To avoid the bottom portion of the glacier, the route acclimates to high slopes above it; however, to ascend even farther, we must hike along the centre of the rough, stony glacier. We reach the base of the icefall via a steady stroll, and from there we ascend to the most accessible spot to reach the Drolambau glacier. We shall be surrounded by breathtaking views of lofty mountains here.As we descend further, we camp in Tashi Lapcha Pedi Camp at the base of Tashi Lapcha, which is encircled by incredibly majestic mountains rising to a height of 6000 metres and offering a 360-degree view.

The ancient trade route into Tibet, which used to cross the Nangpa-la, splits off at Thame and heads north along the Bhote Koshi, which is also the name of the river that runs parallel to this trip. The path drops gradually at first, then sharply to a bridge at Phunki Tenga that crosses the Dudh Koshi River. After passing through a number of villages and tea stores, the trail climbs sharply to Sanasa, where the Tibetan items are sold by the local Sherpa people. Little ups and downs with views of the mountains, forests, and scenery can be found throughout the route from Sanasa to Namche.

The trail descends steeply downward so we need to walk slowly and under control as our shaky legs continuously battle the rocky terrain. After crossing the suspension bridges over the fast flowing Dudh Koshi and its tributaries the trail becomes more level and natural. Although we are travelling the same route down, we feel completely different views. We snap a mixture of open plains, rhododendron and pine forests, and in the distance snow covered peaks. We walk through the Sherpa villages’ noticing impressive faith in Buddhism and culture of prayer stones and prayers flag while we walk through the villages. On arrival in Lukla, we stretch those sore legs and recall the experiences of the last couple of weeks. We experience the culmination of a fantastic trek on a happy note with everyone back safe and sound with smile on their faces.
