Spend some time acclimatizing in Namche Bazaar, the main gateway to the Khumbu Valley, where you can experience the fascinating cultural traditions and warm hospitality of the Sherpas.
After full acclimatization, we then join the paths that have led some of history's best mountaineers to Base Camp.
