Everest Base Camp & Lobuche: Wedel & Team Descend to Namche Bazaar

April 2, 2025

Posted by: Jess Wedel

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Everest BC Trek and Lobuche

Elevation: 11,300'

We woke up in Pangboche and headed back on the trail. Descending hills, crossing bridges, ascending hills and descending more until we made it to Namche Bazaar.

We passed our final yak trains (only mules and zopke below Namche) and many teams looking fresh as they headed in the valley.

We got an early start so we had the afternoon in Namche to shop for final gifts - yak bells, yak wool scarves, customized hoodies and more.

Tomorrow we have one final big day of trekking until we reach Lukla.
