Kathmandu - Lukla - Phakding:
By plane to Lukla airport in East Nepal. The airport
is situated on 2,800 meters altitude. Walk to
Phakding at 2,800 meters. As you mighty have noticed
the information about altitudes vary from source to
source. For this itinerary, I have chosen to mention
the altitudes given by the Lonely Planet "Trekking
in Nepal Himalaya". Even most altimeters will give
different information due to how it is programmed in
relation to temperature.
In Phakding you make your first camp. During the

men, porters and helpers. You will stay in tents,
two people in each tent; there will be a dining tent
for the meals. |

Namche Bazaar at 3,440 meters. Follow Dudh Kosi
River upstream. In Jorsale we stop for lunch before
climbing the steep 600 meters up to Namche at 3,440

you might be slightly affected by the altitude. |
Days 05 :
This is a rest day for acclimatisation. Namche Bazaar is the traditional
centre for the Sherpa community. It has also become
a famous place for trekkers from all over the world.
Many of the Nepalese who have climbed Everest and
the other high peaks in Nepal live here. Visit the
market and enjoy the small restaurants with local
delicacies like buttered tea or yak cheese. You can
even get Western bread. |
Days 06 :
Walk to Tengboche Monastery
at 3,870 meters. While walking you get a splendid
view of both Everest and Lhotse, the forth-highest
mountain (8,488 m.) A small ascent to top of the

descent to Dudhkoshi river and cross the bridge and
steep ascent to Tengboche takes aabout 3 hours. |

meters. You start going through rhododendron forest,

Amadablam will follow you to the right the whole

Kalapattar has one of the best views of the top of
