Day 3: Rest Day in Namche
Prayer flags above Namche.
Today was a rest day at Namche so we headed up for a morning acclimatization hike from our Panorama Lodge up to the Everest View Hotel climbing up from 3,440 meters to 3,860 meters. Halfway up the climb we were treated to spectacular panoramic views of Ama Dablam and our final destination of Mt. Everest.
We stopped by the Everest View Hotel for some drinks and headed back down to Namche for lunch. We had the rest of afternoon free as many members of the climbing and trekking team explored Namche Bazar.
