      Day 5: Exploration & Acclimatization Day At Namche Bazaar.

      The reason for staying a day at Namche Bazaar is to acclimatize before heading to higher altitudes. It is critically important to acclimatize before climbing higher up the mountains and will ensure you are physically ready and less likely to be affected by altitude sickness. Medical experts strongly advise that you move around and avoid being idle. We may decide to visit the villages of Khumjung and Khudi to help acclimatize, which is a perfect place to stop for lunch. Khumjung is said to have several good bakeries. A five-hour trek to Everest View Hotel offers you gripping views of numerous gigantic mountains - including Everest. We then return to Namche Bazaar for the night.
