You will mostly walk along Dudh Koshi river and majority of today’s walk is uphill. Since its an uphill ride today, you will take one climb at a time and walk slow.

After getting one of your permits checked several times you will enter Sagarmatha National park from beyond Monjo. The climb gets arduous and the altitude kicks in from beyond Jhorsale.

The trail gets more arduous because of elevation. The height difference from Lobuche to Gorakshep is just 200 meters but it is very difficult for people to have a proper sleep after Lobuche. Hence, you will go further to either Kala Patthar or Base camp and return back to Gorak Shep. The views of the mountains from viewpoint of Kala Patthar offers a wonderful views of Everest and the surrounding mountains. A,B,L,D
