🌿 Cultural Note
The Khumbu region is home to the Sherpa people, whose lives are deeply intertwined with Tibetan Buddhism. Trekkers should respect monastery etiquette by removing shoes before entering, walking clockwise around mani stones and chortens, and refraining from loud behavior near religious sites. Asking permission before photographing locals is considered respectful. Acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar provide a wonderful opportunity to explore the local market and learn about Sherpa heritage.
