The dusk view from Kala Patthar is more honorable than the dawn view, so it is proposed to visit Kala Patthar today amid nightfall. As the setting sun's beams strike the snow topped mountains the subsequent view is incredible.

We begin well in time post lunch to get the sensational perspectives of the surrounding view from Kala Patthar seeing the last light of the day reflecting on Mount Everest. Recognizable peaks, to the likes of Lingtren, Khumbutse, Changtse tower toward the east even as Everest uncovers itself between the west shoulder peak and Nuptse.

After a strenuous climb for some hours, we reach Kala Patthar. We scramble few rough patches and reach the summit set apart by cairns and prayer flags. As we are on the top, we enjoy some of the most unimaginable Himalayan Panorama, meandering relentlessly between one massif and then onto the next.

Customized Private Group For Everest Three Passes Trek

Trekking is a very personal activity and is perhaps one of the very few activities that give you enough time to indulge with yourself or your beloved people, a group of special friends, or close family members. It helps you transform personal bonds to the next level as it brings out everyone's best and truest self. Trekking is most enjoyed when it is done in a small private group, personalized to serve your specific needs. The Himalayas are best experienced when there is silence and solitude around and when you are surrounded only by your best people. Your trek is most enjoyable when all the pain of arranging a smooth trek is taken care of by us, and you focus just on your trek and yourself. Most importantly, a small private trekking group is very flexible, personalized, and more enjoyable, is the safest, and follows the principles of Sustainable and Responsible Tourism. Most trekkers book us for arranging personalized private treks catering to their specific and unique requirements - Customize This Trek
