This is another trek on Everest route that takes you to the heart of Everest. After a magnificent mountain flight to Lukla we follow the Dudh Kosi valley to Namche Bazaar. The trail to Gokyo is a gradual ascent up the valley passing through patches of birch & rhododendron forest where the elusive musk deer lurch large. Through small yak-grazing settlements we reach the Gokyo lakes where we climb Gokyo Peak (5480m) & enjoy stunning summit mountain scenery including Everest, Makalu & Cho Oyu. From this point we follow a trail heading south of Phortse towards Pheriche. After the ascent of Kala Pattar (5545m) & the impressive up-close view of Everest, our return route passes through Tengboche, a magnificent location with a fascinating monastery. We rest here overnight & savor the incredible scenery, including magnificent views of Everest, Ama Dablam (6856m), Kantega (6809m), Kwangde (6194m), Nuptse (7879m), & Lhotse (8511m), to name but a few.
