Day 5 – Acclimatization

Route: Namche Bazaar → Everest View Point → Namche Bazaar

Start altitude: 11,286 ft (3,440 m)
Highest point: ~12,729 ft (3,880 m)
End altitude: 11,286 ft (3,440 m)
Distance: ~2.4 miles (4 km) round-trip
Elevation gain: ~1,443 ft (440 m)
Estimated walking time: 2–3 hours

After breakfast, we’ll head out for a gentle acclimatization hike above Namche. The pace will be slow and intentional, allowing the body to adjust to the increasing altitude.

The trail climbs gradually toward the Everest View Point, offering clear views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam on a good-weather day. We’ll take our time, pausing often to hydrate, rest, and take in the surroundings.

We’ll have lunch at the Everest Hotel before descending back to Namche.

The afternoon is free to rest, journal, explore Namche, or relax at the lodge. This down day is an important part of the acclimatization process.\

Optional: Foot massage

Accommodation & Dinner: Khumbu Lodge
