Trek to Namche Bazaar, through the valley of Dudh Koshi and Sagarmatha National Park (Sagarmatha is the Nepali name for Mount Everest).

Acclimatization day in Namche. Get acclimatization to the thin air and reduced levels of oxygen at this altitude before we continue upwards towards the Everest Base Camp. Ascending too quickly can generate symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), which can be fatal, so it is very important that we take a rest today to allow our bodies some extra time to adjust and rest before we continue on our journey upwards.

You can visit local shops, National Park Visitor Center, or take a side trip to Thami or Khumjung. Namche is a great place to hang out with stunning mountain views, observe the trading of visiting Tibetans or listen to the stories of departing mountaineers.

Trek to Dole with amazing views of Mount Everest (8848 m.), Lhotse (8516 m.), Ama Dablam (6812 m.), and Thamserku (6623 m.). The trail brings us down to Kyangjuma before we eventually reach Sanasa, where the trail breaks off for either Gokyo valley or Everest Base Camp.

The trail makes an ascend steeply at some point to bring you to Dole.

Climbing steadily up through a scenic ridge, which provides a good view of Cho Oyu, Kantega, and Thamserku, we trek to Machhermo.

Trek to Gokyo with extremely pleasing views of Kangtega (6782 m.) and Thamserku (6623 m.) down the Gokyo valley.

The valley widens as our trail reaches Pangka and from here we descend to the river bank before climbing back up to near the Ngozamba Glacier. After crossing an iron bridge the trail levels out and we pass the first lake, known as Longpongo (4690 m), and then come upon Taboche Tsho lake, which emits a bright turquoise reflection sparkling in the sun.

A small distance ahead we reach the third lake, Dudh Pokhari, which is connected with Taboche Tsho by a surging stream. Gokyo village stands by the third lake and Cho-Oyu mountain (8201 m.) provides a stunning backdrop. After lunch, we explore the area around Dudh Pokhari before spending the night in a guesthouse.

Trek from Gokyo to Lumden via Renjo La Pass.

Trek down to Namche and take a well-earned rest and enjoy a hot shower.

Coming down steeply out of Namche we cross the suspension bridge and get our last views of Everest. After lunch at Phakding, we continue down the path, before turning off the main Jiri route and arriving back in Lukla.

Flight back to Kathmandu.Transfer to the Hotel.
