Willie, Matt, Kike, Jake and Mike are enjoying a rest day in Namche Bazaar today, where we spend two nights to allow the body to adjust to a sleeping altitude of 3440m, before we move on up towards the higher valleys.

Namche is a chance to soak in some local culture, hike high, catch a glimpse of Everest from the Everest View Cafe or Museum, and of course enjoy some amazing coffee (Willie!) at the Java or 8848 Cafe! and the last really hot en suite shower, at least until we get our Base Camp fully set up!

The team are following the itinerary here: http://benegasbrothers.com.vm01.mindset3.com/n/everest-base-camp-trek/2515

“Why not make the best investment you can?”

“I have been climbing big mountains for 20+ years. Having been on multiple Himalayan expeditions, I will never consider another guide or outfitter other than BBE moving forward. They lead the pack from a logistics, infrastructure, food quality, personal attention, and safety perspective by a WIDE margin. Willie is not only an extraordinarily strong, capable, seasoned guide, but he is also a great expedition leader and teammate who manages to keep the atmosphere light, fun, and inclusive despite the serious nature of Himalayan climbing. Most of us only have one chance at Everest. Why not make the best investment you can, choose BBE! ”
