After a couple of hours walk on a steep trail, we will reach Namche Bazaar, the famous settlement of Sherpa people and the gateway to the Everest base camp.

So, we will explore Namche Bazaar. Khunde Hospital set-up by Sir Edmund Hillary, Everest View Hotel, the local market, and the lifestyle of people are some things worth observing. Namche Bazaar offers a fantastic view of the Himalayan peaks like Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Everest. There is a small museum giving you information about Sherpa people, culture, religion and other things related to mountains.

After walking for a couple of hours from Pangboche we will reach the Dingboche village for an overnight stay.

Today, you can rest or explore around the village for acclimatization. 

We will have an acclimatization hike up the ridge above Dingboche to have a close up view of Mt. Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, and Makalu. 

We continue up the wide valley beneath the impressive peaks of Cholatse and Tawoche on the left. We then turn right and take a steep climb towards the foot of the Khumbu Glacier. The tea house at Duglha is a good spot to have lunch.

En route to this climb, there are many stone cairns, built as memorials to the Sherpas who passed while climbing Mt Everest. The path then climbs gently along the glacier, to eventually reach the cluster of houses at Lobuche.

Today we will follow the Khumbu Glacier to reach Kala Patthar. We will walk in the not so well defined trail for 4 hours until we reach Gorak Shep for lunch. After lunch and a brief rest, we will walk up to the finest viewpoint in the Khumbu region, Kala Pattar [5643]. We will hike down and have an early dinner so that we can prepare well by taking much-needed rest for tomorrow’s trek to the Everest Base Camp.

Today is the day you have been looking forward since last one and a half week. Today we will continue our walk through ice pinnacles and past the crevasses of the Khumbu Glacier. On the return leg, we can take a higher route to get a spectacular view of the Khumbu icefall and the route to the South Col. We return to either Gorak Shep or Lobuche.

We will walk downhill for most of the day to Duglha and descend to Pheriche today before we reach Pangboche for an overnight stay.
