1day
We fly from Kathmandu to the tiny airstrip at Lukla(2800m) for about 40
minutes. This airstrip was built in the sixties by Sir Edmund Hillary and
the Sherpas. Once landed, we have lunch while our equipments are sorted
out and loaded. We then take an easy walk to Phakding and camp.
As easy day again to help for acclimatization. This is a busy trail with
plenty of human interest. There are also tantalizing glimpses
of Kusum Kangru (6369m) through the beautiful pine forests and
we camp at Joresalee (2800m).
Not a long day but a hard pull up ton Namche Bazar to arrive for an early
lunch and our overnight camp. As we climb, we have our first
views of Everest (8848m) and Nuptse (7879m). We camp right in
the heart of the village and have the rest of the day to enjoy
the splendid Sherpa hospitality.
Rest and acclimatization day at Namche Bazar (3444m). We enjoy a rest
day here to allow for maximum acclimatization on our way to Everest
Base Camp. A pleasant day can be spent exploring the village,
talking to the Sherpas and simply enjoying and marveling at the
incredible scenery.
Today we walk along a very pleasant trail under the soaring peak to Thamserku
and steadily descending to the Imja river and lunch at Phunki
where there are a series of water driven prayer wheels. In the
afternoon, we climb steadily for about 2 hours to Thyangboche
Monastery (3875m) and the views from here are magnificent. The
Monastery is literally surrounded by mountains. Yaks graze on
the small meadow and the monks drone through their prayers. Surely,
this is one of the most beautiful spots in the world.
Rest and acclimatization day at Thyangboche. This is a day to relax and
enjoy the magnificent scenery that surrounds you. Everest Lhotse,
Nuptse, Taboche (6367m). You can visit the Monastery and the
monks will happily show you around. This is just the spot for
a rest day.
We move up the Imja river valley to Pangboche (3900m). We stop here for
lunch and visit the Monastery and look at the 'Yeti Sculpt'.
In the afternoon we continue on to the summer village of Dingboiche
(4360m). The scenery all day is superb.
Another rest and acclimatization day at Dingboche. This rest and acclimatization
day should give you an excellent chance of ascending Kala Pathar,
the Base Camp of the Everest. From these yak herders' village,
there are a number of interesting excursions. A 2 hours walk
to the huts at Chukung (4700m) will take you to the glaciers
flowing off Nuptse and Lhostse. We camp at the foot of Amadablam.
We walk up a small ridge and then contour around the base of the Khumbu Glacier
and have a light lunch at Dhungla (4600m) From here, we have a short
steep climb to the terminal moraine of the glacier from where the views
are stunning. We contour round the moraine again to camp at the foot
of the Lobuje Ice Fall (4930m).
Today, we climb Kala Pathar. The actual distance is not so far but we take
it very slowly to compensate for the altitude stopping at Gorekh Shep
(5288m) for a light lunch. We then take the climb to Kala Pathar (5545m).
This is a hard pull but the view from top surpasses anything you can
imagine. All around us flow huge glacier ice. The mountains of Pumori
(7145m), Lingtren (6697m) and Khumbutse (6623m) separate us from Tibet,
and just over the Lho La pass. We see the huge rock of Changtse (7550m)
in Tibet itself. But the queen of them all- Sagarmatha (Everest) towers
over everyone. This is the Roof of the World. We return to Lobuje at
our camp.
We retrace our steps along the glacier to Pheriche (4260m) and stop for
lunch. In the afternoon, we take the lower trail to Pangboche
and Thyangboche and camp.
Descending to Imja river we climb to Khumjung for lunch. Excellent views
all day and camp at Khumjung (3779m).
Descending, pass through Namche Bazar passing under the towering Kongde
ridge (6186m) and follow the Dudh Koshi to Phakding to camp.
We walk to Lukla and enjoy a farewell party with our Sherpa crew.
Fly back to Kathmandu.
