This is the most exciting and the most rewarding day of the whole trek. You will follow the trail to Everest Base Camp through big Gorakshep Lake. Continuing straight ahead, you will come across the Indian Army Mountaineers Memorials. The path from here can be misleading. Hence, it's important for you to follow our lead Sherpa diligently. The walk can be strenuous due to the thin air at the high altitude. Now, you will pass through rocky dunes, moraine and streams before reaching the Everest Base Camp. Upon reaching the Everest Base Camp, you will see tents of mountaineers that stand out in bright colors against the monotony of gray surroundings (especially in the spring). Nuptse, Khumbuste, and Pumori are the great mountains that you can gaze from the Everest Base Camp. Again, you will get back to Gorakshep for rest and sleep.
You have the option to go to Kala Patthar either on the same day or the other. However, the sunset view from Kala Patthar is more admirable than the sunrise view, so - we recommended that you should visit Kala Patthar the same evening to enjoy the sunset. As the setting sun's rays pour on the snow-capped mountains, the resulting scenery is just incredible, inexplicable and breathtaking. Therefore, if you wish to hike up to Kala Patthar this day instead of the next day, please inform your guide and they will coordinate accordingly.
