Day 7 is dedicated to acclimatization, allowing your body to adjust to higher altitudes. But as you may have guessed, we will hike to Nangkartshang Peak at 5080 meters, where a panoramic view of Mount Everest is seen. 

Even if you opt out of the hike, you can explore Dingboche Village. Take a walk, rest in the tea house or read a book with a heartwarming background.

At a distance of 10 km from Dingboche, our trek destination for today is Lobuche. As we gain altitude, the trail becomes challenging yet rewarding. You can view Glacier along the snow-capped Himalayas along the path as we reach our destination.
