stones with prayer flags used as memorials to Scott Fischer (American
mountaineer) and 10 times Everest submitter Babu Chiri Sherpa (mountain guide
from Nepal) who perished on a mission to climb Everest. As the trail drops to
the Khumbu Glacier moraine, we find ourselves right "in front of"
several great peaks - Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori and Mahalangur Himal. We are
now in the vicinity of Everest but the great mountain still remains hidden.
Nuptse towers to the right as the trail crosses the Khumbu Glacier. As we trek
along a murmuring stream we do not see the Khumbu glacier because of its
lateral moraine wall and we now begin to feel a little out of breath due to
high altitude. Which takes three hours walk.
Overnight in Lobuche.

moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. We pass though the pyramid sign post. Ahead on
the trail we the crest of north ridge of Everest along with Mt. Pumori,
Mahalangur, Lingtern, Khumbutse, Nuptse, etc. A small ascent would take us to
Thangma Riju from where we perceive 360 degree pleasing view of snowy
mountains. Climbing steeply up to the top through the torrent of Changri
glacier, we catch our first glimpse of Kala Patthar, a grey-green knoll beneath
the Mt. Pumori. As we reach Gorak Shep, we will be surrounded by snow-capped
mountains looming all around us including the top of the world -Mount Everest. After a brief
lunch and rest, we take the trail to Everest Base Camp through the once vast
Gorak Shep Lake. Continuing straight ahead, we come through the Indian army
mountaineers' memorials. As we reach Everest Base Camp we cannot stop ourselves
from appreciating the Everest climbers those take the hazardous route through
the Khumbu icefall. Mountaineer's tents stand out in bright colors against all
the dull gray surroundings (especially in the Spring). Nuptse, Khumbuste,
Pumori are the mountains we can view from base camp. Everest actually is not
visible from here. By now we have met the ultimate objective of our trip. We
get back to Gorak Shep for a good night's rest.
However, the sunset view from Kala Patthar is more admirable than the sunrise
view. As the setting sun's rays strike the snow capped mountains the resulting
scenery is indescribable. For those trekkers who wish to continue our guides
and Sherpas coordinate a hike to Kala Patthar for amazing sunset view today
rather than waiting until the next day. It takes six hours
walk.
Overnight in Gorak Shep.
DAY 17: Gorak
Shep - Kala Patthar - Pheriche.
After Breakfast trek from Gorak Shep to Kala Patthar(5545 m) back to
Pheriche(4280 m/14,070 ft).Today is the climax of our trip. We start early in
the morning to catch the dramatic views from Kala Patthar witnessing the first
light of day shining on Mount Everest. However, we need to get prepared for an
early morning, dark and cold temperature (-10 to -14 C) departure beforehand.
Plus there is always the potential for chilly winds which are quite common.
Familiar peaks such as Lingtren, Khumbutse, Changtse tower to the east even as
Everest begins to reveal itself emerging between the west shoulder crest and
Nuptse. During the ascent to Kala Patthar we can pause to catch our breath at
several outstanding view points to snap pictures. After several hours of an
ascent, we reach Kala Patthar. From here we scramble to climb the rocky outcrop
near to the summit marked by cairns and prayer flags. As we reach the top, we
sit on the Kala Patthar rocks our eyes taking in the unbelievable Himalayan
Panorama, wandering from one mighty massif to another. We take as many pictures
as we can with our camera and take the in view with our mind's eye to last
lifetime. On being back to Gorak Shep, we have breakfast followed by a gradual
descend down to Pheriche for overnight stay. It takes six hours
walk.
Overnight in Pheriche.
Day 18: Pheriche-Pangboche-Tengboche-Namche Bazzar
We
will trek down through the hillside blanketed by rhododendron and
juniper trees. If it's spring, pink and red rhododendron flowers ablaze
our surroundings. Depending on our hunger and condition, we either have
our lunch in Pangboche or wait until we reach Phunki Tenga for lunch.
After crossing the prayer flag festooned bridge over the Dudh Koshi
River trail then follows the Dudh Koshi gorge descending rapidly through
the pine forests. The path eventually reaches Sansa which is the major
trail junction in the region. We stop at Kyangjuma (3570 m)
for a relaxed lunch. We unknowingly appreciate the gorgeous Ama Dablam,
Thamserku and Nuptse with every bite. Following lunch, the trail to
Namche Bazaar clings to the steep wooded slope beyond Kyangjuma, winding
through several bends. We keep a lookout for wild life such as mountain
goats, snow leopards, colorful pheasants, etc, while we pass through
the forest by the trail. After passing a Chorten, we reach the army camp
at of Namche Bazaar. We want to take a long last look (and picture!)
back to Lhotse, the tip of Everest and Tengboche from here. On reaching
our lodge, we take a nice hot shower and have very relaxed sleep in our
room in Namche Bazaar. Overnight in Namche Bazaar.
Day 19:
Namche
Bazaar-Lukla.
After breakfast trek from Namche Bazaar to Lukla(2,800m). Today, the
trail descends steeply downward so we need to walk slowly and under control as
our shaky legs continuously battle the rocky terrain. After crossing the
suspension bridges over the fast flowing Dudh Koshi and its tributaries the
trail becomes more level and natural. By today we start to get warmed up by the
light breeze. Any remaining sore throats and colds will be gone by today as we
pass through this charming mountain air. Although we are travelling the same
route down, we feel completely different views. We snap a mixture of open
plains, rhododendron and pine forests, and in the distance snow covered peaks.
We walk through the Sherpa villages' noticing impressive faith in Buddhism and
culture of prayer stones and prayers flag while we walk through the villages.
On arrival in Lukla, we stretch those sore legs and recall the experiences of
the last couple of weeks. We experience the culmination of a fantastic trek on
