Nepal Trekking Day 3

Day 3: Acclimization day in Namche Bazaar (3,440)

Today we get to rest and acclimate to the altitude, after 2 busy days I'm ready to have some rest and take it easy.


Early morning in Namche



Stolling through the village
Yaks need a break too!
Katie shopping... well, what else are you going to do at the bazaar???

Buddha Stupa in the village center


Part of our day off was a short hike to a museum and overlook dedicated to Mt Everest. Here is our first view!!! Well, the mountain you see is Lhotse Shar, Everest is hiding behind the clouds on the left side of the picture.

The trail that you see winding through the mountains is where we will be in Day 4.

The teahouse we stayed at in Namche was one of the nicest, but here is a pic to give an idea... nothing big, 4 walls and a bed or 2.
The usual afternoon clouds rolling into Namche.
