We spend the day acclimatizing, which is essential before heading to the higher altitudes later on the trek. Health experts strongly recommend that we should remain active during this time in order to better acclimatize. We have several choices. We can trek to Thame or visit Khunde. We can also choose to explore Namche Bazaar and check out the weekly market that takes place on Friday evening and on Saturday morning.

Today we trek toward our destination and gradually head to higher elevations passing Gorakshep Lake and then further on arrive at a memorial that honors Indian mountaineers who have died on Mt. Everest. Walking now is more physically demanding 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 patiently waiting for the right conditions before attempting a climb to the summit. From EBC we have endless views of Nuptse, Khumbutse and Pumori with snow glistening on their peaks. After a short rest and look around EBC we return to Gorak Shep for a good night’s sleep.

At the summit of Kala Patthar, we will be ecstatic as we soak up the 360-degree views and the looming sight of Mt. Everest that appears right in front of you.
