The trek for the climb begins in Lukla where we take a flight from Kathmandu. From Lukla, we head south-east cross the 4,600m / 15,000ft. high Zatrawa La to enter into Hinku Valley and follow the Hinku Drangka (stream) which gradually climbs to kharkas (pastures) of Dupishung and Lungsamba passing Kusum Kanguru 6,369m/20,896ft on our left. Onward, the valley steepens and our trail follow the Dig glacier – passing a glacier lake formed at the foot of 6769m/22,208ft Tang-nag Tse. We stop here to get more acclimatized and explore the Hinku glacier and approach to Kangtega 6,782m/22,244ft and impressive looking peak which overlooks the Tengpoche monastery situated on the other side of the mountain. From Digkharka the path climbs more steeply to Khare 5099m / 16,729ft – our base camp for the climb.
From our base camp at Khare, we climb to Mera-La 5415m / 17767ft and set up a high camp. Above Mera la, we climb to 5800m./ 19028ft and set up another camp for the summit attempt on the following day.
