Early morning with a headlamp and packed lunch, we will start hiking towards Kalapathar (5555m) from Gorakshep. The hike is quite adventurous yet, worthy. It takes two hours to reach Kalapathar from Gorakshep. Upon getting to Kalapathar, some of the world's tallest mountain peaks will surround us. The magnificent sunrise view over the peaks of Mount Everest, Pumo Ri, Mt. Nuptse, and Changtse is jaw-dropping from the top of Kalapathar.
After admiring the panorama from Kalapathar, we will return to Gorakshep, and have lunch there. After lunch, we will descend to Pheriche (4371m) and stay a night there. To get Pheriche from Gorakshep, it takes 4-5 hours.
