Everest Kalapathar Trek

Overview

The Everest Kalapathar Trek is one of the world’s best trekking trials through the south of Mt. Everest Nepal and gives you an opportunity to see the grand beauty of the famous Khumbu Valley. Everest Kalapathar Trek is an awesome experience in itself. Breathtaking mountain views along with visits to Sherpa villages, homes, and monasteries offer you an insight into the quiet but culturally vibrant Sherpa way of life. Each year thousands of tourists from all over the world come to see the beauty of Mt. Everest and trek to Everest Kalapathar.

The Kalapathar trek is a valuable audacious experience. Everest Kalapathar trek starts flight to Lukla from Kathmandu (is the gateway of Everest Region). The trek goes along the Dudh Koshi river and climbs to Namche Bazaar. Before leaving to Khunde and Khumjung (Khumjung VDC, where the Mt. Everest lies), we have a rest day at Namche. Then Trek starts to Dingboche, crossing Khunde and Khumjung, following the less trampled route. Dingboche is the sunny valley facing the sexy mountain peak, Amadablam. As the trek goes, it becomes rugged and reaches Lobuche and then Gorak Shep, the last settlement before Everest Base Camp. Blaze Mountain Adventure will reach the Kalapathar peak at the height of 5545 meters, the highest elevation on our entire Everest base camp trek.

Best Season for Everest KalaPathar Trek:

Starting from March to May, spring is considered one of the perfect months for trekking in Kalapattar, just like autumn, starting from September to November. During this period in spring, the weather is usually clear, with moderate temperatures, hence making the trek pretty enjoyable. The trail will have a plush cover of blooming rhododendron forests, adding color to the journey. From Kalapattar, the views across to Mount Everest and other peaks are superb, making it an unforgettable view of the Himalayas.

Autumn is the best time to go trekking because of cool and clear skies with breathtaking views of the mountains. The weather is totally dry, and the trail is safe since there is no risk associated with the trail in this period of time. There are fewer trekkers compared to the previous one during the autumn season; thus much calm. Autumn and spring are the best for the conditions that the Kalapattar Trek has.

Food and Accommodation on the Everest Kalapattar Trek:

Food:
Meals are included throughout the Everest Kalapattar Trek and are provided in the teahouses or lodges along the trail. Some of the normally available foods here include dal bhat, consisting of lentil soup with rice; momos, which are a type of dumpling; and western types of food that include pasta, pancakes, and soups. Food options dim as the altitudes increase, although nutritious meals of all types prevail to keep you going on your trek. Expect heavy breakfasts, healthy lunches, and full-course dinners. This will help your body fight altitude sickness, so drink and eat plenty.

Accommodation:
Accommodations are available in teahouses or lodges lining the route. The basic teahouses are family-run guesthouses that offer shared rooms, comfortable beds, and warm blankets. As you ascend higher, the rooms become simpler and modern amenities scarce. Most of the lodges have common dining areas where you can sit around, enjoy your meals, and chat with other trekkers. Higher up, it can be pretty basic, but the warmth of the stay and the hospitality from the owners make it a lovely experience. Most teahouses have hot showers; however, it may get limited to just a drip at higher altitudes, while some charging facilities are available but for a small fee.

Safety and Health on the Everest Kalapattar Trek:

The Everest Kalapattar Trek presents some health and safety concerns, above all because of the high altitude. There is a great risk of altitude sickness, so acclimatization is necessary—rest days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, ascending gradually. Also, drink lots of water, ascend slowly, and listen to your body if the symptoms persist or worsen, go back down immediately. It is also necessary to carry a first-aid kit with basic drugs like painkillers, altitude sickness medication, and rehydration salts.

Always drink bottled or purified water; avoid raw vegetables unless they are peeled, for the sake of your stomach. Have weather gear ready: layered clothing plus waterproof gear. Comfortable, well-broken-in boots are essential. Though travel insurance covering emergency medical evacuations is highly recommended, there also come options like evacuation in an emergency. There are basic medial facilities available along the key points like Pheriche and Namche Bazaar, but any serious issues should be evacuated as soon as possible to Kathmandu. Stick to these above-mentioned aspects of safety measures for a healthy and enjoyable trek.
