Located at 4,800m, Thukla Pass lies on the Everest Base Camp route and leads to the tiny hamlet of Lobuche where trekkers spend a night before their final approach to the base camp. The top of the pass has over 100+ memorials of climbers who have lost their lives while attempting to climb Mt Everest.
