We’ll stay overnight at Chutanga and take appropriate rest to continue our journey tomorrow.
 

After spending a night at Chutanga, we’ll begin an early trek to Thuli Kharka. The day five might be a bit challenging as we’ll cross the Zatrawa La Pass (4,610m), the first high pass on the route. As we reach the top of the pass, we’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Dudh Kunda region and the Hinku Valley. After enjoying the view, we’ll now descend toward Thuli Kharka, a high pastureland from where we can witness the stunning views of Mera Peak and other snow-capped peaks.

The path is not much challenging but require stamina. After climbing for several hours, we’ll finally reach the summit, the highest trekking peak in Nepal. We’ll witness the panoramic views of the Himalayan giants like, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyo, and Kangchenjunga. Also, the magical sunrise view from the top is unforgettable. After soaking in this beauty, we’ll slowly and carefully return back to Khare, the same route we travelled earlier.

As we have completed our journey to Mera Peak, now we will slowly and carefully return back to our original destination. We’ll begin our trek from Khare, descending through the same route that led us here. We’ll once again enjoy the greenery, and all the other attraction and views on our way back to Kothe.

We have included an extra reserve day in our itinerary. We can use this day anywhere during the trek. The reserve day offers us the flexibility to adjust our schedule in case of unexpected delays due to the weather or slower trekking pace or even because of some minor health issues. In case, we completed our trek on time without using the extra day, then we can spend one more day at Kathmandu, enjoying its attraction spots.

After completing your remarkable and unforgettable Himalayan adventure, it’s time to say goodbye to Nepal, with memories that will last a lifetime and a hope to return again someday.
