Myths and legends

Namche Bazaar was founded at the very beginning of the developing of the Khumbu Valley by Sherpas. Due to its convenient location (on the most important trade route from Tibet to Nepal), it has become the most important trading center of the valley. Until now, people from all the surrounding valleys gather at the fair every Saturday in Namche Bazar. But, of course, they come here not only to buy or sell something, but also to chat with friends and relatives, have fun, relax. Finding a place to spend time here is not difficult. In the town there are many cafes and restaurants for almost every taste.

In Namche Bazaar, a house has been preserved, which is considered the oldest Sherpa house - it is more than 150 years old. Here you can see the traditional home way of life of these people. Also not far from the observation point, which offers a magnificent view of the Ama Dablam range, the Sherpa Culture Museum is located. At the entrance to the museum is a statue of Tenzing Norway (the first Sherpa who ascended the summit of Everest).
