Day: 7 Khumbu

Day: 7    Following the mountaineer's adage, "climb high and sleep low", we'll spend a second night in Namche for the purpose of acclimatization.  At first light we'll walk up on the ridge above camp for our first glimpse of the magnificent panorama which includes Mt. Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam.  After breakfast a good portion of the day will be devoted to hiking and exploring the neighboring villages of Khumjung (12,434') and Khunde (12,598').  Returning to camp in the afternoon, there will be ample time to spend in Namche.
