About Namche Bazaar
This Sherpa trading post clings to a steep mountainside bowl at 3,440 metres, its cobbled main street a vibrant bazaar where yak herders, trekkers, and traders converge. Every shop glows with climbing gear and expedition supplies. Prayer flags string between buildings, and the air crackles with the energy of mountain commerce and adventure.
