Namche Bazaar ... a swirling pattern of Sherpa homes and hotels
I had reached Namche Bazaar on 4th Oct-07 i.e. on 10th day of trek from Jiri. The 11th day was Rest-day at Namche. I started on the 2nd Leg fromNamche to EBC & Kalapathar on 6th Oct 2007 and returned to Namche on 13th Oct 2007. The following subpages descibes the trek from Namche to EBC & Kalapathar and then back to Kathmandu via Lukla i.e. Day 12 to Day21.
