Itinerary description
Trek to Namche Bazaar (3,440m)
We begin our trek on uphill and downhill trails with multiple crossings the suspension bridges over Dudh Koshi River and a magnificent view of Mt. Kusum Khangkaru (6370m) and Thamserku (6618m) from the Bengkar village. We cross more bridges and reach the entrance of Sagarmatha National Park at Monjo, where our trekking permits are checked. We walk furthermore passing through Jorsale village and crossing highest suspension bridge in Everest region. After we cross the bridge, we start with steep ascending via pine’s tree forest before reaching Namche Bazaar. From here, we get awesome views of the Himalayas including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Tabuche,Kongde and others more. Overnight in Namche Bazaar.
Strongly recommended to do this trek with a guide.
Tip: Avoid big companies, it's very helpful to have a guide that knows about the trek and Nepali Himalaya culture, otherwise it can be a very bad experience.
