2. Namche Bazaar

Namche bazaar- everest Trekking

On the way to the base camp from Lukla through the Dudh Koshi Valley, we reach a small town called Namche Bazaar, which used to be the capital of Khumbu Sherpas. It is the trading center of this region and we can find numerous shops, restaurants and market here. It is really surprising to see a town which is accessible only through an expensive air flight or days of walking offering every type of consumer products (although expensive). Namche Bazaar is an excellent example of how tourism can help develop a country immensely. We could also visit the Sagarmatha National Park headquarters here, which offers information regarding the park and pictures of different mountain peaks as well as the Sherpa Cultural Centre that is the Sherpa museum of the country. Lastly, Namche Bazaar itself provides stunning views of nearby glacial valleys and snowcapped mountain peaks like Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, etc.

3. Tengboche Monastery
