SH arrived into Gorak Shep after the relatively short hike up the valley from Lobuche. Gorak Shep is the closest group of teahouses/lodges to Kala Pattar and the Everest Base Camp.

Last camp before EBC:, the last village before Everest Base Camp is Gorakshep Photo @leo_str

Gorakshep is the last stopover point on the Everest Base Camp Trek trail. This tiny settlement caters to the basic needs of several trekkers heading in and out of the Everest Base Camp. Gorakshep was the base camp for Mt Everest Climbers in the old days. It was originally the base camp for Swiss climbers attempting to summit Everest in 1952. But after the Khumbu Glacier receded, the base camp moved further up, called the Everest Base Camp. The current Everest Base Camp is located at a height of 5364 meters.

LOBUCHE TO GORAK SHEP

After staying in Lobuche, the next morning the trek is to Gorakshep, the northernmost village along the classic EBC trek. Is commonly planned to trek to Gorak Shep, then to Base Camp, and then return to sleep in Gorak Shep all on the same day. However several factors can change your plans such as not sleeping well the night before, waking up later than planned, or “Khumbu coughs” getting pretty bad, and weather conditions you decided to cut this day short and stop at Gorak Shep rather than continuing to EBC. Most people will start to exhibit altitude sickness symptoms after 5,000 meters like Sam in Lobuche.

Trip duration: approx 4 hours. Elevation at Lobuche: 4,940 meteres (16,207 feet) Elevation at Gorak Shep: 5,180 meters (16,995 feet) and the Distance: is 4.3 km ( 2.6 miles).

The entire Khumbu Region is blessed with two popular national parks of Nepal, Sagarmatha National Park, and Makalu-Barun National Park. Sagarmatha National Park is a UNESCO natural heritage site.

Gorakshep lies inside the Sagarmatha National Park. Hence, the Sagarmatha National Park entry permit is compulsory to reach here. Without the TIMS card (Trekkers' Information Management System) and Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit, you cannot make your trek to this region.

SH stayed at the Buddha Lodge in Gorak Shep, which is situated at an altitude of 5,180 meters, during their Everest Base Camp trek. This stay was sandwiched between climbing Kala Patthar one day and reaching EBC the next. Since Gorak Shep is the last stop before the Everest Base Camp, it's likely that they had already stayed at several other basic lodges along the way. However, a stay in Gorak Shep is essential. The Buddha Lodge is quite small, making it feel cozy. The restaurant's ceiling and walls are adorned with printed flags and t-shirts bearing the names of individuals and groups who have "been there, done that," as shown in Sam's video, He forgot to bring his My Peak Challenge flag but not his whisky 🤫

Is not an MPC Sticker

SH also didn't have any Scottish flag to plant at the top of Kala Patthar, but he left some empty mini bottles of whisky along the trail but he didn’t make use of them to lay Scottish claim to the top 😳🗻

Two things you must do when in Gorak Shep is firstly, climb the near-by ray flag covered Kala Patthar which affords you the most popular vantage point for viewing Mount Everest, the Khumbu Ice Fall (that flows from the Western Cwm) and of course a view directly down onto Everest Base Camp. The morning air is cool and clear making for incredibly crisp clear colours that are just something else.

The second thing you must to is make the day trip further up the Khumbu Valley alongside the Khumbu Glacier to see firsthand the Everest Base Camp which is literally located on the glacier. Climbers attempting to summit Mt Everest from the south (as Hillary’s 1953 expedition did) have all based their expeditions here and must first climb up through the treacherous Khumbu Ice Fall.

2 things that happened on the same day.

The stops at Gorakshep and Kalapathar are for the exquisite views of the Himalayas. Nothing stands between you and Mount Everest (8848m), Nuptse (7861m), Lhotse (8414m), Pumori (7165m), and Khumbutse (6636m) among others. Top it off with a night among these gigantic wanders of the world with nothing but the sparkling sky as the roof. Kala Patthar is famous for its magnificent 360-degree panoramic view of the towering peaks. These are mainly Nuptse, Changtse, and Everest. The giant Nuptse, however, blocks the summit of Mt Everest. The best time to visit Kala Patthar is during the day.

Kala Patthar sits at 5,545 meters (18,192 feet) high, making it one of the highest trekking points you can reach without needing special climbing skills. The trail is steep and rocky, and the altitude can make it even more difficult. However, the view from the top is absolutely breathtaking. From Kala Patthar, you can see the entire south face of Mount Everest, along with several other peaks in the Himalayas

Located on the Khumbu Glacier at the base of Everest, at an altitude of 5,600 meters. The trek to Everest Base Camp is a long hike at altitude, and doesn't require technical expertise. However, it's not a tourist trek and shouldn't be undertaken lightly without preparation.

The trail continues from there to the base camp: The distance between the base camp and Gorakshep is not that much either, about 3.5 km. The problem is altitude, low oxygen, very low temperature, and rocky terrain of this trail.

