IN PHOTOS: A chill day exploring Namche Bazaar, coffee at Hotel Everest view, and the Yeti skull in Khumjung village. This is the 2nd part (day 2 to 4) of my epic 19-day trek to Everest Base Camp (EBC) and Gokyo Lake, perched on the Himalayan mountains in Nepal. After the long trek from Lukla Airport, I arrived in Namche Bazaar. Located at 3,440 meters above sea level, it’s a good place to spend a chill hiking day to acclimatize to the high elevation.
