Where to Eat and Relax After Your Expedition
After your Mount Everest expedition, Kathmandu feels like a different planet. The smells, sounds, and heat are a shock after the silence of the Mount Everest summit region. Here is how to recover.
Your first stop should be a 'real' meal. Steaks at OR2K or pizza at Fire and Ice are legendary traditions for returning Everest trekking groups. Your body needs the calories!
A professional trekker’s massage in Thamel is the best way to work out the knots from your Mount Everest expedition. It’s a well-deserved luxury after weeks in a sleeping bag.
Thamel is the place to buy singing bowls, Pashminas, and thangkas. It’s the perfect way to spend your final days reflecting on your journey toward the Mount Everest summit.
Kathmandu is the bookend to your adventure. Enjoy the chaos—it’s the perfect contrast to the heights of the Mount Everest summit.
