As part of your acclimatization, you will take a short trek to a museum celebrating Sherpa customs. Here, you will also get your first glimpse of Mount Everest, seen behind a large statue dedicated to Tenzing Norgay, Tenzing is regarded as one of the bravest and most heroic Himalayan climbers of all time!

Take a picture of yourself with these beautiful boulders!

It may not be very long compared to other glaciers in Europe but what makes it interesting is the Khumbu Icefall! Walking along the Khumbu Glacier and up to Everest Base Camp is a challenging walk.
