About Namche Bazaar

Namche Bazaar is the legendary Sherpa capital and the gateway to the Everest region. Nestled in a horseshoe-shaped valley at 3,440m, this bustling mountain town is the main trading hub of the Khumbu region. The town features a weekly Saturday market where traders from lowland Nepal and Tibetan merchants come together. With its bakeries, coffee shops, gear stores, and the Sagarmatha National Park Visitor Centre, Namche is where trekkers acclimatize before pushing higher toward Everest Base Camp.
