When we reach Dingboche, it's time for our second break. While we're here, we'll take a hike up Nagarjuna Hill to help our bodies get used to the high altitude. The path we'll follow for this hike is a bit different than usual, so we need to be careful as we walk.

During the hike, we'll see some really amazing views of the mountains, like Cho Oyu, Island Peak, Lhotse, Everest, and Ama Dablam. These mountains are huge and beautiful, so it's worth the effort to see them up close. After we finish our hike, we'll have some free time to relax and rest. It's important to take it easy and give our bodies time to adjust to the altitude, so we'll just take things slow and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Dingboche.

From Dingboche, the trek takes you above the line where trees grow. The path becomes steeper and rockier as you go. You'll pass a field of ice called a glacier and climb up to Dughla, which is 4,620 meters high, going through a place called Dusa. Then, you'll follow the rocky ridge of the Khumbu glacier to reach Lobuche village. From there, you'll continue to Pyramid, where you'll spend the night. Along the way, you'll see impressive views of mountains like Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cholatse, and Ama Dablam.
