Day: Namche Bazaar - Aclimatizing Day: Namche Bazaar is a village
lying at the junction of the Dudh Koshi and a lateral valley that leads
to frontier pass of Nangpa La 5500 meters. It is tucked away in a "bowl"
at a height of 3440 meters. The first Europeans entered it in 1950 and
many more have come since then. However, the basic character of the
village remains unchanged. It has an airplane landing strip high above
and a temple with a stream of clear water flowing past it. Prayer flags,
inscribed with words "Om mani padme hum" flutter from every
rooftop and every house has a cottage industry where Yak wool is spun
and woven into carpets. Facilities like a bank, a post office, hotels
and shops where one can purchase climbing equipment as well as tinned
food have sprung up over the years. Namche Bazaar is the major regional
training center, and contains the headquarters of the Sagamartha (Nepalese
for Everest) National Park. There is plenty to do around Namche Bazaar
and a day should be spent here acclimatizing |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6
Day: Namache to Thame (3820m): This day is meant for acclimatization
and hence we do not embark on any serious trekking. Instead we go to
a slightly lower altitude of Thame, the birthplace of Tenzing Norgay,
the first man on Everest. We conduct some sightseeing of the monastery
there and generally rest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7
Day: Thame to Taranga –Lungden: Today we start our serious
high altitude trekking. We walk for about 4 hours through a stunning
landscape on an old trade route to Tibet to the village of Lungden.
This village has only one lodge and very aptly called the Renjo La Support
Lodge. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8
Day: Cross Renjo la Pass (5435m) to Gokyo (4750m: The big day
starts real early and it is a long day, as we have to walk about 5 hours
to reach the pass, going slow because of the high altitude. After a
brief stopover to enjoy the stunning beauty of the Everest Range and
take photographs, we start on a remarkably difficult downhill journey
for about 3 hours to reach the village of Gokyo walk along the stunning
and beautiful Dudh Kunda (milk lake). |

Day: Gokyo Ri (Gokyo Peak) Excursion return Gokyo The foot
of Gokyo Ri lies five minutes away from the stream the feeds the Gokyo
Lake. After two to three hours walk you reach the summit not to be disappointed
for your effort at all, as the views from here are well worth the effort
you put in. Everest (8848m), showing more of it's northern flank than
from Kalapatthar, with Makalu (8475m) further to the east and Cho Oyu
(8153m) towards the north make a mesmerizing view to watch. Return back
to Gokyo Ri after spending a wonderful break at the summit. |

again and leads you across the moraine, to the glacier which you must
cross. From here you can see a beautiful view of the icefall before
you reach Dzongla. |

----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13
Day: Lobuche – Kalapatter – Gorak Shep: After an
early rise have a short trek to Gorak Shep where we will have breakfast
and some tea before beginning the walk up to Kala Pattar. (5545m)A gradual
ascent enables you to build the slow, steady rhythm required when walking
at high altitude. From the lodge the ascent is quite steep, so start
very slowly and try to ascend at steady rhythmic pace. Our goal Kala
Patar, is the rocky hilltop below Pumori. It is a tough walk, but the
view from the top surpasses the wildest imagination. It will probably
take a good hour and a half to reach the summit from Gorak Shep, although
lower viewpoints will provide views almost as good. Pumori, Nuptse,
Changtse, Ama Dablam, Taweche, Kantega and Everest - the highest mountain
in the world, and some 200 metres below, the area of the Everest Base
Camp can be seen in a bowl at the bottom of the Khumbu Ice Fall. For
many trekkers, reaching Kala Pattar is a very emotional experience and
it is worthwhile spending as long as you wish to savour this special
moment. The descent back down to Gorak Shep evening we camp beneath
Kala Pattar at Gorak Shep |

Day: Lobuche -Pangbuche: From Lobuje we re-trace our steps
to Dughla: it seems much quicker and easier going down! From here we
take a different route from our ascent, following the wide alpine valley
covered in scrub juniper through to the temporary settlement of Phulung
Karpo (4343m), and then to Pheriche.There is also a Trekkers' Aid Post
here, supported by the Himalayan Rescue Association which, although
not manned year round, is well worth a visit if open. From Pheriche
we cross the Khumbu Khola and ascend a short steep trail to the top
of a small ridge for great views of the Imja valley, Ama Dablam and
Kantega. We then descend to the small settlements at Orsho and Shomare,
and then to Lower Pangboche to our Lodge |