Getting up close and personal with the Khumbu Icefall

Views of the mas­sive South­west face of Ever­est from here are breath­tak­ing! This is an oppor­tu­ni­ty for those who may not have the desire or time to climb to the sum­mit, but are look­ing for an expe­ri­ence of a life­time — it’s also a way to get some miles in on the glac­i­er and take in the pos­si­bil­i­ty for a sum­mit climb at a lat­er date.

Sagarmatha National Park: The No. 1 Best Destination for Trekking and Mountain Expeditions

Sagarmatha National Park is highly renowned for housing the world’s tallest mountain, Mount Everest (8,848.86 meters), and the popular trekking destination, Everest Base Camp. Sagarmatha National Park is a true ecological hotspot, with its diverse geography, native flora and fauna, breathtakingly lofty mountains, and vibrant Sherpa culture.

Background and History

The name of Sagarmatha is derived from two Nepali words: "Sagar,” meaning sky, and "Matha,” meaning forehead. So altogether, Sagarmatha means the forehead of the sky, and it is known as Chomolungma in Tibetian, which means "Goddess Mother of the Earth." Since the 1950s, tourism has taken the shape of mountaineering and trekking in the Everest Region, resulting in a positive change in the local economy as well as a change in the landscape, livelihood patterns, resource management, and infrastructure development. As a response to concerns about conservation, the Sagarmatha National Park was established on July 19, 1976 AD.

Following its establishment after three years, Sagarmatha National Park was also listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage Site List for its ecological diversity and unique culture. Furthermore, on January 1, 2002, a 275-square-kilometer buffer zone was declared, including the park's settlements. Then, on September 23, 2007, Gokyo and its surrounding lakes were recognized as Wetlands of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention.

Sagarmatha National Location, Map, and Getting There

Located in the north-eastern part of Nepal, the Sagarmatha National Park spans 1,148 square kilometers, encompassing the Himalayan ecological zone of the Khumbu Region. The protected area also adjoins the Makalu Barun National Park and Rolwaling Valley of the Gauri Sankar Conservation Area to the east and the Qomolangma Biosphere Reserve in the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China to the west.

The route to Sagarmatha National Park and also the popular trekking destinations such as the Everest Base Camp Trek, Gokyo Lakes Trek, and the Three High Pass Trek, as well as the Everest expeditions, and Kalapathar follow the same path. The distance of the SNP from Kathmandu is about 135 kilometers. So, you have the option of a flight to Lukla, which is either from Kathmandu or Manthali, Ramcehhap. The flight is about 25 minutes. Alternately, you can also catch a flight to Phaplu or Tumlingtar and trek the remaining distance, which is two days of walking. There is also the option of a direct helicopter ride to SNP.

The best route by road is to take a bus to Salleri, then, from there, another ride to Thamdada. From Thamdada, you will have to trek for another two days to reach the Sagarmatha National Park.

Flora and Fauna

The Sagarmatha National Park is one of the ecological hotspots in the Himalayan region of Nepal. The area inhabits rare and endangered species of both plants and animals, which has brought about the conservation efforts of this protected area. 69% of the total land in the protected area is barren above the altitude of 5000 meters, 28% is grazing land and the remaining 3% is covered with forests.

The park has six different types of vegetation. The lower subalpine zone is above 3,000 meters and has forests of blue pine (Pinus wallichiana), east Himalayan fir (Abies spectabilis), and drooping juniper (Juniperus recurva). The upper subalpine zone is above 3,600 meters and has a birch-rhododendron forest with Himalayan birch (Betula utilis), Rhododendron campanulatum, and R. campylocarpum. The lower alpine is above the timber line at 3,800–4,000 meters and has scrubs of Juniperus species Rhododendron anthopogon and R. lepidotum. The upper alpine zone is above 4,500 meters and has grassland and dwarf shrubs. The sub-nival zone is between 5,750 and 6,000 meters and has cushion plants.

The park also has a thriving faunal habitat with 152 high-altitude breeding species of birds, including blood pheasant (Ithaginis cruentus), robin accentor (Prunella rubeculoides), white-throated redstart (Phoenicurus schisticeps), grandala (Grandala coelicolor), and several rosefinches. There are also a total of 28 species of mammals, such as the northern plains grey langur (Semnopithecus entellus), jackal (Canis aureus), grey wolf (Canis lupus), Himalayan black bear (Ursus thibetanus) (VU), red panda (Ailurus fulgens) (VU), yellow-throated marten (Martes flavigula), Siberian weasel (Mustela sibirica), snow leopard (Panthera uncia) (EN), Himalayan musk deer (Moschus leucogaster) (EN), Himalayan tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) and Himalayan goral (Naemorhedus goral).

There is limited information regarding the documentation of reptiles and amphibian species. It is estimated that there are seven reptiles and six amphibians, while there have been records of 30 species of butterflies within the protected area, among them the orange and silver mountain hopper (Carterocephalus avanti), which is not recorded elsewhere in Nepal, and the rare red apollo (Parnassius epaphus).

