DAY 3
KATHMANDU-LUKLA-PHAKDING
In the morning, you will catch a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, the
duration of which is 30 minutes. This quaint town in the Solukhumbu district
is located at an altitude of 2,886m and has its own airport. After arriving,
you will begin the trek from Lukla to Phakding (located at an altitude of
2,640m), which will take you three hours approx. The entire route is dotted
with tea shops, lodges, hotels and general stores. The trek begins by
climbing the mountain side on the left bank of the River Dudh Kosi, which is
also known as Dudh Kosi and Sapta Kosi. Located in eastern Nepal, it is
formed by seven rivers which come together in east central Nepal. From here,
you can enjoy the spectacular views of Nupla Peak, which proclaims its
greatness at a height of 5,885m approx. After spending some time here,
descend from a path in the mountain which meets the trekking route to Mt.
Everest. During the descent, your eyes meet the sight of a valley located to
the right, with Mt. Kusum Kang visible in the distance. It is locally known
as Kusum Kanguru, which means the three snow white gods in the language
spoken by the Sherpa community in Nepal, after its three summits. It is
considered to be one of the most difficult mountains for climbing. As you
continue the trek and pass the Mani Wall (a stone wall inscribed with
Buddhist mantras which is placed alongside the road in Buddhist countries),
you get closer to River Dudh Kosi. The trek continues along a path
punctuated with several climbs and descents until you reach Phakding.
Overnight stay at Phakding.
PHAKDING-NAMCHE BAZAAR
Your trekking holidays in Nepal promise to get even more exciting and filled
with adventures on this day. The trekking route on this day will start from
Phakding and end at Namche Bazaar, with its entire duration being four
hours. The distance between the two points is almost 10.4 km. Besides
offering you with spectacular views along the way, this trek also lets you
acclimatize to the thin air as you make your way to higher altitudes. You
will also cross several high suspension bridges along the route. The
landscape which greets your eyes along the way is characterized by cliffs
and gorges. There is plenty of action and adventure to be had. A major
attraction of this trek is the magnificent view of several mountain peaks
like Mt. Kusum Kangru, Mt. Thamserku, Mt. Kongde Ri and Mt. Taboche. If you
feel like, you can also visit the various monasteries in the villages during
the trek. Finally, you reach Namche Bazaar, located at an altitude of
3,440m. It is the main trading center of the Khumbu region and
interestingly, most of the Sherpas of Nepal hail from this area. The entire
village comes to life during the weekly market which is held on Saturdays.
It attracts Hindu traders from the lower areas of the region as well as
Tibetan yak caravans looking to sell their goods. Overnight stay at Namche.
NAMCHE BAZAAR-KHUMJUNG
This day is all about sightseeing and getting a brief cultural glimpse into
the lifestyle of the people living in the Nepal Himalayas. Depart from the
village of Namche and go along the small trail located above the River Dudh
Kosi. Stop for some time and take a look at the views surrounding you here.
The western side of the river is marked by the Nupla ridge and Mt. Kongde
Himal. Mt. Thamserku marks its dominating presence to the south, while to
the east, Mt. Lhotse and Mt. Nuptse, overlook the valley at Dingboche. And
crowning all of these is Mt. Everest, appearing like a divine vision in the
distance, once again reminding you of the infinite beauty of nature. Strain
your eyes a little more, and you can see the monastery of Tengboche
Monastery, its white color starkly contrasted against the gigantic brown
mountains. The monastery, which is also known as Dawa Choling Gompa, is
situated at an altitude of 3,867m and is the largest monastery in the Khumbu
region of Nepal. Make your way to the village of Khumjung. These villages
are quite different from those found in Namche. Even after years of tourism,
the lifestyle of the Sherpas has remained unaffected. Getting a glimpse of
their way of life is a privilege. During your stay here, you can try a
delicious Sherpa speciality called Riki Kur. You have the afternoon to
yourself and can utilize it for further acclimatization. Overnight stay at
Khumjung.
