A gruelling 11 day trek to the Base Camp of the most famous mountain in the world - Mt Everest, taking in the summit of Kalar Patar reaching 5545m / 18,192ft above sea level.
Details of the Trek: - (Taken from Website)
After exploring Kathmandu you fly to Lukla from where your trek to Everest commences. The trail follows the course of the Dudh Kosi, the ‘River of Milk’, gradually climbing through forests of rhododendron and magnolia. There are rest days at Namche Bazaar (the delightful Sherpa capital) and at Dingboche village (set below the spectacular peak of Ama Dablam) to help adjust to the altitude. All the while as you are trekking, the peaks of the Himalaya will loom above you, providing outstanding views as you walk.
Base Camp & Kalar Patar
The dramatic landscape around you changes as you continue to climb higher and higher. By the time you reach Lobuche, the temperature has dropped and you’ll be walking among frozen rivers in an icy wilderness. From here you make the trek to base camp itself in its dramatic location at the foot of the world’s highest peak. The next day it’s on to the final highlight – Kalar Patar (5545m), with stunning views of Everest and the Khumbu Glacier cascading below. From here you descend to Lukla, marvelling at what you have achieved and all the while with stunning views and fantastic scenery all around you!
A Big Thanks to everyone who has helped already!
