Khunde clinic

On our route today we went through Khunde which is a small town that few tourists visit where we saw the Khunde clinic and the Hillary school both started by Edmund Hillary. The Khunde clinic is a small rural hospital with 15 inpatient beds, a birthing room, an ultrasound, and a small X-ray machine. They provide medical care mainly to locals and for minimal cost.

Outside of Khunde, we stopped to catch our breath at a stupa and had an amazing view of Ama Dablam.
