The 4th of the Everest base camp trek is typically an acclimatization and rest day at Namche Bazaar. Namche Bazaar is situated at an altitude of 3,441 meters (11,290 ft) and it is essential to spend a day here to give your body time to adjust to the altitude before continuing on to higher elevations. Altitude sickness can occur when ascending too quickly to high altitudes, and it is important to take the necessary precautions to prevent it.
During the acclimatization day, you can take a short hike to a nearby viewpoint to get a better view of the surrounding mountains and to help your body adjust to the altitude. A popular option is a hike to the Syangboche Airport, which offers panoramic views of the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest, Mt.Nuptse, Mt.Lhotse, Mt.Ama Dablam, Mt.Thamserku, Mt. Kongde, and many more.
Another option is a visit to the nearby Khumjung village, home to the Hillary School and the Hillary Memorial Museum, dedicated to Sir Edmund Hillary and his work in the region. The school was built by Sir Edmund Hillary and provides education for local Sherpa children.
In addition to sightseeing and hiking, you can also take the opportunity to rest and recover from the previous days of trekking. You can visit local shops, purchase souvenirs or try some local food, and enjoy the local culture. Namche Bazaar has several restaurants, cafes, and shops selling trekking gear, and you may find some things you need for the rest of your trek.
It is also important to stay hydrated and to drink plenty of water to avoid altitude sickness. You should also avoid alcohol and smoking as it can worsen the symptoms of altitude sickness.
The Benefit of Acclimatization.
Acclimatization is the process by which the body adapts to changes in altitude and helps to prevent altitude sickness. When ascending to high altitudes, the body needs to adjust to the lower levels of oxygen in the air. Acclimatization allows the body to do this by increasing the efficiency of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
The following are some of the benefits of acclimatization:
- Increased oxygen-carrying capacity: The body produces more red blood cells to carry oxygen to the muscles and organs, which helps to reduce fatigue and improve overall performance.
- Improved lung function: The body adjusts the breathing rate and increases the efficiency of the lungs to extract oxygen from the air.
- Reduced risk of altitude sickness: Acclimatization reduces the risk of altitude sickness, which can range from mild symptoms such as headache and fatigue to severe symptoms such as High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) and High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE).
- Increased endurance: The body becomes more efficient at using oxygen, which allows trekkers to trek for longer periods of time and cover more distance.
- Better sleep: The body adjusts to the lower levels of oxygen at high altitudes and improves the quality of sleep, which allows trekkers to wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the next day.
It is important to note that acclimatization is a gradual process and should not be rushed. It’s crucial to take the necessary precautions and to spend sufficient time at lower altitudes to allow your body to adjust before continuing to higher elevations.

The Benefit of Acclimatization.
Acclimatization is the process by which the body adapts to changes in altitude and helps to prevent altitude sickness. When ascending to high altitudes, the body needs to adjust to the lower levels of oxygen in the air. Acclimatization allows the body to do this by increasing the efficiency of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
The following are some of the benefits of acclimatization:
- Increased oxygen-carrying capacity: The body produces more red blood cells to carry oxygen to the muscles and organs, which helps to reduce fatigue and improve overall performance.
- Improved lung function: The body adjusts the breathing rate and increases the efficiency of the lungs to extract oxygen from the air.
- Reduced risk of altitude sickness: Acclimatization reduces the risk of altitude sickness, which can range from mild symptoms such as headache and fatigue to severe symptoms such as High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) and High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE).
- Increased endurance: The body becomes more efficient at using oxygen, which allows trekkers to trek for longer periods of time and cover more distance.
- Better sleep: The body adjusts to the lower levels of oxygen at high altitudes and improves the quality of sleep, which allows trekkers to wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the next day.
It is important to note that acclimatization is a gradual process and should not be rushed. It’s crucial to take the necessary precautions and to spend sufficient time at lower altitudes to allow your body to adjust before continuing to higher elevations.