DAY 6
KHUMJUNG-PHORTSE THANGA
Your trekking holidays in Nepal on this day starts with a delicious
breakfast. That is followed by a descent to the west of the village which
ultimately leads to River Dudh Kosi. On this route, you will be turning
north and taking the road that is mostly used by trekkers to reach Tengboche
and Everest Base Camp. There are two routes marking the first leg of the
trek. The first one is the yak trails which rise graciously and aren’t so
steep, while the other trail, built of rocks which have been placed in an
opening in a large boulder, is quite challenging. However, the two trails
soon meet after a while with the route leading to a large stupa, or chorten,
which sits atop the ridge at a height of 3,973m. From the top of the ridge,
the trail gradually makes its way down in a series of steep slopes marked by
sharp bends all the way to River Dudh Kosi. Finally, you have reached
Phortse Thanga. Overnight stay at Phortse Thanga.
DAY 9
DOLE-MACHHERMO
On this day, you will be making your way from Dole to Machhermo, with a lot
of adventure trekking making your day an exciting one. From Dole, the trail
keeps ascending until it touches the village of Lambara, situated at a
height of 4220m, and Luza, at 4360m. In most of the places, you will find
the climb to be particularly steep even as it makes its way through shrub
junipers, as they appear to dance in the wind. The route keeps going upwards
along the side of the valley until it reaches the beautiful village of
Machhermo, located at a height of 4410m. This village is extremely popular
among trekkers on their way to Sagarmatha (highest point of Mount Everest)
as it allows them to stop for rest and refreshment. An interesting tale
circulating in the village is that of a Yeti attack in 1974 which killed
three yaks along with a woman belonging to the Sherpa community. The
village, which stretches itself luxuriously between two enormous mountains,
is as beautiful as any you will ever come across. Stay overnight at
Machhermo.
MACHHERMO-GOKYO
On this day of the Gokyo Lower Everest Trek, you will follow the trail which
reaches out and finally comes to an end at a ridge. This place offers
mesmerizing views of the valley spread out below, as well as that of Mt.
Kantega, which is located at a height of 6782m and Cho Oyu (which is the
sixth highest mountain of the region and is situated at a height of 8188m).
Once you cross the ridge however, the valleys begins to open itself. The
trail now cuts its way through Mt. Pangka, located at a height of 4390m.
Then, it makes a graceful descent till the river bank before rising again to
the terminal moraine of the Ngozumpa Glacier. This part of the trek promises
to be quite challenging. Climbing the moraine challenges your endurance and
stamina, but the sheer thrill and adventure that it provides is certainly
worth it. The zigzagging road along the stream crosses a lake whose
elevation is 4650m. This lake is famous for being home to the Brahminy
ducks. As you go further, the trail gradually loses its steepness and
continues that way all the way to Gokyo. Situated at a height of 4750m, it
is one of the highest settlements in Nepal and the world. The views are,
like always, something to talk about. Overnight stay in Gokyo.
DAY 10
GOKYO CHO GAYUMA-DZONGLA-LOBUCHE
Today’s trek begins with the descent from Gokyo and passes through the
second lake. Between the first and second lakes which lie along the route,
the trail leads across the moraine to the east. Here, you will pass Cho La,
also known as Chhugyuma. It is a summit pass located at a height of 5420m in
the Solukhumbu district, and connects the village of Dzongla in the east to
Thagnak in the west. The pass is steep and also involves a glacier crossing
on the eastern side. You will have to utilize various equipments for
negotiating the small icefall located at the foot of the glacier including
ice axe, rope and crampons. The western approach to the pass, however,
differs in degrees of difficulty. Under any circumstances, the pass is not
suitable for the use of yaks and heavily laden porters. You will be spending
a night at Chhugyuma and Dzongla on the other side of the pass. Your trek
continues along the moraine, with views of Mt. Kala Patthar and Pumori.
Finally, you reach Lobuche, a small settlement located in the Khumbu region
of Nepal near to Mt. Everest. Located at a height of 4940m, it is used as a
crossing route by sherpas and hundreds of porters. This will be the last
stop for the day before you begin the climb for the base camp tomorrow.
Rest, relax, recuperate and utilize this time for acclimatization. Overnight
stay at Labouche.
