After breakfast in Dhugla, we pass Thukla Pass, which is also called Memorial Pass, as it has quite a few small stone memories and prayer flags to commemorate the loved ones who perished in the Everest region. The trail today is easier than in previous days as it is on grassland. The view of the Himalayas, Khumbu Valley, Cholatse Glacier Lakes, Thukla Pass, and so forth make the walk really enjoyable.We continue walk to the main destination of the trek – Everest Base Camp. The rocky walk by the Khumbu glacier is quite rough and precarious on some bits, so do be careful. The first village we reach is Gorakshep where we have our lunch and continue to Everest Base Camp.
