Lobuche to Kala Patthar
Description
People who have been to Everest Base Camp or have researched the trek know the highlight of the trek is not Base Camp but is the climb to Kala Pattar above Gorak Shep to view Mount Everest from the closest and highest viewpoint on the main EBC Trail.
The trek is not particularly long, but it is uphill and at altitude. Kala Patthar has an elevation of 5,644.5 m (18,519 ft). It’s an extremely popular trek and you’ll see many other trekkers at the summit, especially in high season. But to make a FKT on this trek is pretty challenging because of the altitude.

The Pacific Crest Trail was on fire this year, and not in the usual way. Records fell left and right on this iconic 2,592.6-mile long trail. And etching her name on the illustrious FKT holder list is Jessica Pekari, who set the women’s south-bound supported record in 63 days, seven hours, and 31 minutes.
