We have quite an easy trek to Phakding. This trek takes us through farming lands of the Sherpas and passes through several villages on the trail. Nowadays, many Sherpas make their living solely from providing support to trekkers. We will also pass by many mani stones, which are stones carved in Tibetan script, and of course, you will see loads of prayer flags along the trail.  We then arrive at our lodge on the banks of the Dudh Koshi River.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Acclimatization Day At Namche Bazaar.

      Before climbing to higher altitudes it is necessary to acclimatize.  Health experts recommend we stay active and moving during the rest day. Today we can choose between taking a hike to Thame or visit Khunde, or relax and explore Namche Bazaar โ€“ the home to many Sherpas employed in the trekking business. Namche Bazaar is the main centre of the Everest (Khumbu) region and has government offices, ATMs, Internet cafes, shops, restaurants, a bakery, and a vibrant market each Friday evening and Saturday. If we decide to take a vertical trek during the day it will help us to properly acclimatize. Our guide will also take us to the Tourist Visitor Center close to the headquarter of the Sagarmatha National Park where we can see a variety of artifacts related to the first Everest climbers, learn about the Sherpa culture and the many flora and fauna of the Everest region.

On the trail, we pass numerous Chortens and Mani walls and several small villages and will stop for lunch at a village with a reputation for serving delicious food. In the afternoon we head north to Pheriche or alternatively can follow an eastward trail beneath the towering north face of Mt Ama Dablam. The trail is fairly easy-going as we enter the Imja Valley that slowly widens as we get nearer to the Lobuche River. We will then head down to the river and then have a steep climb heading up to Dingboche. Dingboche is unusual in that its fields are surrounded by stone walls, protected them from grazing animals and strong winds, with crops of barley, buckwheat, and potatoes. Tonight we stay at Dingboche.

  • Day 7 Day 7: Acclimatization Day At Dingboche.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

After reaching Gorakshep we are blessed with a jaw-dropping panorama of the surrounding snow-covered peaks, including Mt. Everest. Upon reaching Mount Everest Base Camp we have time to wander around and ponder over how the early mountaineers felt when considering their climb to the summit.
