Trekking in the shadow of the highest mountains in the world, passing through Namche Bazar, the famous starting point for tours into the Everest region. Here, life is bustling: mountain enthusiasts from all over the world stop in this town, which has a bank, a post office, and internet cafés. At the same time, Namche Bazar remains a meeting point for Tibetan yak caravans heading to the Thame Monastery at over 3,800 meters.
