Acclimatization Hub for Mount Everest Expeditions
Namche Bazaar (3,440m) is the unofficial capital of the Khumbu. Every Everest trekking group stops here for acclimatization. It’s a town of bakeries, gear shops, and incredible views.
Don't just sleep. Hike high, sleep low. The hike to the Everest View Hotel offers your first good look at the Mount Everest summit. The Sherpa Culture Museum is also a must-visit.
Forgot your gloves? Namche has North Face stores and local gear shops. It is the last place to buy genuine equipment before heading deeper into your Mount Everest expedition route.
Enjoy the famous apple pie and Illy coffee at the local bakeries. It’s the last taste of luxury before the rustic life of high-altitude Everest trekking takes over.
Namche is vibrant and historic. Soak it in; you will miss the comfort when you are higher up.
