After breakfast, We move towards the airport for our flight to Lukla, the first checkpoint of our trip to the Everest. And after a 3-4 hour trek from Lukla, we reach Phakding where we are supposed to spend the night to prepare ourselves for our grand trek.
From Phakding, we walk towards Namche Bazaar, our second destination of the Gokyo Everest Base Camp Trek. Passing by Rimshung Monastery and Uchhecholing Monastery, we climb up along the trail and visit Sagarmatha National Park. You can have the internet access here. Moving forward, we cross Larbha Dobhan and taking a further step ahead, we will witness the first view of Mount Everest. Climbing up the path, we are finally at Namche Bazaar.
Namche Bazaar is the main gateway to Everest, you will find colorful Khumbu villages, Banks, Money Exchanger, Internet café and overall all the facilities you can find in the city. On Saturday, a special market appears here, people come here to sell their products and buy things necessary for them. Our accommodation would be in a tea house or lodge on full board basis.
This day is the rest day as we need enough time for acclimatization; however, if you are willing to hike for some time then we take you to famous Everest View Hotel that takes around 3 hours to catch glimpses of Mt. Everest. On our way back, we'll visit Hilary and Sherpa museum. You will get teahouse or lodge accommodation in full board basis.
Our trek to Dhole begins from Namche as we follow the trails via Khyangjuma with few short up and downs. A little ahead from Khyangjuma, comes Sanasa, where shines our beautiful giant peak, Mount Everest. The trek is quite strenuous as we need to cross Mong La, a wonderful land residing on the lap of Mt. Khumbila. We continue down to Phortse Thanga, and little further from here appears the Dhole National Park Check Post. Tasting the Flora and fauna of this region, we pass by some waterfalls and enter Dhole. Dhole is a small settlement with few tea houses. We stay in a teahouse at Dhole for overnight where we get full board meals.
From Dhole, we climb up steadily to Lhabarma following the Dudh Koshi River. The pathway till Lhabarma is steep and full of thorny bushes. The trail offers a dynamic view of Cho Oyu, Kantega, Thamserku and we reach Luza, a small charming village at an altitude of 4360m. Again, we ascend to Machhermo via Luza that lies at an altitude of 4360m. The track is full of sand spurs, and as we reach Machhermo, the beautiful stream flowing down from Kyajo Ri and Phari Lapche leading to Dudh Koshi River is seen. The valley, high above the river, also consists of the Himalayan Rescue Hospital, the hospital provides with classes for altitude sickness, causes, prevention techniques and treatments. We stay in Machhermo at night where your accommodation would be on full board basis in teahouse or lodge.
Finally trekking to our main destination, Gokyo, we climb through the Chorten ridge and reach Phangga. An avalanche occurred here in the year 1995. The valley so beautiful at the bottom of Mount Kantega and Thamserku can be seen nicely from here. Also, the northern part of Mount Cho Oyu residing at height of 5200 is simply overwhelming.
Gokyo has always been famous for the sparkling Lakes and mountain. Taking in the glorious view of Mount Chadoten and Ngozumba Glacier, we arrive at the First Gokyo Lake called 'Lonspunga Tso' lying at the height of 4710m. This azure lake and the rays of sun over it is much too eye-catching. The Lama footprints on the stones are also something to notice here.
After ascending for a while, we reach the Second Lake, Taujung Tsho residing at 4728m with its shimmering beauty. Moving little further from the second lake, the third lake, Gokyo Tsho (4734m) appears right in front of us.
Cherished by the lake views, we step ahead for Gokyo village, standing on the edge of third Gokyo Lake. Wakened by the charming beauty of these lakes, we spend the night at Gokyo in a lodge where your accommodation would be on full board basis in teahouse or lodge.
The day is for our important point of trekking i.e. acclimatization, without it, the travel would be hectic and a disaster. In order to familiarize with the altitude and environment here, we take rest. But, if you are still interested in hiking, we explore Gokyo at its best by traveling towards Gokyo Ri, the famous peak lying at 5483m. Filled with excitement and bliss, we walk to find the fourth (Thonak Tsho) and fifth (Ngozumba Tsho) lake. From the fifth lake, Cho Oyu Base Camp and the world's biggest Ngozumpa glacier is seen in its perfection. The sixth lake Gyazumba Tsho at the bottom of the Cho Oyu can also be hiked if you are still keenly interested to explore more.
