Day 3: Exploration And Acclimatization Day At Namche.

An altitude of over 3,000 meters requires time out to acclimatize before climbing higher. To properly acclimatize to the thinning air and shortage of oxygen it is necessary to remain active. To better acclimatize we either visit the nearby villages like Khunde and Khumjung and explore the monasteries or trek up to the old Sherpa Village of Thame. These villages reveal the culture, architecture, and lifestyle of traditional Sherpas. We can also visit the museum, National Park Headquarters, or simply enjoy the internet services, bakeries, and cafes in this thriving town.

This morning we hit the trail and continue to Mt. Everest Base Camp through the immense Gorak-Shep. On the trail, we pass the Indian army mountaineers’ memorials. The thin air at this high altitude can be tiring which necessitates us moving at a slower pace. We cross rocky dunes, moraines, and streams before arriving at EBC. From here you will see some of the world’s highest snow-covered peaks that stand in stark contrast to the gray and rocky surroundings. Before we are Khumbutse, Nuptse, and Pumori.
