About Kala Patthar

The classic Everest viewpoint (5,545 m) above Gorak Shep — the closest a trekker gets to the summit pyramid without a climbing permit.

Max altitude

5,545 m

Nepal's most famous sunrise platform (3,210 m): Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Machapuchare igniting at dawn above Ghorepani.

Pokhara's dawn balcony and paragliding launch — Annapurna panoramas at sunrise, thermals and tandem wings by mid-morning.

The east's beloved sunrise hill over tea gardens and the plains, with Kanchenjunga on the horizon — homestay country at its best.

A 400 km Himalayan arc — Dhaulagiri to Everest — from the tower on the old Tribhuvan Highway; at its sharpest on crisp winter mornings.

Route-stop and itinerary details for Kala Patthar are still being verified by the NepalBuddy team and will appear here once confirmed.
