If you are in Namche, you must try to take a trip to the Sherpa Museum. It's a very short hike from the town, but it's worth it - You will not only get to see a slice of Sherpa culture, but will also get to see some great moments in stories from the Everest region. Lakhpa Soman ji is an amazing photographer and if you are lucky you might get to meet him.

    Can't be missed
    This museum is full of sherpa culture. This is a good place for all trekkers to go as it informs all us trekkers of the sherpa culture and how it has changed over the years. They take alot of pride in the sherpas that have summited Everest and each one has there picture on the 'hall of fame'.

    Learn About the Sherpa People and the Khumbu Region
    I visited the museum twice while in Namche. The museum details the natural history of the region, as well as the history of the indigenous people. The displays offer clear English explanations and are well thought out. There are also some historical items on display that provide a glimpse into the Sherpa home life. Not to be missed is the view from outside the museum. The Everest Panorama fills the horizon and there is statue of Tenzing Norgay. Don't miss the small monument that contains two stones from the Dead Sea in Israel to mark the lowest and highest points on the planet.
