Day 8: Pheriche acclimatization (4240m)

Another acclimatization day at Pheriche is recommended. At as Namche a solid day walk to a higher altitude is better than just resting. Dingbuche or Chhukung (4730m.) are the best destinations. Both provide excellent views

Day 9: Pheriche to Dughla (4620m)

Today is a very steep climb, with a rapid gain in altitude. This may be a day where altitude sickness becomes apparent, so our day on the track is relatively short. We take our time as the trail climbs to Phalang Kapro(4340mt). Most of the trekkers find today’s trek very tiring.We pass through village called Phulaji Kala about an hour along. After our arrival there is time to trek into the surrounding area guided by our staff if you feel up to it.