On the way down to Gokyo, we trek to Gokyo Ri (5483m). Gokyo Ri another magnificent point to view the mountains like Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cho-Oyu, Gyachung Kang and Makalu gleaming in our eyes. After the excitement being fulfilled, we trek down to Gokyo and stay here for an overnight. Your accommodation would be on full board basis in teahouse or lodge.
Walking through the Ngozumpa glacier, hearing the sounds of the falling iced rocks into the small glacier lake, we start our trek towards Thangnak early morning. In sunny days the ice melts and it becomes more difficult to walk. With some ups and downs, we reach Thangknak. We climb uphill towards Cho La Phedi and return to Thangnak where we stay for overnight. Your accommodation would be on full board basis in teahouse or lodge.
Today's trek is a tough one as we need to cross Cho La Pass (5420m). We climb uphill and reach a glacier traverse on the eastern side that needs to be crossed carefully as there are slippery iced rocks. Upon reaching Cho La Pass, a dazzling view of Ama Dablam and Cholatse is seen. There are chances of rock falling over here as well. We move downwards and little further from Cho La, there lies a danger crevasse, also the path is slippery which makes the crossing a difficult one. Taking in good precaution, by the use of crampons, we move down towards and arrive at Dzongla.
From Dzongla, the view of the north face of Cholatse is awesome again and we stay overnight here. Your accommodation would be on full board basis in teahouse or lodge.
After hot breakfast at the lodge, an easy downhill for a while and few up and down to the Lobuche. After refreshment looks around Everest glacier and overnight at the lodge at Lobuche.
Initiating our trek to Everest Base Camp, the height of our destination, we move straight forward with rocky dunes, moraines and memorials of Indian Armies. Also, we find the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. With mountains like Nuptse, Khumbuste and Pumori appearing around you, we reach the Everest Base Camp. If you are here on trekking season, you will find mountaineers who had their temporary climbing set up at the base camp. Accomplishing the trek to the height of 5364m, we descend towards Gorakshep and stay there. Your accommodation would be on full board basis in teahouse or lodge.
The trek to Kala Patthar starts early morning as we are to witness the first light over the Mount Everest from Kala Patthar. The sunrise this beautiful and adoring is rare to experience. There are chances of chilly wind as well. So, we head towards Kala Patthar (5550m), a well-known destination to spot Everest view. Not just the Everest, but also, Ama Dablam, Kangtega, Thamserku and Taboche view is simply awesome from here. Beautiful Changri Nup Glacier and Changri Shar Glacier are marked from here. You will plunge into the enchanting views everywhere around.
After spending a good time here, we descend to Gorakshep and again head down towards Pheriche walking along the previous path till Dughla. As the path is downwards, it is quite easy to complete the journey. With the view of Cho La glacier on our way, we reach Pheriche and stay an overnight here. Your accommodation would be on full board basis in teahouse or lodge.
Pheriche to Namche is also an easy going route as it involves descending through the path. The route is surrounded by stone walls, you will then pass Jignang Kharka, Pheriche Pass and head down towards Orsho crossing the Imja River. We then reach Pangboche where a famous Pangboche Gompa exists. Then, we head down towards Deboche, where the office of National Park and a health post exists. Stepping over the stone steps, we reach Tengboche and visit the Tengboche Monastery there. If we visit Tengboche during the full moon of November or December, the Mani Rimdu festival can also be seen that depicts the culture of the people living here. On our way to Namche, strolling along the rhododendron and juniper trees, we enter the place called Phunke Thanka, where an army barracks lies. We cross the well-decorated bridge over Dudh Koshi River and trail descends through pine forests. Then, we reach Sansa where we will notice wildlife of snow leopards, mountain goats, pheasants and others. Heading from here, we reach Khyangjuma and little further from here is the first viewpoint of Ama Dablam, Lhotse Shar, Taboche, Kangtega and Thamserku. Descending towards Namche, we find Tenzing Norgay Stupa and finally arrive at Namche, our destination for today. Your accommodation would be on full board basis in teahouse or lodge.
Walking down from here, we pass the Everest viewpoint and Larja Dobhan. Following back the same trail towards Lukla via Phakding and the same glorious views as well the Sherpa valleys around, we step in Lukla. Coming nearer to the point of beginning of this wonderful journey, we enjoy the last memories of our trek with verdant greeneries all around. We will stroll around the Lukla and also reconfirm the flight ticket on this day. Rejoicing the very last moments of our Everest Base Camp Trek via Gokyo, we celebrate and have dinner with the crew members. We stay in a hotel at night where you will get meals on full board basis.
