Lukla and Namche Bazaar (seven photos)

Kathmandu. Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, Lukla and Namche markets are places usually bustling with tourists, trekkers and mountaineers. These places, considered to be the main gateway to the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park, are often bustling.

But sometimes these places can look deserted due to weather, off-season or special circumstances. Such a scene reveals a different side of the Himalayan settlement. The secluded conditions highlight the natural beauty and local life of these places. Although not crowded, the importance and attraction of Lukla and Namche bazaars remain the same.
