We start strolling on the same undulating trail we had left the earlier day. On this day we walk on the trail, carved on the hills, on the bank of Dudh koshi river. Several times we cross rustic suspension bridges to walk on the left and the right banks. The beautiful river side Buddhist settlement intermingled with sparse forest of Rhododendron, pine and fir is the main attraction of this day. We get the first glimpse of Thamserku 6608m, on this day. The final ascent to Namche Bazaar through sheer, crisscross and pine scented trail is the most difficult section of the day. In this section of the trek you will also feel the thin air kick in. On a clear day Namche offers the distant yet nice view of Mt. Everest

We take a rest day to acclimatize to the high altitude and explore Namche, its culture, and the surrounding areas. Namche is an interesting town with terrace-like settlements that resemble an amphitheatre. It is the most vibrant and largest town along the trail. To remain active and avoid falling asleep during the day, we hike to the Hotel Everest View, situated at an altitude of 3,880 meters (12,729 feet). This remarkable hotel offers breathtaking panoramic views of Everest and other Himalayan peaks. It holds the Guinness World Record for being the highest-placed hotel in the world, providing a unique experience for visitors. After returning to Namche, we relax and enjoy the view, preparing for the next day’s trek.

On this day the trail initiate with gentle ups and downs but every spur we take towards Tengboche seems to bring the mountains closer. As we make our way on the trails through the forest of Rhododendron we have to keep our eyes open for Himalayan Tahr and Musk Deer. The final 2 hours ascent is the most demanding section of the trek but we encounter water charged mani wheels and view of mountains which helps fuel us to walk further. We arrive at Tengboche which is a wide open grassy flat land where resides Tengboche monastery; famous and one of the largest in the Everest region.

On this day we leisurely walk down hill at first and slowly start scale on the trail beside the Khumbu stream for almost 3 hours, until we reach Dingboche. We get gorgeous view of Island peak 6189 m, Peak 38 (7,591m) and Lhotse (8501 m), towards the right of Dingboche. We call it a day here and rest for the night.

Dingboche is a lovely place; even at such altitude it receives prolonged sunrise and the wind blows more calmly , compared to that of Periche. We spend a day in Dingboche which is a must to acclimatize. In order to acclimatize it is very important to stay active throughout the day and the idea is to not fall asleep in the daytime. We trek to Nagarjun Peak, which offers incredible views of the surrounding mountains, including Lobuche East, Lobuche West, Kangtega, Thamserku, and Ama Dablam. The climb to Nagarjun Peak helps our bodies adjust to the altitude while giving us a chance to enjoy the stunning scenery.After returning, we have lunch and spend the rest of the day taking photographs, playing card games, or coming up with our own games to pass the time.

Ascending from the very first moment, we make our way through small patches of village with splendid views of twin peak Taboche and Periche, above a barren created by vanished glacier. The trail further surpasses gravelly ridges which showcases the views of Ama Dablam and Kantega. We take a utter nerve wrecking uphill to a memorial that commemorates mountaineer who lost their lives in 1996, this is the most difficult ascend of the day. Further we ascent with the view of soaring Thamserku in front. We reach Lobuche and spend a night here.

It is very important to be careful on this day as we may feel the signs of AMS (acute mountain Sickness) but cautiously we head towards Gorak Shep. initially we follow the narrow gap between glacier moraine and the mountain. We make a very small but difficult climb to more technically difficult moraine with the first sighting to Gorakshep. Gorak Shep, situated at an altitude of 5,180 meters (16,995 feet), is the last settlement before Everest Base Camp. Everest Base Camp (EBC), located at 5,364 meters (17,598 feet), is the starting point for climbers attempting to summit Mount Everest. It offers breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and the Khumbu Icefall. After reaching Everest Base Camp and taking in the stunning views, we trek back to Gorak Shep to spend the night.

Early in the morning, we hike to Kala Patthar, which stands at 5,545 meters (18,192 feet). Kala Patthar is a flat area and a rocky outcrop that offers some of the best views of the Everest region's Himalayas. It is highly recommended to visit Kala Patthar for panoramic views of Everest and the surrounding peaks. Many people choose to visit Kala Patthar in the morning, but this is not always ideal due to the obstructed view caused by the sunrise behind Everest. After enjoying the stunning views, we return to Gorak Shep for breakfast. After breakfast we hike to Everest base camp on this day before we descend to Pheriche. We make a very nominal ascent of 200m this day but it is very technical and takes almost 3 hours. We start our trek early at around 6 am to our destination which is a semi-permanent village made out of bright dome tents and boulder covered by prayer flags. Everest base camp is the hub of mountaineers who are waiting for green signal to climb further up, the view of the mountains are spectacular but Everest is not visible due to the towering mountains upfront. After spending brief moments in base camp we trek down for another hour to Gorakshep and further down to Periche in Next 3-4 hours.

Although we start early and it is all descend from Namche to lukla, it is claimed to be the hardest downhill in the entire Everest base camp route. The remorseless incline makes it difficult on the knees but there is always an option to slow down the pace and stroll easy.

It’s the final day in Everest region where we reconfirm our flights and enjoy the party like atmosphere amongst the trekker who has finished their trek.
