landscapes and culture that Kingdom of Nepal has to provide too.
Day 1 – Fly to Lukla and trek to Phakding
Everest base camp trip begins with early scary flight by little
aircraft takes you to Lukla, exciting flight with a glimpse of Everest in the
distance. once landing in Lukal your
treks goes long the river valley for your first night's stop at Phakding.
Phakding is a little commercialism village on the banks of the Dudh Koshi river
and there are a unit variety of teahouses to stay overnight.
Day 2 – Trek to Namche Bazaar
After the breakfast follow the banks of the Dudh Kosi river
countinue crossing the suspension brodge few times you will reach the Monjo and
inter into theEverest national park. After crossing 3 more suspension bridge
the trek then climbs steeply for about 2-3 hours upwards to namche bazzar an
altitude of 3440m. Namche Bazzar is commercialism city and the capital city of
the everest region.
Day 3 – Acclimatizition Day
Today you can do some side trip or short hiking and explore
around.
Day 4 – Trek to Tangboche
After rest day at Namche, the trail goes around the side of
the valley and this is an amazing trekking day as you can see beautiful
mountain include Everest.The trail passes a couple of villages with teahouses
until crossing the Dudh Kosi river for a steep climb to Tangboche , Tangboche
is religious place for Buddhiest people and there bog and old and the majestic
Buddhist religious residence before dropping backpedal to remain nightlong
during a riverside lodge.
Day 5 – Trek to Dingboche
Day 6 – adjustment day at Dingboche
Acclimatisation is important during a high altitude mountain
surroundings and every day is spent at Dingboche prior to ascending the higher
section of the Khumbu valley.
Day 7 – Dingboche (14,500 ft) to Lobuche (16,200 ft)
The trail to Labuche from Dingboche is really more of a wide
open valley, providing spectacular 360 degree views and free reign to hike
anywhere in the valley and away from the yaks. This was a welcome change as the
constant need for proper yak positioning on the narrow trails is annoyingly
stressful. A small bump, kick, or gore resulting from placing oneself on the
wrong side of the trail between a yak and a canyon gorge could make for some
difficult phone calls. The one disadvantage of the wide open valley was that
there was nothing to stop the howling wind, which roared at our backs and had
us pulling out our down jackets during the day for the first time.
After Thukla, steep climb up to a quasi-cemetery, where
make-shift graves commemorate deceased mountaineers, mainly victims of nearby
Everest and Lhotse. Then up the start of the valley that leads to the Khumbu
Glacier, the famed glacial formations and deposits of rock and ice that mark
the broad trail that leads all the way from here to Everest Base Camp.
Day 8 – Lobuche (16,200 ft) to Everest Base Camp (17,600 ft) to Gorak Shep (16,900 ft)
Up a big hill and then “Nepali flat” up and down for another
3 or so hours brought us to Gorak Shep, the last village before Base Camp.
B basically everyone is sick from the altitude, food
poisoning, stench of human feces, or some combination thereof. At 16,900 feet,
it’s just shy of the magic “17,000 foot” mark above which scientists have yet
to find evidence of any permanent human establishment because humans are just
not supposed to be up that high.
As we inched closer to our goal, the summit of Everest snuck
into view. For most of the trek after Tengboche, Everest is hidden by Nuptse
and Lhotse. We were both in awe of everything at this point. We were so close
to the base of Everest and had put so much into getting there. And yet the
summit seemed so incredibly far away. It was humbling.
A few minutes later we were surrounded by the colorful
Buddhist prayer flags that designate Everest Base Camp!
Standing in the valley at the base of the highest mountain
on Earth, we soaked up the moment, taking in the beauty, mystery, and
desolation of the place. At the very end of the valley, on the border of Nepal
and Tibet, 7,000 meter peaks surround the Base Camp of Everest’s famed southern
climbing route, as if to create a theatre for the brave souls who gather in the
valley below every spring and risk their lives attempting to summit the world’s
highest peak. I couldn’t help but chuckle – no architect could have created a
more fitting design for such a magnificent place.
Mission accomplished but there is still something to do for
next morning hike to kalapattar for the awesome views of the mountains and
glaciers.
