To help our bodies adjust to the harsh conditions and thin air at high altitudes, it’s essential to acclimatize. This involves practicing and adapting before reaching higher elevations where our system cannot easily function. Therefore, we acclimatize at Namche Bazaar for one day.

Moreover, we will visit Sherpa villages, Kungde and Khumjung, to experience local culture and see the Hillary School and a monastery that houses a purported yeti scalp.