DAY 12 – 13
DAY 14 – 15
LOBUCHE-GORAK SHEP-EVEREST BC-GORAK SHEP-LOBUCHE
Trekking in the Himalayas begins early in the morning. Since the trek begins
quite early in the morning, you can expect it to be challenging and
demanding, both physically and mentally. You will take the route which lies
above Lobuche and runs alongside Khumbu Glacier. The terrain here is quite
rough and steep, but full of adventure and excitement. Continue trekking
till you reach Gorak Shep. Situated at a height of 5164m, it is a frozen
lakebed covered with sand, and also the name of a small settlement situated
on its edge. It serves as the final stop for most trekkers on their way to
Everest Base Camp from Lukla. Here, you will take a short break to rest and
recharge your body with fluids. After walking again for about an hour and a
half, you finally reach Kala Patthar. Kala Patthar, which means black rock
in Nepali language, is located on the southwest ridge of Pumori above Gorak
Shep. It is a very famous landmark and the only place which provides the
clearest and closest view of Mt. Everest. When you stop and take a look at
the surroundings, you are instantly reminded that it is for moments such as
these that you undertake trekking expeditions. Apart from the heavenly
views of Mt. Everest, you are also surrounded by enormous glaciers. On the
south lies the Khumbu glacier, while the north is marked by several mountain
peaks including Lho La (At a height of 6006m, it is the lowest point of the
west ridge of Mt. Everest). It is interesting to know that Mt. Everest was
recognised as the highest peak on earth in 1852 and was named Everest in
honor of Sir George Everest, who was a British surveyor and geographer.
After spending some time taking in the beauty of this place, return to
Lobuche. Stay overnight at Lobuche.
LOBUCHE-TENGBOCHE
Today’s trek promises to be less challenging than yesterday, although
certainly not lacking in excitement and adventure. The route which you will
follow today is located mostly on lower altitudes. It starts by following
the wide alpine valley dressed in shrub junipers which is home to a small
settlement called Phulung Karpo (enjoying an elevation of 4343m). Then, it
makes its way to Pheriche. Pheriche is a small sleepy village located in the
Khumbu region of eastern Nepal. There are several tea houses dotting this
place, along with low stone buildings which mostly serve the purpose of
summer settlement. The trek then continues to Orsho followed by Lower
Pangboche (Pangboche is a village located in the Solukhumbu district of
Nepal. There is a monastery inside the village which houses a Yeti scalp and
hand. It is inhabited mainly by members of the Sherpa community). From here,
make your way to Deboche (a village inhabited by members of the Sherpa
community) before finally reaching Tengboche. The village of Tengboche,
situated at a height of 3867m, is home to the Tengboche Monastery, the
largest monastery in the Khumbu region. Situated on a ridge, the village is
enveloped by colossal Himalayan peaks. Built in 1916 by Lama Gulu, the
monastery is overlooked by the mountain peaks of Everest, Tawache, Lhotse,
Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Thamserku. Surrounded by ancient mani stones, it is
popular among tourists for its exquisite paintings which date back to the
14th century. The tranquility in the monastery does much to uplift tired
minds. You can explore the monastery and even meditate for a while, it it
appeals to you. Overnight stay at Tengboche.
DAY 16
NAMCHE-THAME-NAMCHE
Your day starts with a healthy breakfast, a perfect start to a perfect day.
After enjoying your breakfast, set off for a hiking trip of three hours to
explore the village of Thamel. Located in the Solukhumbu district of Nepal,
this village, so many other villages in this region, is inhabited by members
of the Sherpa community. One of the most famous Sherpa mountaineers in the
world, Apa Sherpa, who holds the record for climbing Mt. Everest 21 times,
also resides here. It is also interesting to know that this village was also
the home of Tenzing Norgay, who, along with Sir Edmund Hillary, was the
first man to climb Mount Everest. Here, you will visit the famous Thame
monastery. The monastery is believed to have been built around 350 years
ago, in the steep hillside, and was built at the same time as the other
monasteries in the region like Pangboche, Rimijung and Kerok. This monastery
is also famous for hosting the Mani Rimdu festival. After visiting the
monastery, you can also explore the village and get a glimpse into the
lifestyle of the people. Return back to Namche. Overnight stay at Namche.
