You will catch your first glimpse of Everest while crossing the mighty Dudh Koshi. As you continue, the trail leads to Manjo, where you can stop for lunch. The next section of the trail is more difficult, becoming steeper and gaining altitude as you approach Namche, causing shortness of breath. It is advisable to progress slowly and steadily. You will spend the night at Namche Bazaar, a bustling hub where people from the Solukhumbu region gather for business.

You can observe the mountains’ shadows projected onto the clouds above, truly appreciating their grandeur. As a source of energy, try salt-butter tea and Champa – a type of barley commonly consumed by the Sherpa in the region. The lively cultural Saturday market is worth visiting, bustling with traders eager to sell their products.

Once you reach Lobuche (the second-highest village on the EBC trail), you can spend the night there.

Lobuche to Gorakshep
