Namche Bazar is an impressive village because of the terraced buildings and at the same time the "entrance" to the higher mountains of the Himalayas. In the narrow streets you can tell that it was a former trading metropolis, because small shops lined up. If necessary, you can buy mountain and trekking equipment here, should you miss something else.At the entrance to the village, you might meet women washing their laundry in the river that flows through the village. Otherwise, there is a bustle. Almost like a very small Kathmandu :).
