                                This is the last section of where you shall be trekking before returning to Kathmandu. We start the trek by leaving the settlement of Thuli Kharka and reach the Zatrwa La Pass trekking past the prayer flags and cairns in an ascending walk. The top of this pass provides you with a view of Lukla valley and several lofty mountain peaks including the Cho Oyu, Kusum Khangru, Kongde Peak, and many others. With difficult terrain up in the past and the trail leading to a precarious height above the valley floor, the pass is a bit challenging for the trekkers who have been a part of long trekking. After the pass, trekkers descend all the way down to the Chutanga, and then in a straightforward walk, they reach the destination of Lukla. This marks the end of this trekking day and also the end of trekking in our expedition. We celebrate the successful trek in the region and climbing to the Mera Peak, with our fellow crew and team members with tasty local cuisines and drinks. We now prepare ourselves for the return to Kathmandu. Stay overnight in Lukla.

                                  Today we shall leave for Kathmandu. The flight to Kathmandu is generally scheduled in the morning to avoid the disturbances caused by afternoon wind in Lukla. Trekkers should be prepared for the delay or cancellation of flights due to the bad weather which is beyond our control. The flight takes you over the vast landscape of hills of Nepal with the view of the Himalayas, lush valleys, and other natural beauties.
