The Ama Dablam Team is resting and will be ready to go uphill soon. Our 3X3 and 2X2 Teams checked in this morning as well. The 3X3 has arrived to Namche in good shape and in time to visit the Market.
The Namche Bazaar is one of the oldest markets in the world. The original trade destination for everyone from Tibet and the low lands of Nepal. The people from these different regions load up and bring their goods to Namche to trade and sell. The market continues to this day and is always a fun stop on the Trek.
Our 2X2 Team is one day behind in Dole today. They are also moving well and looking forward to reconnecting with the 3X3 Team tomorrow.
All is well in the Khumbu Valley!
