  Another spectacular day of trekking once we start from Phakding we will trek alongside the Dudh Koshi river and will cross the river on a hanging bridge after Phakding village you can see a tiny, beautiful monastery on the front mountain while crossing the hanging bridge.

You will cross many villages like Monjo, Jorsale, and other many small villages on the way to Namche. The last village before Namche is Jorsale and we will have our lunch in this village.
  After Jorsale village we will cross 2 hanging bridges to reach Namche Bazaar the first one is a normal hanging bridge and very less height after this bridge we will trek on Dudh Koshi riverbed for a few distances and after some time the trail goes through edge of the mountain which is very narrow in some places you need to be careful as the Yaks and Mules doesn’t follow the rules (so be on the mountainside, not the riverside).
  Once you cross this stretch you will reach the big hanging bridge, and this is the highest bridge in this zone. There are 2 bridges one above one in this place the below one is abandoned and the above one is functional. Crossing this bridge is very thrilling and you can see a small glimpse of Mount Everest from the middle of the bridge the very first time (if the weather is clear). This part of trekking is photographic heaven especially when you can see these bridges from the trail.
  After this bridge, the trail goes through dense forest and it is the toughest part of today’s trekking as the trail goes uphill. After 2 hours of uphill trekking, you will reach a resting point where you will find toilets/restrooms and a few locals’ sale fruits and snacks also from this place you can see a much better view of Mount Everest and Lhotse. After this place, the trail is not that strenuous and you will reach Namche check post, from here Namche village starts but you need to climb many steps before reaching our hotel.

After reaching Dughla we will have our lunch and then hike to Thok La Pass/ Lobuche Pass (few people say it Thok La Pass and few says Lobuche Pass) this is a particularly important small mountain pass as you can find 100s of memorials in this place which belong to climbers who died in many expeditions. The hike is strenuous after Dughla but it is not a very long trail once you are on the top you can spend some time here then proceed to Lobuche.
  After the memorial place, the trail is flat up to Lobuche and you can find Khumbu Glacier on your right-hand side, but you cannot see it as a big wall is there alongside it (if you climb that wall then the Khumbu glacier will completely visible).

• Day 10 : Lobuche to Gorakshep (5, 170 m / 16, 962 ft) to Everest Base Camp (5, 364 m / 17, 598 ft) and come back to Gorakshep: 8 – 9 hours

  Toddy’s trekking will be the longer one as we will start early and reach Gorakshep then we will keep our stuff in the hotel have some light food then immediately start for Everest Base Camp. Once we start from Lobuche the trail is very flat up to some distance then we need to hike a small mountain pass and go a lot of ups and downs alongside Khumbu Glacier up to Gorakshep. In few places, you need to walk on the glacier, and you can see thousands of years old solid ice, once you get down from the rocky up and down glacier hills you will reach Gorakshep which is a flat lakebed. We will keep our luggage in the hotel and have some light food then start towards Everest Base Camp. The trail to base camp is quite like the trail that we just cross before Gorakshep, you can see a great view of Mount Nuptse on your right side and a spectacular view of Mount Pumori on your left, also a great view of Khumbu glacier.
  You need to get down from the ridge to Khumbu Glacier as the Base camp is on the Khumbu glacier and the trail is not so good in this area as the trail shifting itself as the glacier moves so do not except a proper trail while going to Everest Base Camp. Once you reach Base camp you will find yourself amidst huge mountains and the feeling here is out of the world. The sound of breaking ice in the Khumbu glacier or an avalanche on a distant mountain is a different experience (please note the base camp is a safe place as this is situated quite a distance from the nearest mountains).
  The Khumbu icefall starts just after the base camp and you will have a great view of the Khumbu glacier. If you are here in April and May then you can see a lot of tents spread across the base camp and all belong to climbers and their support teams. After spending some time at the Base Camp, we will come back to Gorakshep while coming we can take photographs with the famous signboard which says “WAY TO M.T EVEREST B.C.” which is quite close to our Gorakshep hotel.

  The most important day of our trip is today we will hike to Kala Patthar and see a majestic view of Mount Everest. The hike to Kala Patthar starts just after Gorakshep and the trail goes uphill, but the trail is quite comfortable for a walk if you walk at your own pace then this hike will be the best hike for you. Once you go high on Kala Patthar the view of Mount Everest gets broader and clearer also you will find a humongous view of mount Pumori while hiking Kala Patthar.
  Before the summit, you will find big rocks on the trail and you need to climb on these rocks to reach the top of the Kala Patthar. Once you are on the top then the view from here is magnificent! As you can see a gigantic view of Mount Everest and other surrounding chains of mountains, from here you can realize how big is the Khumbu Glacier is, also you can get a truly clear picture of Khumbu Icefall which looks much closer from the top.
  You can tie a prayer flag here along with thousands of other tied prayer flags. Take some finest clicks of your lifetime and get down to Gorakshep. Do not spend much time on top of Kala Patthar as this place is much windy and do not go to the edge of it. After reaching our hotel we will hike to Pheriche, which is quite an easy downhill trek.
