| sergejf | Everest view  Date Climbed: Mar 30, 2009 | |
| Nice view of the Everest but the area on top is tiny and rapidly gets crowded with tourists that have no respect for the majestic scenery. Overall, liked the peace of Gokyo Ri a lot more. | |

| eje138 | Normal route from Gorak Shep Date Climbed: Apr 3, 2003 | |
| It was quite crowded in Gorak Shep, so we departed early in the morning to get to the top before the crowds. (Because of this I finished dressing en route and put on my gloves five minutes later than should have. Result: slight frostbite in three fingers, which healed in a week, but my hands became more sensitive to cold than before.) Perfect weather, breathtaking views, unforgetable. (A túra a Baraka elsõ Everest alaptábor túrája volt Nádi Laci nagyszerû vezetésével.) | |

| Hiked up just after dawn from Gorak Shep in an hour. Stunning views -- probably the best I've seen anywhere. | |

| Trekked through the Khumbu and what a wonderful experience. The glacial moraines were long and tiring as well as very surreal! The views made the Rockies look like speed bumps. The trek back out over Gokyo Pass was quite scary after a foot of fresh snowfall the night before. We could hear avalanches crashing down all around us in white out conditions. Made for a real adventure. | |

| We had clear weather and great views of Everest all the way from Phortse. The day we hiked up Kala Pataar, there was a bit of cloud cover that hid the mountain, but it was still a fantastic hike. Nepal is such a great place to walk about. | |

| Everything is a little strenuous when you're at these altitudes, especially when you scramble straight up! I wish I would have stayed up there longer... | |

| Early in the morning weather was perfect and the views were great. This is the place you CAN'T miss when trekking to Everest BC. | |

| mbollino | Sunset on Everest Date Climbed: Oct 11, 2003 | |
| Second time to this spot. Phenomenal grandstand view of Everest/ Nuptse and back down the Khumbu valley to Ama Dablam, etc. A popular but not to be missed spots on any trek through the Khumbu. Dont' listen to the argument over Gokyo Ri v. Kala Pataar, they both give different and stunning views. Just hike up them both! If you have clear weather, I recommned sunset. Probably the best alpinglow I've ever witnessed. On the way back down the moon rose over Everest's south shoulder. What a magical moment! | |

| Still seemed to take forever to climb even after 2 weeks of trekking in Gokyo and Khumbu. I realized I'll never be a high-altitude mountaineer. It's ok though. The views and trip were incredible. | |

| spenceinboulder | Not nearly as impressive as Gokyo Ri Date Climbed: May 4, 1998 | |
| A spectacular panorama, nonetheless. | |
