In the daylight, it is a extensive and vertical climb through pine, fir, black juniper and rhododendron forest towards Tengboche Monastery.

We today have the next rest day for acclimatization one more time in Chhukung which is recommended before setting off for the pass. The spectacle from Chhukung and up on top of the valley on the moraines towards Island Peak (6189 m) are outstanding. We take grasp of this occasion to ascend to the Island Peak base camp (4970 m) along the Lhotse glacier, passing the puffy water of Imja Lake. The great south face of Lhotse peaks above to the north, while Amphu Lapcha a (5845 m pass) and the gigantic fluted ice walls that take over the horizon to the south. To the southwest, the eastern face, of Ama Dablam provides an unusual view of this pictorial peak.
Day 09: Cross Kogmala-Pass (5535m) to Lobuche (4910m) O/N Lodge (7-9 hours)
Starting from Chhukung we have to take-over highest pass of the trip today. Since there are no Lodges on the way, we carry a lot of water and some snacks and a readymade food. We in fact get pleasure from the inaccessibility of facilities in the area and absolute nature. We can decide on to go via any of the probable trails- either taking a climb over the hill northwest of Chhukung over the moraine of the Nuptse Glacier or we might walk back down the valley to Bibre and follow a high trail above the Niyang Khola. Just after some walk there are great views of Island peak valley and jagged ridge of Amphu Lapcha. Ascending along the east side of Niyang Khola valley, we turn west and walk through the sloppy stony trial. We enter a wide basin dotted with small frozen lakes. The trail rises over loose scree gaining the Kongma La after about five hours we leave Chhukung. Upon reaching the top, we seen cairn wrapped in prayer flags,-marks of the pass. Behind us is the landscape of icy lakes ahead down of which is the Khumbu Glacier. The final descent is the most difficult stage of the trek today, upon climbing the moraine on the far side, the trail turns north through Khumbu Glacier which takes us to Lobuche. Take packed lunch today because not any tea house along the way till Lobuche. Overnight in Lobuche
Day 10: Trek to Gorakshep (5180m) (2-3 hours) to Everest Base camp (5364m) and back to Gorakshep O/N Lodge. (8-9 hours)
We, today have to pass through windy and rocky peak of north crest to Everest along with Mt. Pumori, Mahalangur, Lingtern, Khumbutse, Nuptse, etc. We travel on alongside of Khumbu Glacier to Gorakshep. We have our lunch and in the afternoon, we get started to visit world’s highest base camp Everest Base Camp. The base Camp does not let us to have a look Mt. Everest but far-fetched view of Khumbu icefall. We trek back to Gorakshep for overnight.
Day 11: After breakfast walk up to Kalapathar (5545m) to Everest view and back to Gorakshep and trek back to Lobuche O/N Lodge (7-8 hours)
We, today have to pass through windy and rocky peak of north crest to Everest along with Mt. Pumori, Mahalangur, Lingtern, Khumbutse, Nuptse, etc. We travel on alongside of Khumbu Glacier to Gorakshep. We have our lunch and in the afternoon, we get started to visit world’s highest base camp Everest Base Camp. The base Camp does not let us to have a look Mt. Everest but far-fetched view of Khumbu icefall. We trek back to Lobuche for overnight.
Day 12: Trek to Zhonglha (4830m) (3-4 hours) O/N Lodge
Today, we will have a short trek compared to other day. The path will lead us to Dzonglha which branches off from the core path some space from Lobuche. After crossing a stream we approach through a branch and later twisting round to the wide gruff river bed of the flow, the track runs crossways and climbs the edge to the front. From the greeny ridge in front, we can see towering heights of Ama Dablam and Kangtega-Thamserku while Tawache looms outstandingly ahead. Pheriche village is also noticeable down in the valley floor. As the ridge changes direction northward, the vast Cho La Lake spreads below Mt. Cholatse. The lake flows with us over a long extend until we move down to a wide basin. The trail climbs up descends steeply to another broad basin. After walking for half an hour we cross a unsteady bridge and we reach Dzonglha. We will be staying at Dzonglha for a night.
