Our trek starts from Lukla (2,762m.), following up the Dudh Koshi river valley towards Namche, the Sherpa capital of the Khumbu region. After taking 1-2 rest days to get acclimatised, we continue toward famous sherpa villages like Thame, Khumjung and Theso-Thama. We also visit interesting monasteries of this region and the Khunde hospital, established and supported by Sir Edmund Hillary?s Himalayan Trust. The view from this area is superb including Thamserku (6,623m.), Kwangde (6,011m.) and Amadablam (6,812m.) soaring towards the sky-line. The Area being National Park itself, boasts of its varieties of flora and fauna - The spectacular wet rhododendron forests are interspersed with other various species. ?Rhododendron? the national flower reaches heights of 18-19 metres and ranges in colour from white, Pinkish Red and Blood Red.

We climb Kala Pattar (the ?Black Rock?) or the Gokyo Ri (5,483m.) at Gokyo, to view the Western shoulder of Mt. Everest (8,848m.), Lhotse (8516m.), Nuptse (7855m.) and far away Makalu (8463m.). We continue on toward Na and Phortse to join the main Everest trail at Pangboche. Pangboche is another famous sherpa village which has produced many internationally claimed mountaineers. After taking a day?s rest at Pheriche, we continue toward Khumbu glaciers stopping at Lobuje and Gorakshep (5,160m.).

..... We will climb another Kala Pattar (the black rock) 5,545 metres, to get the close-up view of the Mt. Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse. Changatse in Tibet is also visible from the summit.

We also have the option to visit Everest Ice fall or Expedition Base Camp, depending on how fit we are when we are at Gorakshep. Return journey is made via Dingboche, Tengboche (a famous monastery site much highlighted in the media by photographers, journalists and the heritage societies), Namche, and finally to Lukla to conclude this Mt.
