      Heading towards Namche Bazaar, we cross through the hamlets of Zamphute and Tok Tok, with the dazzling Thamserku glistening in the sun, accompanying us for much of our trek. Passing through the scenic Sherpa villages of Benkar, Chumoa, and Monjo, we reach Utche Choling Gompa, perched on a bluff overlooking the Dudh Koshi river. Continuing along the bluff, we arrive at the entrance of Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

After crossing the bridge, the trail climbs past water-powered prayer wheels and begins a sustained ascent through a forest of tall, mature rhododendrons.


      We might see musk deer and Himalayan tahr among the trees as we follow the path that leads to a kani and a pair of chortens, marking the start of Tengboche village.

      Following the Imja Khola, we climb towards Shomare village. Beyond the treeline, we walk through alpine terrain with yak pastures and herdsmenโ€™s stone huts at Orsho and Tsuro Wog.

      Today will be a long and challenging day. We start by walking through grassy terrain and scattered boulders, with the snowy walls of lofty mountains ahead. A 60m (200ft) ascent takes us to the top of the Changri glacierโ€™s lateral moraine wall, reaching Thangma Riju. Here, we enjoy a spectacular 360-degree panorama of peaks including Taboche, Lobuche, Pumori, Mahalangur Himal, Changtse in Tibet, and Nuptse on the eastern horizon.


      The trail crosses the Changri glacier moraine, which joins the Khumbu glacier from the west. After a steep climb up a stony slope, we reach Gorak Shep and catch our first glimpse of Kala Patthar. From Gorak Shep, we head towards Everest Base Camp (EBC), walking by the shallow blue waters of Gorak Shep Lake, with Changtse peak in Tibet and the Lho La depression straight ahead.

The slow, tough ascent is rewarded with stunning panoramic views of Everest.
