Approx. 8 hours of walking from Phakding to Namche Bazar is interesting with crossing of 5 suspension bridges across the same river. The name of the river is Dudh Koshi which translates as milky river in Nepali. Today’s hike is gradual in the beginning and at the end it gets steep after the last & highest bridge.

Today’s hike is acclimatization hike, main motto of the hike up to Everest view hotel is to walk higher and sleep lower. We start our hike after breakfast at our guest house and visit national park museum and visit Everest view hotel. After having sip of tea at EVH we will continue our hike to Khumjung monastery.
If you do not want to continue Khumjung village it will take 3 hours for entire hike but if you continue to Khumjung or Khunde village side trip will extend to 4-6 hours, to decide whether you want to hike up to Khumjung village or not, please do read our blog.

5hours of walk from Namche to Tengboche is gradual walk on the side of the towering mountains. Mt. Amadablam gets really close once we get to Tengboche monastery.
Do not forget to buy necessary thing at Namche before you leave this village, as possibility of finding necessary things beyond this point is tough. Tengboche is originally a monastery place but now it has 5 tea houses with one bakery. Monastery here has foot print of lama sange Dorje while he was meditating many years ago.
This monastery has historic and religious values and belief among Buddhist and this monastery also observes many Buddist festivals in the mountains like; Mani rimdhu, Lhosar, Dumji and many other. Regular offering to monastery happens every morning and evening.

Today’s trekking starts though Rhododendron forest, hits Deboche village near Imja river. After crossing Imja River we will get to last real village of the region “Pangboche”. After Lunch at Somare the trail can be windy so be prepared with wind stoppers. For your information we will get to no tree zone from today till the way down after peak climbing.

General idea of today’s activity is to acclimatize our body with altitude, so we hike up to Nangkarsang peak and sleep down at Dingboche. If you go 500 meter from Dingboche and spend around 20 minutes at higher altitude is okay for acclimatization. But we are happy to take you all the way to the top at 5100m which is 4 hours of walking one way. Way down is steep, make sure you are walking carefully and please follow our guide for your safety.

Lobuche village at the height of 5000meters is a small village. We will hike towards Lobuche after breakfast at tea house in Dingboche; hike will take around 5 hours to Lobuche village. Today’s walk is special as we will walk on the side of the towering mountains and trail is wide and scenic. Thukla pass and memorials at the top of the Thukla pass is attraction of today. Do not miss to visit world highest Bakery at Lobuche with sun-setting at Mt. Nuptse right in front of you.

3 hours to Gorakshep and a lunch break will continue hike to EBC after checking in guest house at Gorakshep. Hike to base camp and back to the tea house will take another 5 hours.
Do not forget to share even a single problem with us during today’s hike, as 1 meter makes a lot of difference in this high altitude. Drink more and do not lose your appetite to avoid AMS and small headaches.

It will take 2 hours to get to the top of Kalapatthar and view of base camp and Khumbu glacier can be screened at once from the top. Kalapatthar being really close to Mt. Pumori will give great view of Pumori ice fall and Chumbu glacier on its foot. After getting back from the top of Kalapatthar, we will have breakfast and head towards Lobuche village for another adventure to Lobuche peak climbing.
The journey to Lobuche follows the same trails that we too on our way up but it will take around 3 hours to get back to Lobuche Village.

High camp of Lobuche is on the top of a big rock, the view of river valley seen on the side of Pheriche is awesome. Take slow steps and drink more water as you might not drink enough in tomorrow’s climb.
Today’s trek will be approx. 7 hours to high camp. We will sleep in the tent and eat the food cooked by our kitchen staff.

We will start today’s adventure all the way to top, which will take approx. 8 hours to top and 5 hours down to Thukla. Climbing guide will assist your climb and he will make sure the ropes are properly anchored and everything is fixed string.
From the summit you will see great view of Khumbu glacier, Everest right in front of you and many other mountains. Do not be over excited at the top, strictly follow our guide.

Thukla to Namche will take approx. 8 hours. We will follow the same trail from our way up to EBC. Treat yourself at Namche, a semi civilized town in the mountain.
