Everest Panorama trekking 8 days
Date Published
Beginning from Lukla, we trek through the Sherpa ‘capital’ of Namche Bazaar. A day is spent here for acclimatization or to be familiar with the atmosphere of this bustling village before heading on up through Tengboche, Pheriche, Lobuche village and Gorak Shep. It is the jumping off point for the climb up to Kala Pattar (5545m) for spectacular views of Mt. Everest, and the walk to the Everest Base Camp.
This is a moderate trek will lead to Gokyo Lake and over the Cho La at 5,430m making a circuit of Tawache (6,367m.) and Cholatse (6,440m). Emerging into the Khumbu valley above Lobuche the trail continues up to Kalapatthar and then back to Lukla via Tengboche and Namche Bazaar. The small settlement of Gokyo (4750m) lies on the banks of the third lake. We can see the four peaks above 8000m of Cho Oyu (8,201m.), Makalu (8,463m.), Lhotse (8,516m.) and Everest (8,848m.) exposing above Gokyo. In addition to this, we will have a look at the tremendous ice ridge between Cho You and Gyachung (7922m). Besides, there is also a option to explore Cho La, a 5420m-high pass into Khumbu and Gokyo Ri.
