Nepal - Must-See Attractions
Mt. Everest Base Camp
The Mount Everest Base Camp (EBC) hike is one of the world’s most iconic treks, offering adventurers the chance to walk in the footsteps of legendary mountaineers while enjoying breathtaking views of the Himalayas. The trek usually takes about 12-14 days, but as you are in Thamo and acclimated, it takes an additional 8 days covering a round trip of approximately 130 km (80 miles) from Lukla to the base camp and back.
Namche Bazaar
Namche Bazaar is a vibrant Sherpa town nestled in the Himalayas at an altitude of 3,440 meters (11,286 feet), and is a key stop on the trek to Everest Base Camp. Known as the gateway to the Everest region, it serves as a popular acclimatization point for trekkers. The town is set in a natural amphitheater with stunning views of the surrounding mountains, including Ama Dablam and Thamserku. Namche Bazaar is a bustling hub with lodges, restaurants, shops, and markets, offering trekkers a taste of local Sherpa culture and hospitality, as well as breathtaking landscapes.
