To the north, Lobuche Peak (6119m) and the snowfields of Cho La are prominent. The walking is now by and large flat on wide-open fields, but make sure that you are well hydrated. Then, we cross the Khumbu Khola at Dughla (4620m) and take a light lunch at the foot of the huge terminal moraines of Khumbu Glacier. The fantastic views of Pumori (7145m) and, across the border in Tibet, Changtse (7550m), are seen at the top of the valley at the same time Everest disappears behind the gigantic walls of Nuptse and Lhotse.
Height: 5180m/16,994ft & Gorekshep: 5364m/17,598 ft (EBC)
This is it! Our huge day kicks off with an early, moderately easy hike from Lobuche to Gorekshep. The following, straight trail to Everest Base Camp is tougher, covering rocky dunes and moraine, formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris. On the way to our destination, we’ll approach the famed Khumbu Glacier and icefall, located on the slopes of Everest. At the Base Camp, our goal, you’ll have the chance (during the spring climbing season) to meet climbers attempting to scale the mountain’s summit. Break out your cameras for unbelievable views of breathtaking beauty. As the afternoon sun starts to wane, we’ll head back to Gorekshep for some much-needed rest and relaxation after a grueling and busy day.
Height: 2,800m/9,184ft Trekking Distance: 16km (6-7 hours)
Kala Pattar is not a Nepali name but a Hindi name and translates to "black rock". From these black rocks above the peak, the views are stunning. Most eyes are locked on the mass of Everest and its rocky buttresses directly before us. Many of the famous ascent routes are quite clear. Below us, the Khumbu Glacier snakes towards the icefall and Western Cwm. We can see the area where expeditions set their base camp but the original site was at Lake Camp, now known as Gorak Shep. Take a look in every direction and soak it in. The view south and our route out are exceptionally stunning.
In the afternoon we make the return trek to Pheriche a small Sherpa town for overnight sleep. From Lobuche, you follow the path down as far as Dughla, and then instead of taking the trail back to Dingboche, you descend to the flat valley bottom. It is then quite a short distance on the flat to reach Pheriche where you will stay for the night.
Altitude: 3,440m/11,284ft
This morning will seem much easier as you are descending and are at a lower altitude than you have been at for the last five days. If you did not have a chance to visit the gompa in Pangboche on the way up it would be worth a quick visit now. Leaving Pangboche you descend to cross a bridge over a terrifying gorge before making a short climb in the forest to Tengbocheto watch out for musk deer and pheasants in the woods along here. From Tengboche, you descend to the river at Phungithanga and then make the final climb of the day up through the pine forest to reach the very beautiful Sherpa village Namche. It will seem delightfully warm at this altitude and the air definitely packed with oxygen!!
Height: 2,800m/9,184ft

To allow our bodies to adjust we have designed our trek's itinerary so that you walk gradually, allowing acclimatization to occur. However, during the acclimatization process, You may experience some of the following symptoms.
Each Person acclimatizes at different rates. Our best suggestion is to take your time and drink plenty of water. These symptoms may not indicate the onset of A.M.S. and if you experience them it does not necessarily mean that you should not continue. All our Sherpa guides have extensive first aid training and we urge you to talk with the Sherpa guide at all times should you believe you have any symptoms in order that we can efficiently monitor your symptoms. The only cure for Acute Mountain Sickness is to descend. Please note that your guide has ultimate responsibility and may ask you to descend if symptoms persist.
The following checklist should help you with your packing. As a general rule, you should always try to keep the weight of your equipment to a minimum. The packed weight of your kit bag while trekking should be no more than 15 KG/33Lbs. Please note that this gear list is only a guide. Those are basic to bring the listed items, but you can decide from your desired brands using your expertise. Plus, you can shop the trekking gear and clothing at a good price at stores in Thamel, Kathmandu.
Additional Supplies
Basic First Aid Kit including antiseptic cream, throat lozenges, diarrhea treatment (Imodium), altitude (Diamox), painkillers, plasters and blister treatment, insect repellent, and re-hydration salts (Dioralite). Glucose tablets and multi-vitamin tablets are also a good idea
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE OPTIONAL:
The Nepalese are still traditional and conservative in the way they dress. Hence to avoid discomfiture on both sides we advise that you respect this and do not wear revealing clothing or sleeveless tops while visiting Nepal. Shorts are acceptable, but they should reach just above the knee and be modest and for women, it is better to wear trousers or a long skirt.
As you pack for Everest Base Camp, remember that your gear will be separated into two packs: your daypack that you will carry each day as you trek, and your duffle bag which will be carried between tea houses by porters. All extra baggage (non- trekking items) can be stored at the hotel before you start your trek. We provide you with a free duffel bag in Kathmandu. You can use it to pack your essential trekking equipment. We provide one-porter services for two people. Porters will carry up to 20-25 kg of your personal items. This must include your sleeping bag and down jackets. Therefore your duffel bag should not weigh more than 12 kg/26.5 lbs.
Daypacks can be any size for hiking, but we always recommend the smaller, the better. Around the 25l to 30l size is good for the EBC trek. You need to carry your own backpack (with a waterproof cover) where you can carry your daily needed items in your own backpack. For instance: Water bottle, Extra money for drinks, souvenirs & tips, sunhat, camera, important documents, toiletries, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, rain gear, music (iPhone), etc.
If you don’t have your own down jacket & sleeping bag, don’t worry. We will provide you with 4-season sleeping bags and a good down jacket with a hood for complementary use. Good quality sleeping bag and down jacket are most important for high altitude trek.
