Kala Patthar means the ‘black rock’ in Nepali. It is the famous landmark located on the south ridge of Pumori in the Nepalese Himalayas with perfect view of Everest basecamp, Khumbu glacier, Khumbu ice fall, Hillary step and south col – above Gorakshep village. Hike of Kala Patthar is very popular with Everest region trekkers in the purpose of looking sunrise or sun set on the Himalaya range. Close-up view of infinite range of mountains including Mount Everest in around 10 kilometers distance is overwhelming from Kalapatthar summit.

Variation, Famous & Selected treks in Kalapatthar are – Short EBC kalapatthar trek/ EBC camping trek/ Phaplu EBC trek/ Jiri gokyo EBC trek/ Honeymoon heli trek to EBC/ Everest Three high passes trek/ EBC chola pass gokyo ri trek/ EBC trek/

Everest base camp trekking is often renamed as kalapatther trek. Kalapatthar and Everest basecamp are neighbors to each other, however from the base camp of Everest you cannot see Kalapatthar summit. The Panoramic views of Everest in the middle with Nuptse and Lhola on either side look spectacular from Kala Patthar and there are 1000s of infinite mountain range seen along with Mount Everest. Kalapatthar is the best view point of Everest base camp trekking adventure. Kala Patthar is the highest altitude most will reach without a climbing permit during their Everest basecamp, Everest 2 high passes, Everest base camp Gokyo ri trekking holiday in Nepal.

Climbing Kala Patthar begins at Gorakshep (5,164 m or 16,942 ft whereas the summit height of Kalapatthar is 5,545–5,550 m (18,192–18,209 ft). But in 2006 a university professor used so called precise GPS to measure the summit height of Kalapatthar and claimed to be 5,643 m (18,514 ft). After short climb from the Gorakshep we will get to open land and a helipad, this is where Everest base camp helicopter tour lands their chopper for photo break. In contrast descent is not hard at all for norm knees but if you have bad knees then descending is tougher than climbing up of Kalapatthar; people often descend on their butt.

Towards the end of the summit climb, the black rock reveals its secret and makes climbing difficult; both with high altitude and the rocks on the ground.

Many independent trekkers do not notice about climbing to Kalapatthar or ignore it with their tired body whereas the trekker in organized trekking trip goes for the best view of the entire trek.
