Today is dedicated to acclimatizing, which is necessary before heading to higher altitudes later on the trek.

We may also explore Namche Bazaar and check out the weekly market that takes place on Friday evening and on Saturday mornings.

Along the trail we come to Gorak Shep Lake and then to a memorial that honors Indian mountaineers who died while attempting to climb to the summit of Mt. Everest. Walking now is noticeably more physically demanding as a result of the thinner air at this high altitude. The trail has rocks, moraine and streams to cross before arriving at EBC. The first thing that you notice on arrival at EBC is the different array of colorful tents of mountaineers waiting for just the right conditions before a climb to the summit. From EBC we can plainly see Nuptse, Khumbutse and Pumori and the snow radiant on their peaks. After a short rest and look around EBC we then descend back to Gorak Shep for a well earned night’s sleep.

On reaching the summit of Kala Patthar we will be overjoyed as we take in the 360 degree views and the enormous and daunting Mt. Everest that appears right in front of you. This is a good time to have your camera out and take some incredible snaps of Everest that will be a reminder for years after you depart Nepal.
