Upon arrival at Tenzing–Hillary Airport, Lukla, we meet our local crew and begin the trek. The trail passes Pasang Lhamu Gate, descends through Chaurikharka village, and continues past Cheplung and Ghat (2,530m), where you’ll see Buddhist mani walls, rock paintings, and chortens. Following the Dudh Koshi River, we reach the beautiful Sherpa village of Phakding (2,610m).
