Namche Trail Everest Base Camp Trekking



     Namche the trail leads enticingly towards the heart of the highest mountain landcape on earth a dramatic scene of ice-chiselled peaks and glacier- scoured valleys. In the shadow of these mountains, villages have a stark and solemn kind of beauty looking out over an inflexible land where agriculture is at its most basic where husbandry of the soil appears at first to have progressed no further than the 16 th century when the first sherpas came over the mountains from Tibet. The humble potato staple of their diet, was brought here in the 1830s, and its introduction is reckoned to have been one of the most significant events in Sherpa history- until that is khumbu was opened to western influence in the 1950s.
