Flights

Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Lukla. Because there is no direct connection from Kathmandu to Lukla, travelers have to travel for four hours (shared Hiace Van journey) from Kathmandu to Manthali Airport. This is due to heavy traffic at Kathmandu’s international airport (Oct-Nov and March-Apr). We will then take a direct flight from Rameechap Manthali Airport to Lukla Airport). If you want to travel by private vehicle, an additional cost of USD 100 must be paid. In terms of flight time, Travellers should plan to check out at about 1 a.m. for the same-day flight. If you opt to remain one night in Rameechap for the same-day flight, you will be charged an additional amount for the hotel, which will be approximately USD 50 per person. Lukla to Kathmandu or Ramechhap

Day 1 Flight From Kathmandu (1,338 M) To Lukla (2,840 M) & Trek To Phakding (2,610 M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Flight From Kathmandu (1,338 M) To Lukla (2,840 M) & Trek To Phakding (2,610 M)

Every day, the flight to Lukla leaves early in the morning. Therefore, we will leave our hotel as soon as possible after having a quick breakfast.

The flight to Lukla is considered as one of the most daunting and adventurous flights in the world. The plane will pave its way through the thunderous clouds giggling over the undulating hills and ridges. A little farther from the hills, a whole array of mountains glitters, creating a perfectly serene scene of nature. There is barely any flat section visible during the flight. Once we land in the airport of Lukla, we will get our backpacks ready and head towards the Phakding. The path is off-the-beaten and passes through the colorful farm-fields until arriving at a wonderful village of Chopulu. Then, the trail proceeds to another village of Ghat. But, just before we arrive at Ghat, we will be welcomed by the remarkable view of Kusum Kanguru peak. Then, the trail continues to the Phakding, where we will spend our first night in Everest.
Day 2 Phakding To Namche (3440M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Phakding To Namche (3440M)

From Phakding, the trek to Namche can be taxing in some measure because of the effects of the altitude. So, to avoid any problematic situation, it is better to walk slowly with controlled breathing.

First, the trail contours around the west side of the Dudh Koshi River and crosses a suspension bridge to keep ourselves west of the river. The views are blocked by a tall hill, spanning in a north-south direction. But, as we arrive at Tal, a beautiful waterfall gives us a consolation reward. Soon, another waterfall waits at the village of Bengkar, which is also famous for its good apple pies.

We will continue to the sensational forest of Sagarmatha National Park and check our permits at Monjo. The walk is very much pleasant through the wilds of the mountains and bestows us with a cheering glimpse of the Mt. Everest, the legend of the world.

A beautiful Kani Gate welcomes us to the village of Namche.
Day 3 Namche Rest
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Namche Rest

Namche has a long trading history. The ancient trading routes crisscross the village and linked the Tibet with Nepal in the past. The primary import was salt, exchanged for other commodities. These historical moments are captured in the museum of Namche. Also, there are wonderful viewpoints to join and enjoy the natural scenery.

From Namche, there are two options for a side-trip. While Thame is the option for mountain lovers, the one who loves to witness the classic culture of Sherpas can go to the village of Khumjung and Khunde. There is also a Hillary hospital at Khunde, founded by Sir Edmund Hillary in 1966. It is a nice walk.

All these fantastic places make Namche an ideal spot for acclimatization.
Day 4 Namche Bazaar To Tengboche (3860M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Namche Bazaar To Tengboche (3860M)

After proper acclimatization, the walk to Tengboche becomes an easy one. We will go through a picturesque Tenzing Norgay Memorial Stupa. There is a viewpoint, peering at the first views of Ama Dablam, Lhotse Shar, Taboche, Kangtega, and Thamserku peaks. It is incredible.

While continuing the journey, you will see a beautiful chain of 7 water-driven prayer wheels, spinning by the pace of the river, before a suspension bridge. This bridge shows us the path ahead to the Tengboche through the quaint pastures, used by yaks for grazing.

Don’t miss out a visit to the Tengboche Monastery as it is artistically delicate and architecturally superior. It is the largest monastery of the Everest Region (Khumbu Region) and paintings of the interior of the monastery are worthy of every diamond on the planet.
Day 5 Tengboche To Dingboche (4360M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Tengboche To Dingboche (4360M)

A trek to Dingboche is one of the most gratifying days of the overall trekking in the Everest region as you will encounter some of the unusual views of the Himalayas that only a few have witnessed it in other mountainous regions. While trekking to the Dingboche, become aware of the possible altitude effects and walk slowly.

