Most of the summits lie in the heart of Sherpa World. We follow the classic Everest approach through the Solu Khumbu. Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar is veering off the trail to Everest base camp. We will enter the magnificent Gokyo valleys, a land of high-altitude lakes and icy glaciers. After crossing Chhukuma La at 6183m. (except going to Gokyo Valley and Chhukuma La Pass we proceed towards Everest base camp as well) we go towards the Khumbu glacier en route to Everest base camp at 17,575ft and you can enjoy spectacular panorama from Kala Patthar at 18,192ft (5,545m.). Our route descends to Dignboche and goes to Chhukung Valley and Island (Imja Tse) Base camp.
We attempt the summit 20,305ft after one night at the high camp perched on the South West Ridge.
