The Lukla airport often called as Tenzing Hillary Airport is the world’s most dangerous airport. The thrill of landing in such an airport is an added experience to make.

It lies in the Dudh Kosi river valley just north of Lukla and south of Monjo, at an altitude of 2,610 m. In this part of the trek we reach to Jorsalle which is the entry point of the Sagarmatha National Park where entry permit will be checked.

It is located within the Khumbu area at 3,440 metres (11,286 ft) at its low point, populating the sides of a hill. Namche is considered as the Sherpa Capital and the major trading place of Khumbu region.

Day 05: Acclimatization day in Namche – 4 hours

The acclimatization process takes place in Namche Bazzar by taking short day hiking or relaxing by roaming around in the Namche itself. According to health experts the trekkers should always move while relaxing and acclimatizing in the altitude. So, we take our fellow trekkers to either short hiking or walking in and around Namche before setting up for the further trek. Trekkers can hike to the world’s highest placed hotel “The Everest View hotel” from where you can see the spectacular view of the Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Khangtega and other panoramic views of snow capped mountains. The Khangtega mountain is unique on its geographical setting as it resembles the back pack of Horse riding.

Day 08: Acclimatization day in Dingboche and Hike to Nagarsan Hill(5100m) – 4-5 hours

A slow ascend is very important for acclimatization. Our stop in Dingboche is designed to allow our bodies to adjust to the thinning air of the mountain due to increase in altitude. A good way to spend the day is to hike to the Nagarsan Hill at the height of 5100m from where we can enjoy the spectacular view of the Himalayan range. We can enjoy the magnificent view of Island Peak (6189m), south face of Lotse, the giant of Ama Dablam and Mount Makalu(8030m). The hike should help the body acclimatize effectively for more challenging days of the trek. After enjoying the beautiful view, we return to spend our second night at Dingboche.

Upon this juncture our trail starts to step higher up in the mountains slowing leaving behind the khumbu glacier. On the way we will see the memorials of many mountaineers who died while trying to conquer the mount Everest. The cemetery marks the memorial of the famous climber like Scott Fisher, Rob Hall and other climbers. The air starts to become thinner from here on wards as we pass the pumori, khumbutse, mahalangur himal(mountain) along with the Nuptse smiling on our right.

Nuptse, etc. Little walk down would take us to Thangma Riju from where we can have the glory of 360 degree sight of snowy mountains. Climbing steeply up to the top through the torrent of Changri Glacier, we catch our first glimpse of Kalapatthar, a grey-green knoll beneath the Mt. Pumori. As we reach Gorekshep, we will find snow-capped mountains looming all around us including the top of the world – Mt. Everest. After a brief lunch and rest, we take the trail to Everest Base Camp through the once vast Gorekshep Lake. Upon arriving here we will be greeted with the lots of colorful tents of people vying to conquer the Mt. Everest if your trekking falls within the climbing season. At this very juncture we can feel relaxed that we have achieved our ultimate goal.
