November 7, 2009 – Namche Bazaar and Acclimatization Day
Hello, this is Temba. We are having our acclimatization day in Namche. We hiked up to the view point early this morning. We had a great panoramic view of the Himalayas. We saw Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamsherku and many other peaks. We visited the museum in the park as well.
Today is Saturday market in Namche. We went to the market and there is also a Tibetan market in town. Everybody was busy buying and looking around at all of the many items for purchase. We had great day and everyone is still doing very well.
