6th day - from Pheriche to the Pyramid

Walking up the level valley, you reach the terminal moraine of the Khumbu glacier. A 300 m (984 ft.) steep ascent leads to the hamlet of Duglha (4,620 m - 15,157 ft.) - your last stop before reaching the village of Lobuche.
The day's ascent represents one of the most taxing due to the difference in altitude, even if the trail isn't particularly difficult. You will be encouraged to rest and hydrate a lot, as well as to keep a comfortably slow pace.

At the top of the moraine past Duglha is a plateau which has been transformed into a memorial place, filled with chortens in remembrance of the Sherpas and some foreign climbers who have lost their lives on the Khumbu's highest peaks.
Continuing north along the trough of the Khumbu glacier you reach Lobuche (4,930 m - 16,175 ft.), the highest year-round village in the valley as well as the low altitude base camp of many international expeditions on Everest and Lhotse.

About 20 minutes past Lobuche, you find the frontal moraine of Lobuche glacier to the left of the trail. A left turn after the moraine takes you into a short, narrow valley which soon opens to show you your first view of the Pyramid Laboratory-Observatory.

You've reached the Pyramid and the end of your trek!
