Itinerary description
|
Acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar, which we take advantage of to climb Khumjung through a circular route and see views of Mount Everest for the first time.
Before leaving Namche we go through a viewpoint where we get the first views of Lothse, Ama Dablam, Nuptse or Everest itself.
Once out of town we start a steep climb that takes us to the Hotel Everest, here it is possible to eat or have lunch, although we prefer to stop once we have passed the hotel in a quieter area and away from "tourism".
From here we go down to Khumjung, very peculiar due to the number of corrals as a plot that each house has where we stop to drink tea.
From Khumjung there is the option of either going back to Namche or visiting another nearby village called Khunde which has a nice temple that can be visited.
From Khumjung and after a small climb, all that remains is to go back down to Namche Bazaar.
Once there, we enjoyed its streets, and the atmosphere of the town.