Note: VU-Vulnerable, EN-Endangered

Mountains, Rivers, and Glaciers in the Sagarmatha National Park

The mountains of the Himalayas are considered to be geologically very young mountains, including the world’s highest Mt. Everest (8848.86 meters). Other notable peaks over 8000 meters include Cho Oyu (8,188 meters) and Lhotse (8,516 meters), along with 6000 and 7000-meter peaks such as Baruntse, Nuptse, Pumo Ri, Guachung Kang, Nangpai Gosum, Ama Dablam, Lobuche, Tabuche, Kang Tega, Thamserku, and many more.

The upper headwaters of the Bhote Kosi, Dudh Kosi, and Imja Khola rivers, which splinter beneath the Himalaya Mountains on the Tibetan border and converge close to Namche Bazar, the area's primary settlement, make up the core portion of the park. The rivers in Sagarmatha National Park are fed by glaciers at the top of each valley. Key glaciers include Imja, Nangpa, Ngozumpa, and Khumbu.

The 20-kilometer-long Ngozumpa Glacier is bordered by four Gokyo lakes. While all glaciers are retreating, Imja Dzo has expanded since the 1970s, now covering 1,200 hectares and 45 meters deep. Several new glacial lakes have also formed recently.

Communities and Culture of the Khumbu

The natives of the Khumbu region are the people of the Sherpa caste. The history of the Sherpas dates back to the late 1400s and early 1500s when the Samlo Gang in the eastern Tibetan territory was said to escape from military and political pressure. In the early 1530s, they migrated into Nepal over the Nangpa La Pass, splitting into two groups that settled in Khumbu and Solu, further south.

One of the biggest influences on the Sherpa communities has been the introduction of mountaineering in the 1950s, which revolutionized their economy. They are the followers of Tibetan Buddhism, which was founded by Guru Rinpoche. Monasteries like Tengboche and Pangboche and other smaller gompas are held in high regard, which is the prime location for their celebrations and ceremonies. The routes and trekking trails are often covered with inscriptions and flags of the Buddhist prayer Om mani padme hum, "praise to the jewel of the lotus flower."

Seasons, Weather, and Climate

The weather and temperature of SNP vary in accordance with the season and the diversity of the geographic location. Lower alpine regions such as Namche Bazaar are considerably humid with seasonal monsoons during summer, whereas the higher altitudes are very cold and dry, even dropping to a negative 25 degrees Celsius during the winter season. Autumn and spring have a more moderate temperature and a clear sky, which is the perfect time to visit SNP.

Even so, the average temperature in the Himalayas has increased by 1°C since the 1970s, nearly twice as quickly as the 0.6°C global warming that the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported. This indicates that climate change is a serious problem. There have been visible impacts, such as the risk of the Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF), retreating glaciers, untimely snow and rainfall, and reduced snowlines.

Trails and Landmarks of the Sagarmatha National Park

The Sagarmatha National Park should be on your list to visit at least once in your lifetime. There are a variety of options you can choose from; from trekking to mountain expeditions to having a religious retreat, this protected area has got you covered. Here are some popular destinations within the National Park:

Everest Base Camp

The Everest Base Camp Trek is the most popular trek of Nepal. A trail within the park offers the best view of the Everest along with other majestic mountains and an immersive experience of the Sherpa culture.

Tengboche Monastery

Built in 1916, it is the largest monastery in the Khumbu region. An integral part of the Buddhist and Sherpa communities, at an elevation of 3,867 metres (12,687 feet), Tengboche Monastery is also known as the gateway to Everest.

The intricate architectural design, with the beautiful backdrop of Mount Ama Dablam, makes the monastery even more spiritual. It is a place of great importance for both the Sherpa and Buddhist communities.

Gokyo Lakes

TheGokyo Lakes Trek with ebc is another popular trekking journey among adventurers. It is a site of great importance, in terms of both natural and religious importance. Gokyo and its associated lakes are part of important wetlands around the world. Along with the lakes, the Gokyo Ri Trek also offers the best view of the Himalayan mountains.

Three High Passes trek

The Three High Passes Trek is a challenging adventure where the trails go through the famous high passes of the Everest region: Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La. A long and formidable trekking journey around the Sagarmatha National Park, with all-round views of Everest.

Namche Bazaar

Namche Bazaar is a bustling Sherpa town at an elevation of 3,440 metres (11,286 ft). It lies within the Sagarmatha National Park and is a trading hub for the Khumbu Region. It is the main transit for Everest treks or expeditions. Despite the lack of access to roads, Namche Bazaar has ample amenities and services that meet the demands of tourists.  

Ultimately 

Sagarmatha National Park is not only a significant part of the trekking and mountaineering community but also holds equal importance in regard to ecology and biodiversity. With majestic views of some of the highest mountains in the world and glimpses of rare wildlife, SNP is the best place to quench your thirst for outdoor adventure in every sense.

1. Choose the Best Time to Visit

Timing is crucial when planning a honeymoon, and Andaman is no exception. The ideal time to visit is from October to May, as the weather is pleasant, with clear skies and calm seas. The monsoon season from June to September can bring heavy rainfall, which might limit outdoor activities.
