You'll acclimatise steadily, as the trail meanders over and around numerous rivers to Thyangboche, where the views of Mt. Everest are spectacular. Your trek leads gradually uphill with constant views of the snow-capped mountains.
You reach a high point at Kalapatthar with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers-Everest is now just a stones throw away! Triumphant at reaching Base Camp you descend back through Sherpa villages, before reaching Lukla via Thyangboche and Namche Bazaar.
Exhausted but elated, you will travel onto Kathmandu for a chance to explore the city before flying home.
