At Thukla Pass, khatas (traditional silk scarves) adorn tributes to Rob Hall, Scott Fischer, Rob Hall, and the great Sherpa Late Babu Chiri Sherpa (who ascended Everest without supplemental oxygen and stayed 22 hours at the peak). The ill-fated trip of Hall and Fischer is chronicled in Jon Krakauer's best-selling book "Into Thin Air" and the film "Everest."

With some of the world's highest peaks around you, travel over desolate and rocky landscapes to Lobuche, one of the few communities in this high-altitude snowy desert. The village, which was previously a yak herders' summer camp, is now home to only a few tea establishments. Stay overnight at Lobuche.

Get up early and hike the trek toward Cho La Pass. Today is significant since it is also the most difficult day of your walk, as you traverse the high mountain pass of Cho La. The crossing is one of the trek's highlights, with a non-technical ascent to the Cho La saddle at 5367m.

The length of time it takes to ascend the pass is determined by the snow conditions. Even though the ascent is non-technical, the walk up the pass is difficult. The peak of the Cho La Pass is always covered with snow and ice. From the summit, you may enjoy breathtaking views of the valley below. The Himalayan peaks of Ama Dablam, Baruntse, and Lobuche East appear on the horizon. The glacier envelops the snow-covered pass until it reaches its maximum height.

Keep your footing when descending steep sections covered with loose rocks. Cross a grassy slope and slowly descend to the little Sherpa town of Thaknak, which is located at the base of Cho La Pass. Spend the night at Thaknak.

Distance: 4 km

Duration: 4-5 hours

Thaknak is on the eastern edge of the Gokyo Valley. This is one of the remaining human settlements on the Nepalese side; the other side is Tibet. En route, take in the breathtaking vista of Cho Oyu (8188m), the world's sixth-highest mountain.

Travel from Thaknak to Gokyo. Follow a route that meanders around Nepal's longest glacier, the Nzogumpa Glacier. As the glacier advances, the track changes. If you don't have a skilled mountain guide to lead you through such portions, you're likely to become lost. Don't worry, our expert guides know which way to travel even if the old track is destroyed.

Follow an uneven trail marked with cairns. Stop at regular intervals to regain your breath and take in the rough alpine views. Gokyo is located on the eastern coast of Gokyo Cho, the biggest of the Gokyo Lakes, also known as Dudh Pokhari. Make your head to a teahouse for some well-deserved slumber. Stay overnight in Gokyo.

Distance: 7 km

Duration: 5-6 hours

Wake up early and make the difficult climb up the Gokyo Ri for breathtaking 360-degree views of the Gokyo Valley. This is the ideal vantage point for seeing the lakes and mountains.

From the summit, you can see ice glaciers falling into green lakes, surrounded by an uninterrupted chain of snow-capped Himalayan peaks. Gokyo Ri is one of the Khumbu region's most popular overlooks, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayas. This is one of those sights that will live in your memory forever.

Later in the day, take the solitary and ruggedly gorgeous trail to Machhermo. The trail follows the slope of Nzogumpa Glacier, Nepal's longest glacier, which begins at the foot of Cho Oyu in Tibet and flows down to the Gokyo Valley in Nepal. Take caution when crossing the glacier's moraine and unstable rocks. Cross Pangkha before heading upward to Machhermo. Go to a teahouse and rest. Stay overnight in Machhermo.
