This trek follows the “Everest Trail” through scenic views towards Namche Bazaar and beyond along the Imtse Khola. This rather easy-paced trek also offers opportunity to pass through some Sherpa villages and Thyangboche with the Everest and Ama Dablam in the backdrop. The trek continues past the Chola pass and towards Gokyo where Gokyo Ri can be ascended for magnificent views. It takes another 3 days to descend to Lukla for a flight back to Kathmandu.
