		NAMCHE BAZAAR, Nepal, May 27 (IPS) - In the heart of Namche Bazaar, the village that is the unofficial capital of the Everest region, yet another lodge is being built.
		Ever since Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Edmund Hillary first conquered the world's highest peak in 1953 and tourism took off, peaking in the 70s and 80s, Namche Bazaar has turned into a trekkers' paradise that boasts of modern amenities like laundry services, bakeries with mouth-watering goodies, and half a dozen cybercafes.
		In the past 50 years, Namche's oldest man and his 88-year-old wife Pemba Lhaki have witnessed an economic revolution that has transformed this impoverished potato-growing and portering community -- located at an altitude of 3,440 metres -- into one of the world's most famous tourist destinations.
