TREK TO KALAPATTHAR OR
EVEREST BASE CAMP
This stunning trek visits both the base camp
and Kala Patar (5545m), a viewpoint recognised as the best point
to see Mount Everest. We take a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla,
hight above the Dudh Koshi Valley and the adventure begins as
we land at its tiny airstrip. From the airstrip we trek north
through pine forest to the bustling Sherpa ‘capital’,
Namche Bazaar, from where we head to the magnificent Thyangboche
Monastery. Here, in the shadow of the Everest and Ama Dablam,
and surrounded by prayer flags. As we ascend, the alpine scenery
becomes more rugged and we climb above the treeline to reach Dingboche
in the Imja valley for further acclimatization and exploration.
It is then a steady ascent, following glacial moraines, to Lobuje
and then on to our lodge at Gorak Shep. From here we ascend to
the summit of Kala Patar for brilliant views of Mount Everest
and a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the world’s highest
mountains. We then trek to the historic site of Everest Base Camp
before returning to Lobuje and starting our journey back to Kathmandu.
