Understanding the People Behind the Expedition
Located above Namche Bazaar, this private museum is a gem. It offers a reconstructed traditional Sherpa home and artifacts that explain the history of Mount Everest expeditions from the local perspective.
The downstairs is a replica of a family home, complete with copper pots and religious altars. It shows how Sherpas lived before the tourism boom brought wealth to the Everest trekking region.
The photo gallery features portraits of every Sherpa who summited Everest. It puts faces to the legends. Seeing the evolution of gear from 1953 to now is fascinating for any climber.
The museum courtyard offers one of the best views of Ama Dablam and Everest. It’s a quiet spot away from the busy market, perfect for reflection on your Everest trekking journey.
The entry fee supports the preservation of Sherpa culture. It’s a must-visit.
