Today you will stretch your legs on a walking tour of enchanting Bhaktapur. The ancient city’s Durbar Square is a UNESCO-listed collection of beautifully preserved palaces, timeless temples, and carved wooden windows that showcase the artistry of the Newar people. Though the city dates to the 12th century, it continues to pulse with life today—red brick streets wind through architectural masterpieces to bustling markets and artisan workshops. Towering above it all is the five-tiered Nyatapola Temple, one of the tallest and most striking temples in Nepal. After lunch, return to your accommodation. Your afternoon is free to relax, explore, or check out the spa. Dinner is on your own to explore restaurants in town or choose one of the options at the hotel.

The Dudh Koshi (“Milk River”) rushes through the Khumbu Valley in an opalescent surge fed by Himalayan glaciers. Flowing from the high slopes of Mount Everest, its icy, mineral-rich waters carve deep gorges and power past boulders beneath iconic swaying suspension bridges draped in prayer flags. Follow its course today, crossing back and forth over bridges and weaving in and out of forest as you pass the Sherpa villages that line its banks. Catch glimpses of Kusum Kanguru and Thamserku (both over 20,000\') before arriving at Monjo (9,301\').

Branching off from the Everest Base Camp buzz, climb steadily above the valley with views of Everest and distant Tengboche. Hike quiet trails past stupas and hamlets, emerging from birch forest to a dramatic panorama of the Gokyo Valley, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku. Follow the ridgeline to Mong La (pass) (13,034\') for a spectacular picnic before descending steeply through rhododendron and juniper, the peaks of Ama Dablam, Kangtega, and Thamserku rising ahead. As you near Phortse (12,598\'), the landscape softens into terraced fields and stone houses perched high above the Dudh Koshi Valley. Spend the afternoon on your own, exploring the monastery, chortens, and mani walls, and experiencing Sherpa culture in this traditional village known for its mountaineers and only reachable on foot.

Drop into the Dudh Kosi Valley, descending through rhododendrons and fragrant pines to the valley floor. Cross the rushing river, then climb up the other side via switchbacks through woodlands that gradually reveal magnificent views of Cho Oyu (26,864\'). Continuing into alpine yak meadows you might be lucky enough to spot a rare white-bellied musk deer in the wild. Arrive in the peaceful village of Dole (13,248\'), with time for a short acclimatization hike with a panoramic vista before settling in for the evening.

Leaving Dole in the morning, climb above the tree line into open alpine terrain, where the landscape widens and views stretch across the Khumbu. Traverse broad meadows and stands of smaller rhododendrons, passing seasonal herder settlements. The trail undulates, revealing ever-changing perspectives of the valley below and soaring peaks all around, including Cho Oyu. Pass yak pastures, stupas, and prayer flags as you approach Machhermo (14,665\'), a remote village at the foot of massive Ngozumpa Glacier. A strategic acclimatization stop on the way to Everest, Machhermo is also famous for an encounter between a yak herder and the fabled yeti, reported in 1974.

Once again, you climb through jaw-dropping scenery with the Machhermo Valley disappearing below and the Himalayan giants all around you. The Dudh Kosi plunges down into valleys, under bridges, and along villages, a vital source of water in the Khumbu. Cross the river to its headwaters—the Gokyo Lakes. The terrain evens to a stark, high-altitude landscape of rock and glacial moraine, as you walk alongside the first lake’s shimmering turquoise surface, then explore the second, and arrive at the magnificent Third Lake to find a sensational amphitheater of snow-covered peaks beyond the jewel-like water.
