	kala pattar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Kala Pattar is a mountain in the Himalayas, an outlier of Pumori (7,161m).
		The views from almost anywhere on Kala Pattar of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse are truly spectacular on a sunny day.
		The ascent of Kala Pattar begins at Gorakshep (5,288m), a small outpost that exists only to cater to trekkers and climbers.

		The dark "mound" in the photo is Mt. Kala Pattar taken from Gorak Shep at 17,000 ft. This is the last tea house lodge before Mt. Everest Base Camp at 17, 600 ft. Mt.
		Kala Pattar stands at 18, 450 ft. The altitude is deceiving from the view since the altitude of the mountains surrounding Kala Pattar are so much higher.
		Kala Pattar offers the best views of Mt. Everest, particularly since Mt. Everest cannot be seen from Everest Base Camp.

	TiMEZONE 7 - NEPAL
		Kala Pattar means "Black Rock" in Hindi and is the most popular view point for Mount Everest and the Khumbu icefall, the top is 5600m and the highest point we were to be at on our trek..
		Even though the climb from Lubuje to the top of Kala Pattar was a 600 meter gain, and potentially dangerous, by climbing high and sleeping lower then you have hiked up in the day we had done the best thing you can do to aid acclimation.
		However the true majesty of Kala Pattar was the incredible views of Lhotse, Nuptse, Pomori, and the Lhola Pass between Nepal and Tibet, as well incredible glaciers, turquoise lakes, and numerous other peaks.

		The Kala Pattar is the small fl hill at the foot of the Pumori.
		The Kala Pattar (this literally means fl hill) is frequently used as an outlook on the Everest on which it offers unmatchable views.
		The climb of the Kala Pattar (5.545 m) was simply impossible in that hellish weather and we decided to turn back before we got stuck to join the rest on their way down.

		A Trek in Solu-Khumbu, Nepal - Kala Pattar
		And just before we'd arrived in Gorak Shep for lunch, a woman had been injured in a freak rockfall on Kala Pattar; we witnessed the helicopter rescue as we climbed that afternoon.
		Kala Pattar doesn't have a proper summit, being basically a ridge up to Pumori, but we got to a local maximum of sorts that most people consider the "summit." It was strung with prayer flags; with a little stretching, it afforded us a glimpse of two turquoise-colored glacial lakes below the Pumori glacier:

		After an absolutely freezing start to the day - up at 4.30am, we were off to Kala Pattar.
		It's a long walk to Gorak Shep, the last village before Everest Base Camp, walking through Glacial scree and snow, the going is tough in stages, although it doesn't compare to the struggle up Kala Pattar.

		After a brief descent into an ancient lake bed of sand, the ascent of Kala Pattar begins with a series of short switchbacks followed by a long upward traverse over a mostly smooth trail.
		It was a difficult decision as it meant that Everest base camp was out for me (it turned out that no one in our group attempted to go to EBC) but I was really looking forward to Island Peak and thought that not going down now could seriously jeopardize my chances on Island Peak.
		Padam had also talked to someone on Kala Pattar who had done EBC the previous day.

		Kala Patter rises above the collection of huts at Gorak Shep (17,000 ft.; 5,182m) and provides an unforget-table panorama dominated by the south face of Mount Everest.
		However, if the weather isn't clear when you reach Gorak Shep, you'll probably want to spend the night and climb Kala Pattar in the early morning, when the peaks are more likely to be visible.
		The trail climbs a moraine, from which there is a view of Gorak Shep (a sandy, flat area with a frozen lake) and Kala Pattar.

		This trek can be done in addition to or instead of the trek to Kala Pattar and Everest Base Camp.
		It takes 2 fewer days to get a spectacular view of Everest than it would to reach Kala Pattar, which makes this route a good choice if you are short on time but still want to see Everest up close.
		This route has come to be known as "the valley of death" because of the many trekkers who develop (and ignore) symptoms of altitude sickness as they trek up to Gokyo.

		I worried that it might be impossible to climb up to Kala Pattar the next morning due to the accumalation.

	Re: Gokyo - Kala Pattar
		I flew into Lukla, walked to Gokyo, over the Cho La pass to Lobuche, up to Kala Pattar, and then back to Lukla.
		Some others who walked with me had spent a week or so walking from Jiri, and by the time we got to Gokyo they didn't have the energy to go over the Cho La pass (apart from a couple of guys).
		Apparently it is easier to go over the Cho La pass from Kala Pattar rather than Gokyo.

		As we came within perhaps thirty minutes from the dramatic pointed summit of Kala Pattar, Chris suddenly appeared right behind me. It astonished me - he had been so far back a few minutes before, and he must have seriously hauled ass to catch up.
