Meet up with the Sherpa guides and porters before heading towards Phakding. The porters’ loads are organized here, in Lukla. The journey passes through Dudh Koshi (“Milk River”), and finally reaching to Phakding.
Namche Bazaar is the main administrative and trading center for the Khumbu region. With the inclusive of magnificent forests of blue pine, fir, juniper, and rhododendron as well as the first view of Everest, it helps you to control the anticipation of the thrilling journey.
To adapt to the altitude and new surroundings we acclimatize in Namche Bazaar. We spend the day hiking by enjoying the scenes of mountains and sunrise and sunset in Khumbu Peak. Besides that, you will either be taken to explore Thame Monastery or Khumjung village.
The trek from Namche to Tengboche is unbelievably stunning, Far below is the Dudh Koshi and Thamserku, Kantenga, Ama Dablam, Lhotse and Everest rises in front. Woods, Rhododendron Forest, Mani Walls, Chorten (Stupas), and suspension bridges across the rivers make this a lovely walk.
Continue trek to Dingboche. From Dingboche we can enjoy the scenic views of Ama Dablam, Dingboche is the only place in the region where barley is produced. Tame pheasants are regularly seen in this area.
The ascent towards Everest Base Camp continues through Alpine meadows and summer yak pastures towards the end of the moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. At the moraine, there are stone monuments to six sherpas who died in an avalanche, as well as monuments to other climbers. From here, it is a steep, tough climb towards the village of Gorak Shep. Continue on towards Lobuche, where the view is straight towards Nuptse and the sunset is truly magnificent.
The higher altitude makes this day’s trekking quite challenging. The Changri Glacier looms ahead as the trek heads for Gorakshep, a small, usually frozen, lake, by lunchtime. Relax and get adjusted to the altitude before the attempt to reach Everest Base Camp.
You can see a different view of Everest today, with a trek up to Kala Pattar. Known to have the best views of Everest, this is a challenging trek, but worth it on a clear day. Begin the descent from Kala Pattar, heading for Pheriche. This is not the most challenging of hikes, but the altitude can make the many uphill sections below Gorakshep seem tough. Stop to look around; the views are quite spectacular.
Today we trek back to Namche which takes us around 6 hours. Enjoy the surroundings and meet local peoples.
The final day of our trek returns back to Lukla. Relax after the rigorous adventure and reflect on the challenges just undertaken.