Day 13: Cross Cho-La pass (5368m) Overnight Thangna
The trek today is one of the challenging trips; this embarks on as we incline through a spur widened westward from Dzongla. The lane slides downhill to a basin transversely which strolls a whispering stream coated with ice. We reach the top of the basin in an hour readying for the accomplishment on ChoLa. The higher we reach the view back gets ever more enchanting. The Cho La Lake comes into sight and the Ama Dablam in its pyramidal personification heads over a range of mountains on the south as Cholatse soars on the west. Mountaineering the incline is not easy; it is steep, but made worse by boulders over some of which we will have to scramble. The last climb to the ChoLa can be a little risky as the trail curves round. Upon getting to the top, we see prayer flags, hung across cairns, flapping in the strong wind. Landscape of majestic peaks in all directions is hallucinating. A bit of cautiousness is needed now when passing through Thangzak if rocks are glazed by ice. We arrive at Thangnak, a rather large small village.
Day 14: Trek to Gokyo (4790m) O/N Lodge (2-3 hours)
Today, e make the acquaintance of wonderful mountain views when stepping back from the settlement. The path brings us to the Ngozumpa glacier edge after short walk, which is longest glacier in Nepal. Arriving at the other side of the glacier, we get to sight the second Gokyo Lake on the series of six lakes. On the edge of this lake stands the Gokyo Village where we as a final spot today let our body relax for overnight.
Day 15: Rest day. Explore the Gokyo valley
To mark the popular and excellent view, we go up to Gokyo Ri (5350 m), the small crest above the lake. The peak of 5350m is also called Kala Pathar. We should not be confused with the Kala Pathar above Gorakshep, though the view is similar. After the two hours climb we can see a panoramic view of Cho Oyu, Gyanchung King, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cholatse, Tawache and many more. In addition, there are numerous small peaks in this in this region that proffers vantage points for the nearby peaks and views of the Nangpa La, the old trade route into Tibet. 
Day 16: Renjo-La Pass (5360m) O/N Lodge (7-8 hours)
To reach Marlung (4210m) after visiting of Renjo La (5345m), we have need of marching earlier. The path climbs soothingly up the edge of Gokyo Ri and then meanders hazardously up a finger of gray scree above the northwest corner of the lake. We precede early down from the Gokyo Valley; we depart from the main trail and turn to Renjo La trail by Dudh Pokhari. We reach to the Renjo La after about three hours where a incredible panorama lie ahead. The Everest itself, Lhotse, Cholatse and Taboche can be seen glittering in the sun. Charismatic image of ice on the trail while descending down can make our way down a bit risky. Alongside the way, we see Relama Tsho and Renjo Lake. We walk more or less for an hour from Lumden (4350m) to get to Marlung on the east bank of the Bhote Kosi. Overnight in Marlung
Day 17: Trek to Namche O/N Lodge (3-4 hours)
We use a traditional route used for centuries by the Tibetan traders for walking down from Marlung to Namche Bazaar. Moving downhill from the Marulung we come cross the Bhote Kosi and the direction again drops to Taranga. The track then goes through the valley of Langmuche Khola. We trek down after crossing a bridge after then finally reach Samde. The place offer magnificent views. The lane steeply descends down to Thamo village which has a monastery called Khari Goma. Then, we reach small village of Phurte where there is Laudo monastery. We, eventually reach Namche again through some Gompas, colorful prayer flags, Mani walls and Chortens for the overnight.
Day 18: Trek back to Lukla O/N Lodge (3-4 hours)
Today, after we have our breakfast, we return back over the main track down to Dudh Koshi retracing to Phakding. Following the track we reach to Lukla scaling different Sherpa villages crossing a suspension bridge above Thado Koshi.
