  Kala Patthar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kala Patthar is a mountain in the Nepalese Himalaya.
The main reason for summitting Kala Patthar is that it provides the most accessible point to view Mt.  Everest from base camp to peak (due to the structure of Everest, the peak cannot be seen from the base).
The ascent of Kala Patthar begins at Gorakshep (5,181m), the original base camp for Mt. Everest.
