You’ll explore the area and notice a neighbouring Phakding monastery. In Lukla, we will spend the night at a lodge.

It’s a fascinating trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar. To get to Namche Bazaar, we stroll beside the Dudh Koshi River and cross a lovely pine grove. You will have the opportunity to observe Mount Thamserku en route. If the weather is cooperative, you may also catch a good view of Mount Everest. Our stroll comes to a conclusion at Namche Bazaar’s Sagarmatha National Park gate. It serves as the entry point to both the major business district and Mount Everest. We will traverse five suspension bridges en route to Namche, the Hillary Suspension Bridge being one of them.

It’s a relaxation day today. Today, we’ll wander around and take in Namche Bazaar. You’ll get the opportunity to learn about Sherpa culture. Here, you can also visit a nearby museum. It provides you with a wealth of knowledge about the Sherpa people, their way of life, and Mount Everest. But if you’d rather take a somewhat longer walk, you can visit Khumjung village.

The Imja River and stone barriers are crossed before we begin our trek across the glacier moraines towards Chhukung. Walking through the settlement of Bibre, we observe Island Peak soaring into the sky. We continue going from Bibre for another thirty minutes till we arrive to Chhukung, where we spend the night.

Today is a day off. As part of our practice of acclimating to high altitude, we ascend Chhukung Ri. The actual location of this peak is above Chhukung village. From here, the vista of the Ama Dablam and Amphu Labsa peaks is beautiful. We spend a few hours here before returning to Chhukung, where we will spend the night.

The trail from Island Peak Base Camp to Chhukung is steep.

We get up early today, at two in the morning, and eat breakfast before starting our ascent. In order to avoid being caught by the strong wind that begins to blow at noon, we make this effort to reach the peak before noon. The path up Island Peak at first quite sandy and steep, then it becomes grassy and eventually leads to boulder-strewn terrain. The slope narrows as we proceed, leading to a sharp rock channel. In certain locations, we require ropes that are fastened by our guides. We take pictures once we reach the summit and then relax and enjoy the journey for a while. After returning to the Base camp, we successfully spend the night there.

Today, we follow the same path back, descending down the Khumbu River. Along the route, we will pass by the picturesque Sherpa villages of Orsho and Shomare. We might take a different way to reach the Gompa, which is situated at Upper Pangboche.

On the way, if we’re lucky, we might also spot mountain goats and snow leopards. We arrive at Namche Bazaar, our overnight destination, at last.

The trail descends sharply from Namche Bazaar to Lukla. After passing across a few suspension bridges, we arrive in Lukla, where we will spend the night.
