Day 06: Trek to Thame, 3820m We start trekking from Namche bazaar towards Thame. Thame is at the far end of
the Khumbu valley, and you may feel it is also almost the ends of the earth! The local inhabitants are still untouched
by modern civilization. We go past the large prayer flags, the entrance monument, Chorten and the carved Mani
stones. Overnight stay at guesthouse. Included Meals (B L D)
Day 07: Trek to Lungdeng, 4500m The trail to Lungden today passes though ancient Sherpa villages with stone
walls encircling them, such as Tarang. This is a dry area, so the flora and fauna is different than what you have seen
so far. We may also have to share trail with Tibetan yak caravans, as this is a trading route from Namche to Tibet.
Overnight stay at a simple lodge at Lungden. Included Meals (B L D)
Day 08: Rest day: Trekking around Lungdeng Today we rest in preparation for a big day tomorrow. We visit the
Nakpa valley, the old trade route to Tibet, and take a short hike to the nearby Darkyachhulung peak and Lake Cho
Relmo. Overnight stay at guesthouse Included Meals (B L D)
Day 09: Cross the to Gokyo Lake The trail starts out with steep ups and downs over rocks before leveling out to
Yak Kharkas (pastures) and Twin Renjo lakes before reaching the sandy ridge of Renjo La pass. We cross a frozen
stream and scramble over boulders on the way down to reach Gokyo Lake. Overnight stay at guesthouse. Included Meals (B L D)

Day 10: Trek to Thagnag 4990m In the morning we climb for around two hours up to Gokyo Peak, 5360m. This is a straight-
forward, but steep climb and also tiring, due to the altitude. It will be worth the effort, as this is one of the best panoramic
views in the Khumbu. From the rocky summit, four peaks over 8000 metres can be seen: Everest, 8848m, Cho Oyo, 8153m,
Lhotse, 8511m and Makalu, 8481m and other awesome peaks.
From here we follow the lateral moraines and walk for two hours on glacial scree across the Ngozumpa glacier, a series of ups
and downs. After crossing the glacier we reach the yak herders' huts and tea houses of Thagnag. Overnight stay in guesthouse.

Day 11: Cross and descend to Dzonglha This day will be a big challenge. You should carry at least 2 liters of water,
as it is impossible to buy in this area. We have to start early morning, between 4:30-5:30. The first two hours we have
a steep climb up to yak pastures, which we call the Chola High Camp, though there aren’t any houses there, rather
you will see Buddhist prayers flags blowing in the wind. The next 1.5 hours is not so steep, but because of loose
stones and uneven ground, we recommend that you use walking sticks, be careful and take the advice of our guide.
The ascent to the snowy Cho La pass is very steep and it will take about 2 hours. From the pass, there is a superb view
of Dzonglha Valley and its lake as well as the impressive North face of Jobo Lhaptshan, 6300m. The descent to
Dzonglha, on the Cho La glacier is an endurance test. Overnight stay at guesthouse. Included Meals (B L D)
Day 12: Trek to Lobuche Base Camp, 4865m, 2 hrs The trek from Lobuche village toward the Lobuche Base
Camp starts out with a gradual incline at a relatively low altitude and quickly becomes steep and rocky when we reach
teh Lobuche Glacier. You will enjoy great views of Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pokalde, Thamserku, Kantega and others.
After a lunch at Lobuche Base Camp and a couple hours to rest, our guides will provide training on peak climbing
techniques; they will teach you how to use climbing gear: ice axe, climbing boot, harness, jummar, and ropes used at
the summit. The training includes techniques of fixing the ropes and knot and gears. This training is necessary for
your safety and will make your climbing experience more enjoyable. Included Meals (B L D)
Day 13 Trek to Lobuche High Camp 3-4 hrs After breakfast, we begin the strenuous hike from Lobuche Base
Camp to the Lobuche High Camp, 5600m. The path is over rocky moraine. Upon reaching the high camp, we set up
our camp, have lunch and rest. One highlight of the day will be to see the incredible sunset on the mountains from the
high camp. Included Meals (B L D)
Day 14 Lobuche Peak Summit, 6119m Summit- Return to Base Camp: 7-9 hrs Early in the morning we set out
for the summit of Lobuch East, where you will get one of the best views of the greatest mountains in the world:

scheduled summit day, we have allowed an extra day in the schedule. If we are unable to summit the Lobuche Peak
on due to bad weather or some other reason, such as someone in the group having acclimatization problems, it is
useful to have an extra day. If the trip goes smoothly, and we do not need this spare day, we will continue our return
journey to EBC and Pokalde Included Meals (B L D)
Day 16: Trek to Gorak Shep and back to EBC (Everest Base Camp), 5363 m Today we trek on past Gorak Shep

will take us to our destination peak, Kala Pattar, following the Khumbu Glacier. From Kala Pattar we will see the sun
rise and enjoy superb views of the surrounding mountains. We descend for lunch at Lobuche, 4915m, and continue
down to Dingbuche. Overnight stay at guesthouse. Included Meals (B L D)

Day 21: Chhukung to Island Peak Base Camp, 5200m From Chhukung, the path climbs steeply toward the South
and the turns East, following the valley along the moraine from the Lhotse glacier. We continue a short yet pleasant
walk along the river side which leads to Big-Rock. From this point a 40 minute climb will take us to Island Peak Base
Camp. We set up tents at base camp for eating and sleeping. Included Meals (B L D)
Day 22: Base Camp to Summit 6189m and descent to Chhukung We have to start early in the morning to climb
through the rock channel. Although it is not difficult, there are many short rock steps to be crossed before you come
across the other side of the channel. Then the trail leads to the ridgeline where you traverse the snout of the summit
glacier. You will need to rope up for the glacier as it contains several crevasses, which leads with little difficulty, to a
100m snow and ice slope (40-45°) on which the guides will fix a rope. From the top of this slope, 3 rope lengths
along a sharp summit ridge will take you to the top. After enjoying the summit view, you will descend all the way to
Chhukung, 4710m. Overnight stay at guest house. Included Meals (B L D)

to Lukla. Included Meals (B L D)
Day 24: Trek to Namche, 3441m gradually, we trek down to Dingboche and again pass through the Pangboche
village, the same trail we used on the way up. The trail leads down to a river. After crossing the river, we walk for an

Note: In the event of adverse weather conditions, flights between Kathmandu and Lukla may be delayed or cancelled.
Be aware that you may have long waits in the airports. Additionally, it is advisable to allow one or two extra days at
the end of your trip to allow for flight cancellation. From our side, if a flight is cancelled we make sure you get on the
next possible flight.
In an emergency, or upon request by our clients, a heli-rescue can be organized. The helicopter costs around USD
3100, and can lift 4 persons per flight.
If flight cancellations at the start of your trek delay your trek to the point of disturbing your onward travel schedule,
you will be free to choose an alternative trip; there are many excellent options in the Annapurna, Langtang and other
regions. If you do not wish to take an alternative trek, and wait in Kathmandu for the flight to Lukla, your original
trek may be shortened due to the days lost in waiting. We will provide you guesthouse accommodation and lunch in
Kathmandu while you wait; however, there will be no refund for the days of the trek that are missed. You will not be
entitled to any refund for services in the package (ie hotel, transport, flight) that you did not use due to the
cancellation.
If flight cancellations at the end of your trek delay your return to Kathmandu, you will be responsible for all your
expenses during the wait in Lukla.
