Early morning transfer to the airport to fly to Lukla (2880m). This 45-minute flight provides a magnificent entry to the trek. It
highlights the snowline of the Himalayan Range in the north and the rugged landing at the Lukla airport, which is said to be
one of the most spectacular flights in the world. Upon arrival the guide will arrange the porters at the nearby lodge. During
this break, the guests are welcome to explore this bustling town on top of a hill with rows of houses, hotels and shops lining
both sides of the traditional cobbled street.
The trek starts by following the trail leading to the northwest direction through the narrow street, which immediately
descends from the end of the village on a trail through the open hillside. The trail is well defined and there are many shops
and lodges catering to the trekkers. This day’s trek is an easy one and ultimately descends to the river at Phakding (2,652m).
Dinner and overnight at teahouse lodge.

Leave the main village and the follow the trail on the left bank of the Dudh Kosi River. It is a pleasant walk for the first half of

Sagarmatha National Park. Descend for 10 minute and then cross a suspension bridge to arrive at Jorsale (2,800m). Pass
through several small villages and beautiful pine forest. This is a busy trail with plenty of human interest.
Our first good views are of west ridge of Kusum Kangru (6,339m). Follow the Dudh Kosi River, crossing a rickety suspension
bridge, which is in a dilapidated condition, and then slowly climb up a very steep trail to Namche Bazaar. Near half
waypoint, we enjoy our first views of Mt. Everest (8,848m), Nuptse (7,879m) and Lhotse (8,383m) – the big three. The climb
is for nearly 3 hours as one gain in altitude making breathing difficult due to rarified air. Arrive at a gate with a sign saying,
"Welcome to Namche Bazaar" but it is very misleading as it takes another 20 minutes to arrive at the main town.
This prosperous town is the largest in Khumbu. Mt. Thamserku (6,648 m) and Kwangde Ri (6,624 m) loom along the east
and west of the village. The sacred mountain Khumbila (5,707 m) dominates the skyline along the west.

The trail leads along the hillside trail with views of Amadablam and Thamserku before descending into the rhododendron
forest and then towards an impregnable looking rock wall on the north side of the valley. A giant's causeway of the granite
step makes an incredible route up the face before the trail emerges the high grazing ground. One hour further is a charming
chorten, from here you can get a magnificient view of the Amadablam (6856m), Kangtega (6685m) and Thamserku (6648m)
standing high above the meadows of Thyangboche monastery. The trail drops quickly nearly all the way to the Dodh Kosi

trekkers lodge.

Climb Gokyo Ri and return to camp. Unlike the Kalapatthar hill from Lobuche, the foot of Gokyo Ri lies five minutes away
from the stream that feeds the Gokyo Lake. After two to three hours of "huff and puff" you reach the summit not to be
disappointed for your effort at all, as the views from here are well worth the effort you put in. Everest (8848m), showing
more of its northern flank than from Kala Pattar, with Makalu (8475m) further to the east and Cho Oyu (8153m) towards the
north make a mesmerizing view to watch.
