Day 6 of the family’s Everest Base Camp trek is based in Dingboche. They hike above the village and return for another night there.
A Rest Day That Is Not Restful
On Day 6, Dave and Kim take a hike above Dingboche and return to spend another night in the village. Their notes describe climbing about 2,000 feet during this outing.
Their Day in the Trek
The episode records the acclimatization day included in their own trek. It shows the route they took and the extra night in Dingboche, without establishing an appropriate ascent plan for someone else.
Life in Dingboche
Dingboche sits in a wide, windswept valley surrounded by stone walled fields, one of the last permanently inhabited villages on the route to base camp. An extra night here gives trekkers time to eat well, hydrate, and enjoy the views, and the video offers a slower paced look at village life high in the Khumbu.
