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.
I recently completed a remarkable journey to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar. This extraordinary adventure was made possible through the Glorious Himalaya Treks.
I embarked on this trek during the cold season. Thankfully, my guide Ram provided me with some tea bags to alleviate my discomfort. Throughout the trek, my dedicated guide, and our diligent porter, Hari, ensured that I maintained my balance and stayed on the designated path. This was crucial for our safety, as the caravan of animals passing by could potentially pose a threat. Ram and Hari even kindly offered to shoulder my backpack when they sensed I was struggling.
The sight of the majestic Himalayan Mountains towering above us was a truly awe-inspiring experience. Glorious’s exceptional staff played an indispensable role in helping us achieve our ultimate goal. Thanks to the entire team for your great support.
