The travel plan:
Day 1. A departure from Kiev, the airport Shardzha.
Welcome to the Himalaya country Nepal. After your arrival in the international airport Tribhuvan our representative will meet you and will help to take place with your hotel in Katmandu. The rest of day - rest in hotel.
Day 2. Katmandu
The plane arrives to capital Katmandu early enough. After settling in hotel there is enough time to buy in addition missing equipment or to walk on an old city. Though most likely you will simply want to have a rest and sit in one of small restaurants. To sit, truth, we will be not too long - tomorrow an early departure.
Day 3. Flight in Luklu, Pakding.
Since the morning, only having opened eyes, we start to pray, that there was a flight weather. To fly to Lukly of only 40 minutes, but to wait for "window" in clouds it is possible much, much longer. If who does not remember, Lukla is that aeroportico where the strip of 450 metres begins breakage, and comes to an end with a rock. Pleasant flight!
Having landed in Lukle (height 2800) and having appeased a shiver in knees we have dinner... Also we start to go. For today it is necessary to reach village Pakding (height 2652). You were not mistaken - we go down a little. It is not necessary to worry, it not for a long time. We only should cross the river Dudkoshi. The first suspension bridge on a route.
Time in a way: 4 hours
Day 4. Намче a market
While road simple, height differences small. We go, we breathe, we admire the first шеститысячниками (Tamserku - 6608м), we enter into the form. Around coniferous woods - means in the evening in hotel there will be an oven (in a dining room). In village Mondzho we pass check of admissions (пермитов) - here a front entrance in National park Sagarmatha (one of names of the Everest, in transfer - Mother Bogov).
We pass pair of villages, we go down a little in the end to receive a charge to pepper - abrupt, heavy, infinite lifting to Namche to the Market. Намче - the region capital, rather advanced place with good hotels and crowds of tourists. We enjoy comfort at last.
Time in a way: 6 hours
Day 5. Кумджунг, a scalp of the yeti
To a place of a today's lodging for the night, village Kumdzhung only 2,5 kilometres (on a straight line). But the height already prevails, liftings are given all more difficultly, therefore we go неспеша - about 3 hours. On road we come in музейчик with cool clothes of prehistoric climbers. A museum, certainly on the fan, but from here, from a hill, Lhodze and Ama are visible the Everest, to Doubles.
More close by a dinner we go down in Kumdzhung (height 3780). The settlement has lain down in flat долинке with a fertile ground and consequently is main in district the manufacturer of a potato. Here it would be possible and to relax, but with a view of acclimatisation it is necessary to wander a little more after district. For example to descend in a local monastery, to look at the dried scalp of the yeti.
Time in a way: 3 hours + 2 радиалка.
Day 6. Transition in the Dale
We continue ascent. Snow-covered tops expensive to heart are even more often visible. To already familiar to the Everest (it while it is hardly visible), Lhodze and Ama to Doubles increases Nuptse.

Time in a way: 4 hours.
Day 8. Гокио (4800)
For Machermo the track climbs up a crest - an excellent kind all valley of Kangtega up to восьмитысячника Cho-Ojju (behind it already China). Behind a crest a small village of Pangka, a little we will have a rest, then we cross the river and we creep to a moraine of a titanic glacier of Ngozumpa. It lasts from Cho-Ojju and feeds those lakes Gokio for the sake of which we here were secured. It is necessary to suffer, it is last big lifting for today. More or less flat valley and lakes - further begins Longponga (4650), Tauzhun (4710), Dudh Pokhari (4750). On the bank of the last we also will moor in one of лоджей settlement Gokio.
Time in a way: 4 hours.
Day 9. Радиалка to the top lakes Gokio (4980)
If there will be forces go upwards on a valley to the fourth (Tonak Tsho, 4840м) or the fifth (Ngozumpa Tsho) from lakes Gokio. Potrjasnye kinds on Cho-Ojju. By the way it is "idle time" from восьмитысячников:) Then we come back in ours лодж in Gokio, to have a rest before a tomorrow's ascension.

Nuptze are visible the Everest, to Lhotse, Makalu, Cholatse and Taboche. After a rest half an hour at top we begin descent (an hour and a half). On the way back we catch new foreshortenings of already familiar lakes Gokio.
Having returned it is had breakfast also to steam of a watch it is had a rest. Then we are rolled away to the second lake and we cross a moraine. Our purpose - a small village of Dragnak (it Thangnak, 4700) on other party of a valley (3 km on a straight line)

From a lodging for the night to pass of 4 km across and 600 metres on a vertical. Lifting on pass goes on stony taluses, and basically is not combined, though is abrupt. On other party of pass Cho-La we should cross a glacier (boots!). We go down in a tiny small village of Dzongla (4850) and on the way we ask the Buddha about vacant rooms in лоджах for with it problems are possible. As a last resort it is necessary to walk 6 more km to the big village (Лобуче).

Day 12. Лобуче, Gorakshep (5170)
Having rounded small пятитысячник we will enter into a valley of a glacier of Khumbu. We have dinner in Lobuche (4940) - large settlement with a heap лоджей and crowds треккеров. The new valley means new kinds - today we admire Nuptze (7861). We continue a way on West side of a wide valley of Khumbu. The glacier under a moraine is active enough, therefore the track переодически changes the arrangement (we do not yawn, we look where we go).
Directly at the rate flaunts conic семитысячник with Pumori. On one of its crests the peak of Kala Pattar is visible (the Black rock, 5550) from which top in couple of days we will survey the Everest.

Day 13. Радиалка in base camp of the Everest (5316)
After cold бессоной nights (and that you wanted at such height?) it would be quite good to walk. We go in радиалку on Base camp of the Everest. Expeditions at this time there most likely will not be, but ледопад Khumbu will please with the scale and unusual paints. On it climbers stamp to the first camp. Though to us this (ascension) also does not shine, nothing prevents to dream up a little bit. We come back in Gorakshep in the evening.
Time in a way: 4 hours.
Day 14. An ascension on Kala Pattar (5550), Lobuche (4940)
