NAMCHE BAZAAR
Namche Bazaar is the gateway to the Everest region. Situated in the lap of Khumbu Himal range and 241 kilometers away from Kathmandu east from Kathmandu, getting there takes 10 days by trekking via Jiri, but only two days if one takes the flight to Lukla from the capital, Kathmandu.
Headquaters of the Khumbu District and home to the legendary Sherpas, namche Bazaar is a thriving town set upon a concave hilltop offering views of Khumbila (5,761m), Thamserku (6,608m). Namche itself lies at an altitude of 3,440 meters and most trekkers going on to higher altitudes, take a stop-over at Namche.
