We had eight hours overnight here so checked into the Holiday Inn Express at the airport. WiFi didn't work. We didn't touch Indian soil unfortunately.

Crowds and pushy guides. Some of the buildings have been destroyed by the 2015 earthquake. Black statue and golden face are ace though.

Landed in Lukhla, drank some tea, started hiking. Saw the first of many jopka (yak-cow cross). These have right of way and "are not friendly".
