Beyond Tengboche the landscape enters the steppes where the altitude starts increasing beyond the 4,000m mark. The trail droops down to Dingboche.

Day 08: An explore day in Dingboche and climb Nagarsang (5100 m.)

Dingboche is a beautiful patchwork of small fields enclosed by stone walls protecting the crops of barley and potatoes from the cold winds. It is occupied mainly through the monsoon months, when large numbers of yaks are brought here to graze in the valley pastures. Behind the lodge the huge rock faces of Taweche seem to soar to the heavens. We will advise a short excursion up the valley towards Nagarsang or Chukkung is a worthwhile option. The views are fantastic in this valley; the towering south face of Lhotse to the north, Island Peak in the centre of the valley and the fluted ice walls of unnamed peaks that line the southern end of the valley.

Day 09: Dingboche to Lobuche (4930 m.)

The trail climbs to Duglha at 4620m. From Dughla the trail ascends the broad, gently slopping valley and climbs steeply in to the terminal moraine of the Khumbu lacier then left in to the memorial area for people that passed away in the Everest Expedition at Chukpilhara, before reaching Lobuche (4930 m).

Day 10: Lobuche to Gorakshep (5160 m.)

The trail climbs to Duglha at 4620m. From Dughla the trail ascends the broad, gently slopping valley and climbs steeply in to the terminal moraine of the Khumbu glacier then left in to the memorial area for people that passed away in the Everest Expedition at Chukpilhara, before reaching Lobuche.

Day 11: Visit Everest Base Camp (5364 m.) and back to Gorakshep

Early morning we walk to Everest Base Camp, visit base camp area and walk down to Lobuche. From the Everest Base Camp you can see the north face of Mt.Everest, the famous Khumbu Ice Fall, Lhotse and Nuptse.

Day 12: Visit Kalapatthar and trek to Dzongla (4843 m.)

Early in the morning trek to Kala Patar (5545m) to experience sensational sunrise views from this amazing vantage point. From the lodge the ascent is quite steep, so start very slowly and try to ascend at a steady rhythmic pace. Kala Pathar is the rocky hilltop below Pumori. It is a tough walk because of the altitude, but the view
from the top surpasses the wildest imagination. Returning back to lodge and
having breakfast we set off to Dzongla. From Lobuche we follow the Lobuche Khola downstream where, after a while, we take a trail to the right heading off towards Dzongla.

Day 13: Dzongla – cross Chola Pass to Thangnak (4700 m.)

The day begins very early in order to reach the top of the pass in the best possible conditions. From Dzongla we ascend steeply on a narrow trail passing large boulders and huge rock slabs and keeping to the left of the main glacier. There are
a number of cairns lining the route to the snowfield and, while the trail is well defined, it does involve a little scrambling. Once on the snowfield the angle eases off and we soon reach the top of the pass (5420m), where the views are spectacular and include Baruntse (7220m) and Ama Dablam, as well as view of lesser peaks.Do not wander around the snowfield as there are crevasses and we may need to rope up for the pass crossing! The descent from the pass is steep and care should be taken as we follow the narrow rocky trail down to the Nymagawa Valley, After lunch we cross rocky screed and boulders and ascend the short distance to a small saddle that leads downhill all the way on an easy trail to the huts and tea houses at Thangnak.

Day 14: Thangnak to Gokyo (4791 m.)

We head off towards the Ngozumba Glacier where we do a touch of boulder hopping as we pass small glacial lakes. The views are astounding as we enjoy different views of the Gokyo Valley as Cho Oyu and adjacent mountains bordering Tibet loom to the right. The trail then reaches the second lake of Gokyo, where we can see Brahmin ducks swimming in pairs and feeding on algae. From the second lake it takes another 45 minutes to reach the settlement of Gokyo where we spend
the night.

Day 15: Hike up to Gokyo Ri and back to Gokyo (4791 m.)

Those who have opted for the morning views at Gokyo Ri have to rise early for an ascent of Gokyo Peak (5360m), while others can have a late breakfast and possibly take an optional walk up the Gokyo Valley to enjoy further magnificent scenery.

Day 16: Gokyo to Dole (4240 m.)
After explore Gokyo valley and Gokyo lakes, most of the trail goes down gently to Dole. People who likes to take alternative route to Phorche Village it turns east and climb across the terminal moraine of the Ngozumpa Glacier to Na (4400 m.) near by Phanka. On the way we have still chance to see numbers of mountains
around.

Day 17: Dole to Namche Bazaar (3440 m.)

From Dole the trial starts descending steeply to Photse Tenga (3650m.) passing through rhododendron forests. Then the path immediately ascends steeply to Mongla Danda (4000m.) and gently descends up to Kyanjoma (3500m.) following
small ups and down to the Namche.
