Since we are at 3,867 meters, we will need some rest to cope with decreasing oxygen levels. Thus we stop at Namche for a day and visited places such as the Everest view hotel, Khunde Hospital, Local Schools, and museums. In the evening, we visit the small yet beautiful market of Namche.

Today, we start the hike to the Gorakshep in the morning. As we reach Gorakshep, the last human settlement before EBC, we stop for a while to leave our stuff. Then, we trek to Everest Base Camp for the most beautiful experience of our lives. Stopping a few hours before the majestic Everest, we make a lot of memories before returning to Gorakshep for a night’s stay.

We wake up very early, intending to reach Kala Patthar before sunrise. This 2-3 hours of the trek will be the most challenging climb of the journey. However, the views from the top are just magnificent, i.e. better than the ones from the base camp itself. In a couple of hours, we get back to Gorakshep for breakfast. Then, we trace our way down to Pheriche.

Important Note
Your safety is of paramount concern while traveling with Peregrine. Please note that your leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns. Every effort will be made to keep to the above itinerary; however, since this adventure entails traveling in remote mountainous regions, we cannot guarantee that we will not deviate from it. Weather conditions, the health condition of a group member, unexpected natural disasters, etc., can all contribute to changes in the itinerary. The leader will try to ensure that the trip runs according to plan, but please be prepared to be flexible if required.
Please note that often the Lukla flight gets delayed by a few hours or may even be canceled for one, two, or more days due to unfavorable weather conditions. Such conditions may arise even in the best seasons. Hence, in such cases, you must be prepared for long waits either at Kathmandu or Lukla airports, as this can happen either at the start or end of the trek or even both! We will do our best to avoid such delays, and arrange the next flight for you. We also organize Helicopter rescue in such conditions, if it is available and upon request by our clients. The helicopter charges around USD 3500 and it can lift 4-5 persons per flight. Still, we suggest you be prepared for possible delays/cancellations, and if possible to come with some extra buffer days (1-2 days) at the end of the trip to accommodate such delays. If everything runs smoothly and you still have a few days of your buffer days left then you may even engage yourself in optional activities which can be arranged by Peregrine Treks upon request. The optional activities may include visiting places/landmarks of your choice, adventure sports, shopping, etc.
In case the flight delay/cancellation happens at the start of the trip and it goes so long that it disturbs your onward travel schedule, you are free to choose an alternative trip such as a trek in the Annapurna, Langtang, or any other region. If you are not interested in the alternative trip and would rather wait for your original preferred trip, you are welcome to wait in Kathmandu for as many days as it takes to get a flight to Lukla. However, please note that there will be no refund if you lose time waiting at the airport and do not take an alternative tour or you only do a short trek later due to time limitations. If the cancellation happens before the trip, we will provide you accommodation and lunch in a guesthouse (Not in a three-star hotel like Samsara Resort or a similar hotel) in Kathmandu. In case of a flight delay/cancellation after finishing the trek, you will be responsible for all your expenses. Please also note that you will not be entitled to any refund for the services (such as hotel, transport, flight, etc.) included in the package that you would not use later.