For a while, the walk is quite disappointing with no better views of the mountains. But, as you cross a bridge to be on the west side of the river, the whole prospect of the mountains becomes visible. It is when you realize how fascinating the mountains are and why people crave for trekking in the Everest region? You will meet some of the unexpected valleys and gorgeous rivers before entering into the Dingboche.

A village of Dingboche looks like a typical stone village where the stone walls and stone houses are ubiquitous. These walls are built around the farm fields and the houses to protect them from the heavy winds. People are smiley and speak Sherpa Language. It is a pleasant village.
Day 6 Dingboche Rest
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Dingboche Rest

Sparing a day off at Dingboche is crucial for acclimatization if you don’t want to spoil your rest of the journey. Explore the local houses of Sherpas to take a deep insight into their lifestyle and culture. See how they prepare alcohols to warm up their body and savor their daily cuisines with them. This is how you create real-life experiences.

From Dingboche, we will take a side-trip to the Nangkar Tshang hill (not to be confused for Nagarjun hill of Kathmandu) to witness the panoramic views of the mountains, particularly of Makalu and Island peak, from the top. We will come across a small and classic monastery of Nangkar Tshang before entering into the wild jungle, leading to the hilltop. Rhododendrons and butterflies overwhelm the path in the spring.

Later, we will return to Dingboche for the overnight stay.
Day 7 Dingboche To Chhukung (4750M) Chukung Ri (5546M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Dingboche To Chhukung (4750M) Chukung Ri (5546M)

A trek to Chhukung is not as hard as one might expect, but the real challenge comes when you hike to the Chhukung Ri.

Chhukung Ri, at an altitude of 5,550 m, poses greater risks of the altitude sickness. However, the reminiscing views of the Makalu, Lhotse Shar, Pumori, and Cho Oyu are simply magical. Nothing is as pure and untouched as these mountains are. On a clear day, the icy walls of Baruntse add further charm to the scenery.

Later, after spending quality time on top of the Chhukung Ri, we will descend to the Chhukung for the night stay.
Day 8 Cross To Kongma La Pass (5535M), Treks To Lobuche(4940M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Cross To Kongma La Pass (5535M), Treks To Lobuche(4940M)

From Lobuche, the path goes along the ridge and crosses several ups and downs to finally arrive at the Gorakshep. The views of the snowy pyramids, on the west, are worth seeing on the way. From Gorakshep, we will catch a side trip to a wonderful viewpoint of Kalapatthar. While many people attempt this hike in the next day morning, we will hike in the afternoon because the sunset views from the Kalapatthar are far better than the sunrise views. The southern black face of the Everest and countless dotted ranges make this viewpoint one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the world.

Later, we will return to Gorakshep for the overnight stay.
Day 9 Lobuche To Gorak Shep (5170M), Visit Everest Base Camp (5364M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Lobuche To Gorak Shep (5170M), Visit Everest Base Camp (5364M)

Early in the morning, we will hike to the Everest Base Camp. At a glance, the base camp is a vast snowscape with the views of the mountains covered by the thick haze. But the feeling of being on top of the world is enough to rank Everest Base Camp as one of the best destinations in the world. At base camp, you will see some of the climbers preparing for their ascent to the Everest’s top. The views are interesting to see from the Everest base camp.

We will, then, descend back to the Gorakshep, have our lunch and then, head to the Lobuche. On the way to Dzongla, a beautiful turquoise lake of Tshola will make your day.
Day 10 Gorak Shep To Kala Patther(5545M), Then To Lobuche (4940M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Gorak Shep To Kala Patther(5545M), Then To Lobuche (4940M)

Early in the morning, we will hike to the Everest Base Camp. At a glance, the base camp is a vast snowscape with the views of the mountains covered by the thick haze. But the feeling of being on top of the world is enough to rank Everest Base Camp as one of the best destinations in the world. At base camp, you will see some of the climbers preparing for their ascent to the Everest’s top. The views are interesting to see from the Everest base camp.

