Today has been allocated to the process of acclimatizing, which is necessary before heading to the higher altitudes later on the trek. Health experts say that we should be active during this time in order to better acclimatize. We have several options open to us. We can trek to Thame or visit Khunde. The third option is to explore Namche Bazaar and check out the weekly market that takes place on Friday evening and on Saturday morning. Your guide will be with you and will take you to the Tourist Visitor Center near to the headquarters of the Sagarmatha National Park that has a fascinating display of apparatus and relics of the first Everest climbers. You can also learn about the flora and fauna of the region.

The trail also provides some stunning mountain views as we gradually climb higher to 3860m at Tengboche Village, famous for its decorative wall hangings and 6 meter Buddha, Tibetan musical instruments and vivid Lama robes. A highlight of visiting here will be witnessing and taking part in the evening prayer at the monastery that is relaxing and calming to your soul.

Today is a relatively less physically demanding day with an easy trek to Dingboche – except for the last part where we have to climb a steep hill which acts as a reminder that trekking at higher altitudes is more physically tiring. We will first pass through the villages of Somare (4010m) and Orsho. Further down the trail we come to a fork and take the left trail that leads to Pheriche Village and then cross a bridge before that steep ascent to Dingboche Village (4410m) that has several good lodges for us to choose from.

We continue to head higher to Chupki Lhara that has an array of stones with prayer flags placed as a memorial to climbers Scott Fischer (American) and ten-time Everest summiteer Babu Chiri Sherpa (Nepalese guide) who died while trying to climb Everest. As we head to the Khumbu Glacier moraine a number of huge peaks stare right at us: Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori, and Mahalangur Himal. This scene will leave you captivated!

We are getting closer to our ultimate destination and slowly head to higher elevations passing Gorakshep Lake and then further on arriving at a memorial that honors Indian mountaineers who have died on Mt. Everest. Walking now is more physically tiring as a result of lesser oxygen at this altitude. The trail is over rocks, moraine and streams prior to reaching EBC. The first thing that strikes us on arrival at EBC is the colorful array of tents of mountaineers waiting for the right conditions before attempting to climb to the summit. From EBC we have plain and uninterrupted views of Nuptse, Khumbutse and Pumori with snow glistening on their peaks. After a rest and look around EBC we return to Gorak Shep for a well-earned night’s sleep.

Upon reaching the summit of Kala Patthar we will be overjoyed as we absorb the 360-degree views and the enormous and looming Mt. Everest that appears right in front of you. Now is a camera moment and opportunity to take some awesome snaps of Everest that will be a reminder for years after you have left Nepal. We will then head to Pheriche for the night.
