Namche Bazaar (3,440m)

It takes about 7 hours to reach Namche from Phakding. This exceedingly enchanting place is the main market place including a Tibetan market of Khumbu area. A large weekly market takes place here every Saturday. On the weekly market day people from low land bring foodgrains, fuel and other essential commodities to sell here and local people buy all the commodities they need for the whole week for their consumption and trade. This is a very busy market which lies within Sagarmatha National Park enroute to Namche from Phakding that can be reached after passing from Jorsalle. This is also an administrative site of Khumbu area.

Many government offices including the headquarters of Sagarmatha National Park, police check post, bank, army camp, post office and clinic are located here. The National Park headquarters lies at Chorkang Danda (La) which can be reached after a 15 minutes walk. A very good museum has been established here. This museum depicts in a very interesting way all vegetation, flora and fauna including birds found in Sagarmatha National Park and the successful mountaineers who have proved successful in climbing Mount Everest so far. This is also one of the important places for trekkers going to Everest region.
