We will initially pass through the villages of Somare (4010m) and Orsho. Further along the trail we meet a fork and take the left trail that heads to Pheriche Village, then cross a bridge before that steep climb to Dingboche Village (4410m) that has several suitable lodges for us to choose from.

We are slowly getting closer to our ultimate destination, gradually heading to higher elevations passing along the way Gorak Shep Lake and then further on come to a memorial that honors Indian mountaineers who have died on the mountain. Walking now is more physically taxing as a result of the thinner air at this altitude. The trail has rocks, moraine, and streams to cross prior to reaching EBC.

Upon reaching the summit of Kala Patthar we will be ecstatic as we take in the 360-degree views and the immense and looming Mt. Everest that appears right in front of you. Now is the time to have your camera out and to take some awesome snaps of Everest that will be a reminder for years after leaving Nepal. We will then descend to Pangboche for the night.

Next, we have to cross a bridge over the Dudh Koshi River and down a rapid descent through the gorge and pine trees to Sansa Village. In this leg of our journey, it is possible to see various animals, such as mountain goats, snow leopards (elusive), and the vivid colored pheasants – Nepal’s national emblem.
