Day: 6 Khumbu

Day:6  Leaving Phakding we cross the Dudh Kosi (Milk River) several times during the day, heading up valley toward the entrance of Mt. Everest National Park.  This is the main trail to Everest and is busy the first two days, but don't worry it will not stay this way.  After stopping for lunch along the river, we spend the rest of the afternoon on the long climb to Namche Bazaar.  At 11,300' Namche is a bustling village located at the crossroads between Tibet, Mt. Everest Park and the lower region of Solu Khumbu.  Camp will be set on a terrace overlooking Namche, surrounded on all sides by Himalayan giants!