We will, then, descend back to the Gorakshep, have our lunch and then, head to the Lobuche. On the way to Dzongla, a beautiful turquoise lake of Tshola will make your day.
Day 11 Lobuche To Dzongla (4830M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Lobuche To Dzongla (4830M)

First, the trail drops from Dragnag and then ascends again over the curvy moraine that marks the further way ahead to the Cho La pass. The rocky boulders, on the way, add an extra challenge, but once you are on top of the Cho La pass, the second pass that we will go through, the views of the incredible glacier walls and the snowy spires add magic into the air. Even the views of the Everest and Gokyo could be seen from the top. After a while, we will descend to the Dragnag to abate the altitude effects. The descend walk is challenging because of the slippery trail. Shoes with crampons are highly recommended here. Once we arrive at Dragnag, we will check-in to a teahouse.

The weather can get unpredictable in this region, even in the months of autumn and spring, so prepare early as per that. Foods and accommodations for this day will be managed in Dragnag.
Day 12 Dzongla To Gokyo (4800M) Via Cho La Pass (5368M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Dzongla To Gokyo (4800M) Via Cho La Pass (5368M)

From Dragnag, we will walk along the steep icy path across the Ngozumpa glacier, the longest glacier of Nepal, to arrive at the Gokyo. On this day itself, we will pay a visit to the Gokyo Lakes System, the world’s highest freshwater lake system consisting of the six major lakes. The turquoise blue water of these lakes invigorates the soul with a sense of warmth and pleasure. Religiously, this lake system is considered to be the abodes of snake gods and in every Janai Purnima, Hindu’s festival that falls in the month of August, the pilgrimages come to dive into the pristine cold water of Gokyo. It is a surreal experience to explore the Gokyo lakes system.
Day 13 Rest Day In Gokyo And Climb Gokyo Ri (5357M
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Rest Day In Gokyo And Climb Gokyo Ri (5357M

Gokyo Ri is the Kalapatthar of the Gokyo region. The views of the breathtaking Gyangchung Kang and Cho Oyu are so sensational that it triggers all your six senses, including the mind, simultaneously. To arrive at this viewpoint, however, is not easy. The path is pretty steep and icy, so consider the dangers of ascending prior to joining the trail. Walk slowly and breathe regularly as it helps in the acclimatization of the body. Once you are on top, the views are all yours. Some people believe that the views from the Gokyo Ri are better than that from the Kalapatthar as well. Later, we will descend back to Gokyo.
Day 14 Gokyo To Marlung (4210M) Via Renjol La Pass (5360M)
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Gokyo To Marlung (4210M) Via Renjol La Pass (5360M)

A trek to Lungden from Gokyo is, indeed, a big day as you are about to cross the last pass of the Everest Region- Renjo La pass. This pass is the only one that can be crossed by the yaks. Despite that, the final ascent can be really taxing for any avid trekkers to complete. The trail is steep and sometimes goes flat, but even the flat sections are equally difficult to climb because of the altitude. Once you rise to the top of the pass, the glittering panorama of Everest and Makalu are breathtaking. The whole view appears dramatic and can be ranked 5/5 for its design and aesthetic appeal.

The descent to Lungden is also very hard. The icy terrain and the stone stairs put more pressure on the knees, so ascend slowly and calmly. Once you are on Lungden, the faraway views of the Himalayas can still be enjoyed.
Day 15 Marlung To Namche Bazaar
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Marlung To Namche Bazaar

This morning, we proceed downward on the trekking trail, which extends over Bhote Koshi River to Taranga then continues across suspension bridges to Thame i.e. famous for the monastery i.e. oldest in the whole region. Through many Sherpa Villages, the trail ends up at Namche Bazaar.
Day 16 Namche Bazaar To Lukla
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Namche Bazaar To Lukla

The trekking trail progresses adjacent to the rushing river of Dudh Koshi beyond the rugged terrain and woodlands of rhododendron, pine and oaks guided by the mountain scenes. Lastly, the trail concludes where it had originally started i.e. Lukla. You may take a stroll around the Lukla village and recall the reminiscence of your previous adventure.
Day 17 Lukla To Kthmandu Or Manthali Airport Ramechhap
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Lukla To Kthmandu Or Manthali Airport Ramechhap

Flight to Kathmandu is the return flight. Make sure you are aware of the flight confirmations. Enjoy the scenery from the windows of your airplane

In the peak seasons of Autumn (September to November) and Spring (March to May), there is no direct flight between Kathmandu -Lukla and Lukla - Kathmandu). therefore we have to take a alternative route through Kathmandu- Ramechhap- Lukla and Lukla- Ramechha- Kathmandu. the distance between Kathmandu to Ramechhap 131km, takes 5/6 hours in a car/Jeep and 15min flying to Lukla and same way back to Kathmandu from Lukla at the end part of the trip.
