carved prayer wall. Then the trail is
interspersed with magnificent
rhododendron trees and old growth
forest. The trail follows gradually up
to the village of Jorsale where an Army

park entrance ticket is issued. The
trail goes gradually up to the
confluence of two rivers, Bhote Kosi and
Dudh Kosi. Crossing the bridge, the
trail goes steeply about 3 to 4 hours
till Namche Bazaar. Namche Bazaar is
situated in the lap of Khumbu Himal
range, about 241km north-east of
Kathmandu. This is the home of the
legendary Sherpas who have won
international renown as being the sturdy
climbers to scale the highest peaks with
their indomitable will.

Namche Bazaarand excursion around the
places. After breakfast, we may take a
side trip onto a ridge and to the
Everest View Hotel offering some of the
best views of the high Himalayas
including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Lhotse
Shar, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku. We then
come down to Namche Bazaar to enjoy our
rest day to allow for maximum
acclimatization on our way up to the
Everest area. A pleasant day can be
spent exploring the surrounding areas,
talking to the friendly Sherpa people
and simply enjoying the incredible
scenery.
Day 05: Namche Bazaar to Dole via
Phortse Tanga (3500m)
After having breakfast, the trail climbs
gently up to Sanasa and continue towards
to the large Chorten on the ridge top at
3973m. Near the Chorten, there are some
teahouses at the settlement of Mong (Mohang).
This is said to be the birthplace of the
Saint Lama Sange Dorje, the reincarnate
lama of Rongbuk Monastery in Tibet who
introduced Buddhism to Khumbu. From the
ridge at Mong, the trail descends in a
series of steep switchback down a sandy
slope to the Dudh Kosi river. There is
an excellent camping spot along the
river at Phortse Tanga where we stop for
lunch. After lunch the trail climbs
steeply out of the valley through
rhododendron forests, which gives way to
fragrant stands of juniper and large
conifers as the elevation increases.
This portion of the trek is especially
beautiful in spring when the
rhododendrons are blooming (late April
and early May at this elevation). The
trail passes through many yak pastures
and summer settlements that are used
when sherpas bring herds of yak to
graze. The views of the Khumbila and
Tawache (6542meters) are tremendous

along the side of the valley, high above
the river to Machhermo at 4410m. It was
in 1974 that a Yeti killed three yaks

Ngozumpa glacier. It is a steep climb up
the moraine, switch backing alongside
the stream to the first small lake at
4650m where a family of Brahmin ducks
has resided for many years. The trail
now becomes almost level as it follows
the valley past a second lake known as
Longponga. We finally reach Gokyo on a
boulder-strewn path at 4750m. It sits
lakeside, a veritable Himalayan resort!
