From the trail you get marvelous views of Island peak and Lhotse. You lie surrounded by huge mountains, rolling glaciers and glacier moraines. A handful of lodges lie scattered on a desolate but beautiful landscape.

Chukkung lies below the Island Peak Base Camp and during climbing season it’s usually filled with climbers attempting to summit Island Peak. Head to a teahouse and take rest. Tomorrow is a big day as you will be crossing Kongma La, the first and the highest of the 3 passes. Overnight in Chukkung.

Follow the well-defined path up the mountainside for the first view of Kongma La. You hike across rock and scree to reach the top of the Kongma La Pass. From the top you can enjoy panoramic views of Mount Everest, Gauri Shanker, Pumori, Makalu and the frozen 8 mile long wall of Nuptse and Lhotse.

After taking in the views head down. It is a steep descent over boulders and loose rocks. Mind your step and walk carefully. You are walking on the Khumbu glacier and there are crevasses you should be careful of. You can actually hear the glacier moving, the ice shifting below. The stark and bare landscape has a beauty of its own, and you can’t help taking pictures, however tired you may feel.

Today you hike to Everest Base Camp, one of the milestones of your trek. Though the trail is not that difficult, the walk is not easy. High altitude makes it difficult to take each step. Take deep breaths and keep your breathing and pace steady. Don’t walk too fast. It’s better to maintain a slow rhythm. Drink lots of water and keep yourself hydrated.

You stop at Gorak Shep, have refreshments and some rest. You leave your stuff at the teahouse and continue your hike to EBC. Walk along the amazing Khumbu Glacier. The landscape devoid of greenery and filled with frozen icicles, snow, dirt and pebbles and rocks feel out of this world. It feels as though you are in the midst of a sci-fi movie.

Your arrival at Everest base Camp fills you with exhilaration. You have reached one of the highest hiking destinations of Earth. Celebrate with your team mates and take pictures. You can see the massive wall of the Lhotse, Western Cwm, Nuptse and the Khumbu Icefall.

The summit of Mount Everest is too high to be seen from the base camp. On the far side there’s a rocky valley where camps of Everest summiteers are set up (if it’s climbing season). Soak in the sights and take more pictures before heading down to Gorak Shep.

The day had been tiring and it’s great to snuggle in the warm comfort of your bed. Have an early night because you have another eventful day tomorrow. Overnight in Gorak Shep.

Enjoy panoramic views of Mount Everest, Pumori, Nuptse, Lhotse etc. While the summit of Everest is not visible from Everest Base Camp, from Kala Patthar you can enjoy close up view of the summit of the world’s tallest mountain. The early morning sun lighting up the snow covered peaks in a golden light is a sight you will cherish forever.

Take pictures and head down to Gorak Shep. Have breakfast and later head down to Dzongla. It is mostly downhill and in a short while you arrive at the village. Overnight in Dzongla.

Walk across the Cho La glacier, which looks magnificent. You may have to wear crampons or spikes at some icy sections. Walk on a flat terrain for some time and later take the final ascent up to the top of the Cho La Pass. Enjoy fascinating Himalayan views of glaciers and mountains and later take a steep descent.

The descent is equally tough through more rocky and boulder strewn portions. Use your trekking poles to steady your legs at steep sections. Walk down on a grassy slope just before you reach the settlement of Thaknak, your overnight stop for today. Overnight at Thaknak.
Day 12 Day 12: Trek To Gokyo (4,790M/15,715Ft) Walking Distance: 3-4 Hours (4 Km) Trek
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Enjoy close up view of Cho Oyu, the 6th highest mountain in the world from the trail. Walk on the glacier. Ngozumpa Glacier originates from Cho Oyu in Tibet and rolls down to the Nepal side. The glacier feeds the Dudh Koshi River and the Gokyo Lakes.

Be careful where you step because there are crevasses at places. Crossing glaciers and mountain passes alone is risky and you will be glad to have our knowledgeable guide with you to accompany on this hazardous section.

Your first sight of Gokyo lying on the bank of the heavenly third lake, Gokyo Tsho, also known as Dudh Pokhari, will leave you spellbound. It is a beautiful sight to behold and you feel invigorated after the long trek to gaze at such a beautiful sight. Head to a teahouse and take a well-deserved rest. Overnight in Gokyo.

Depending on your pace it will take 2 to 3 hours to reach the top and about an hour to descend. Enjoy the magical view of the emerald Gokyo Lakes and 360 degree Himalayan panorama – Cho Oyu, Mount Everest, Makalu and the Tibetan peaks.

Take pictures and head down. If you still have some energy left you can stroll around the lake area. Overnight in Gokyo

The trail goes up and levels out. With barren rocks, no sign of vegetation and craters, you feel as though you are taking a moon walk. Colourful prayer flags marking the path add colour to the landscape.

Trek to the top of Renjo La pass. Compared to Kongma La and Cho La, Renjo La’s traverse is by far the easiest of the 3 passes. From the top of the pass you can enjoy heart stopping views of Makalu, mount Everest, Rolwaling Range, Gyachung Kang and other peaks.
