A historic museum at Namche displays ancient artifacts and extensive cultural monuments of Sherpas. This is a good place to learn about the history of mountains and their connection to the Sherpas. Moreover, a side hill trip at Namche will reward you with the unparalleled views of the Everest and its surrounding peaks.

When the farmers plowed their field, they separated the rocks and stones from the soil and kept it on the side of their fields. Later, these stones got piled up one over the other to form a long and beautiful stone wall. The broad base of these walls, somewhat, makes us believe this mythical story.
