DAY 03: Fly to Lukla, Lukla (2800m) is situated on a hill above the Dudh Kosi river. Leaving Lukla, the trail descends gradually passing above the large village of Chaunrikaka (2680m) and on through small villages, fields and forests following a wide well constructed path. After Kusum Drargka, a large stream, the trail crosses the Dudh Koshi river at Phakding (2652m). The total walking time between Lukla and Phakding is 3 hours. (Our entire trip to Everest area in Sagarmatha National Park has been planned is such a way so as to minimize the risk of ‘High altitude sickness’. Please do not hesitate to tell your trek guide. In the first two days you are likely to feel little uneasy due to the altitude). Overnight at Phakding. DAY 04: From Phakding the trail follows the western bank of Dudh Kosi passing through forests of Blue Pine until it reaches the villages of Benkar (2700m). From here the trail crosses to the eastern bank of the Dudh Kosi, and climbs gently to the village of Chumoa.Between here and the next village of Monjo (2800m) the trail drops steeply to cross Monjo Khola. From Monjo the trail crosses a small rock saddle and then descends abruptly to recross the Dudh Kosi at Jorsale (2804 m). Beyond Jorsale the trail undulates up until the confluence with Bhote Kosi is reached. From here the Khumbu region begins. Above the bridge the trail zigzags up 300m of the steep spur between the two rivers through sparse forest. From the top of the spur, Mt. Everest can be seen rising above Nuptse-Lhotse wall. The next section of the trail climbs less steeply, transferring above the Bhote Kosi until Namche Bazaar (3440m) is reached. Namcha Bazaar is a market town, where every Saturday morning traders from lower altitude sell goods to Sherpa. Most of the trading is over by mid-day and the traders return to their villages. The total walking time is 6-7 hours. Overnight at Namche bazaar. DAY 05: Acclimatization is important so today we will spend the day here. We can explore Namche Bazaar.
