The way from Chukung to base camp is very easy, about 1 hour we have to walk on the glacier and then zigzag and rocky, we can take yaks until the base camp. 3 and 1/2 hours walk and camp in the base camp. Base camp is little windy so we have to choose the place in the corner side for setting the camp in the base camp. In October season water is mostly available there in the base camp. There's also little grasses on some parts of the base camp.

Day 14: Climbing the peak: The way to High camp is slightly uphill with zigzag and rocky trail. We can also have Amadablam, Amalapcha, Amphu and glacier views on the right side and on the left side we can view Lhotse. Actually there are 2 highcamps 1st high camp and 2nd high camp, for reaching the 1st high camp it takes 1 and 1/2 hours but better to go to 2nd high camp which takes from base camp 2 and 1/2 hour for reaching there. The 2nd high camp is just close to the beginning of the ice and snow point and the camping conditions is not big flat surface there's only piece piece flat surface where only 1 tent can be set. Start climbing with your climbing guide and just after the beginning of the snow point normally there is small cravas but this craves and the way is normally naturally changing every year but you don't have to worry for it, your climbing guide will know about it and he will take care of you very well and about 100m you will have to climb with the main rope and after that you have to climb with the fix rope for getting to the summit. And when you start to climb with the fix rope the climbing route is south faced and you have to climb to the north direction on the ridge to get to summit. The summit's area is about area for fitting 1 tent but sometimes due to the snow condition sometimes it is bigger and sometimes it is smaller also. And from the summit we can view Amadablam, Khangteka, Thamserku, Tabuche, Nuptse, Amalapcha, Baruche, Lhotse, and many other miner mountains and also very nice panoramic glacier views. After enjoying these panoramic views from the summit then process for getting back down, about 150m to 200m you will have to come by fix rope and after that depends on your experience and if you are very experienced in mountaineering then you can come yourself and if you are not experienced then still your guide will help you and he will pass you down so if you have not good experience then please don't try to get down your self, you should always take your guides help. The best time for summit is in the morning 7:30 to 8:30 in the morning. The climbing duration from Base camp to the summit depends on your health condition and capacity (5 to 6 hours). And from summit to get down to base camp is 4 to 5 hours depending on your condition.
