Lobuche Eco Lodge is a terrible place to stay as it's full of 'Everest climbers' who are long on talk and short on actual climbing.

: Ian

: : : Seems such an obvious thing,but I met two aussie guys in Namche,who'd thought that they'd be able to use a Visa card in Namche.This was February and no place would entertain the card.
: : : They'd trekked in from Jiri and were down to only $60 between them.

: : You can use your VISA card in Namche. There is bank that accepts a VISA to withdraw cash. The costs are extremely high of course... (I thought something like 20%)
: : Also in the Ecologic Inn in Lobuche and in the 9000m Hotel you can pay with your VISA card.

: : Travellercheques are easier to use and the costs are much much lower.

: : It is quite silly to take these kinds of things for granted.

: : Jan
