Statue of Tenzing Norgay in Namche Bazaar, Nepal

Day 3 NAMCHE BAZZAR  on the way to Everest Base Camp Trek.
A historic trading hub, famous for its homemade yak cheese and butter, Namche is situated on the slope of an arch-shaped mountain, with amazing views of giant Himalayan peaks from anywhere in the valley. Despite its development, Namche Bazaar still retains its ancient culture, traditions, and heart-warming hospitality. Besides the usual collection of hotels, restaurants, and equipment stores, one can even find a regular pub, Wi-Fi facilities, and a place to play pool. It is wise to halt here for a couple of days to get acclimatized by walking up and down in the vicinity as acclimatization is a slow process. A visit to Syangboche or some Sherpa villages like Thame, Khumjung and Khunde , just a few hours walk from Namche are good options for whiling away your time, which also helps you get acclimatized.
The statue behind me is located in Namche bazzar.

The First Sherpa to Climb to the Top of Mt. Everest
Tenzing Norgay has been on more Everest expeditions than any other man, and he probably “deserved,” if anyone did, to reach the top.
