Today is another rest and acclimatization day at Dingboche after Namche. It’s important to acclimatize your body to adapt to the changing altitudes and the rising elevation because there is an increased risk of altitude sickness at higher elevations.
A blue sky with scattered clouds greets us as we awake. Soak in the panorama of Ama Dablam mountain, which rises to 6856 meters (22,493 feet), as you eat breakfast. After having a delicious breakfast in the teahouse You will go out from Dingboche to hike up Nagarjuna Hill, which has a height of 5100 meters.
A fantastic way to spend time at a Dingboche is to hike to Nagarjuna Hill. Ngarjuna was located on a hilltop at the edge of the Chukkung Valley, above Dingboche. There, you can enjoy the panoramic vistas of Ama Dablam (6610m), Thamserku (6608m), Kantega (6685m), Lobuche East (6119m), and Lobuche West (6145m). You can witness the marvelous view of the Pheriche Valley from Nagarjuna Hill.
Alternately, you can go out on a hike in the direction of Chukhung Ri (4750m) or the beautiful Nangkartshang peak (5,083 m). This trail climbs to an island summit with impressive vistas of the massive Himalayas.
We will descend Nagarjuna Hill gradually and return to the hotel where we will have lunch, relax, and have some fun before preparing for our journey to Lobuche the next day.
Travelling from Canada as a family, we did the Everest Base Camp trek. We chose Glorious Himalaya because we wanted to book local companies and they had the best reviews. From the first email to Glorious Himalaya, Ganesh was responsive, explained everything and answered all my questions. He was easy to deal with.
Our guide Krishna was waiting for us at the airport, he was warm and welcoming and spoke good English. Everything went well during the trek, and when we wanted to change the itinerary, we Whatapp Ganesh and he easily made it happen. Krishna was very accommodating during the trek and went at my pace.
The porters were excellent, help us in the evenings and played cards with us, and showed us around each town.
We had a fantastic time with Glorious Himalaya and would choose them again when travelling to Nepal.
The entire trip was well-organized, transparent, and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and professional trek operator in Nepal.
