Accommodation: Hotel Meals: Not Included Overnight: Kathmandu We will pick you up at the airport and transfer you to your hotel where we will brief you on your upcoming trek. Feel free to explore the surrounding area today or catch up on your sleep before your early morning flight.
Trek time: 6 to 7 Hours Accommodation: Tea House Trek Distance: 15 km/9.3 miles Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Overnight: Gorakshep The trail from Lobuche rises slowly and over a period of 3 hours to Gorakshep. After checking into the lodge at Gorakshep and having lunch, we set off to hike to Kala Patthar, otherwise known as the Everest viewpoint. Although Everest Base Camp is a very popular destination – and one we will explore the following day – Kala Patthar gets you closer to Everest than you can ever be without actually climbing the great mountain! Kala Patthar is a black rock (hence its name) with astounding views which are hard to comprehend until you are there. After this spectacular adventure, return to Gorakshep for the night.
We will ensure you reach the airport on time for your onward flight. If you are not leaving the country, do ask us about other adventures we can arrange for you.
