Everest Trek to End Trafficking
Our trek now starts climbing in some attitude... How will I feel? I know how I feel at 14,000+ ft and for the most part I felt great. So now we are off to Namche Bazaar (11,289ft) as we continue trekking 5.5 hours. We will be gaining 2,700 ft in elevation this day. The expected temperatures at this altitude will be around the mid 30's. We will be traveling along the banks of the Dudh Koshi, crossing the majestic river many times on exciting suspension bridges. After entering the Sagamartha National Park, the trail climbs steeply with breathtaking views. The mountains come alive as we will be surrounded by them everywhere.
Namche Bazaar is home to many quality restaurants, hotels, shops, money exchange services, etc. We will spend the day here Namche Bazaar to acclimate. We will trek a short distance to a museum that is celebrated for its exhibits of the traditional customs of the Sherpa people. We will also hike up to Everest View Hotel, one of the highest-placed hotels in the world, where we can see some breathtaking views of the Himalayas including Mount Everest! THIS is where I plan on doing some night sky photography with the Himalayas as my backdrop... The Milky Way over the Himalayas oh this will be epic! The moon will be approx 39% illuminated setting around midnight. Oh.... Yes please.
