Surprisingly, even in this remote location, there are cyber cafes and pool halls available.

Acclimatization at Namche Bazaar

Irish Pub - It is crucial to explore higher altitudes during your two-day stay in Namche Bazaar. Options include trekking to Khumjung to visit the local school and hospital, or to Thame village, home to Sherpa Everest climbers and the legendary Tenzing Norgay. Alternatively, you can trek to the airstrip at Shyanboche (3720m), where the Everest View Hotel, established by the Japanese, offers a prime view of Everest. However, the hotel’s high altitude of nearly 4000 meters often causes altitude sickness.

Lobuche - As you trek towards Lobuche, the valley becomes barren, but the snow-capped peaks towering above capture your attention. The path joins the trail below Thugla, offering stunning views of Cholatse (6442m) across the valley. The trail can be rocky, so watch your step. After a steep ascent, the views of Tawache and Nuptse from Lobuche are particularly spectacular, towering almost 2 kilometers overhead.
