Namche Bazaar is known as a gateway to the high Himalayas of Mt. Everest region.Rising to an elevation of 3,440 meters, this relatively small town is a bustling tourist zone and trading hub of the Khumbu region. This stunningly beautiful village, in Solukhumbu district of north-eastern Nepal, is perched on a sloping hill. It is hemmed in on all sides by gargantuan mountains. In the west of this town is Kongde Ri which is 6,187 meters in altitude and to the east is Thamserku at an elevation of 6,608 meters.Apart from the abundant hotels and lodges, Namche boasts three museums, a monastery, a Stupa at the bottom of the village, several bakeries and storehouses of trekking stuff.
Even in the communication sector, this particular village is far ahead of all other villages of the Everest region trekking route. It serves as a junction from where different Everest region trekking routes diverge.
At the altitude of 3,440 meters, Namche is cold. Winter is cold and dry. During the period between December and February, the day temperature is normally between 5 to 8 degree Celcius whereas during the night temperature falls between -6 to -8 degree Celcius.
Summer can be the best time to visit Namche since it is warm when the day temperature rises to 16 degrees and which falls to 8 degrees Celcius during the night. Summer is, however, characterized by frequent mists which blur the views of mountainous ranges. During the monsoon season, it is neither too cold nor too hot, but the streets get quite muddy, and puddles are formed.
