      Day 1: Fly From Kathmandu To Lukla And Trek To Phakding (2,652M/8,700Ft) Duration 5-6 Hours.

      Our trekking adventure begins after we land at Tenzing Hillary Airport at Lukla and then follow the trail to Phakding.  The trail passes through Chaurikharka Village before heading up to Dudh Koshi Ghat (2,530m/8,300ft), then on to Phakding. At Phakding we will visit the local Rimishung Monastery.

      This morning we follow the trail along the banks of the Dudh Kosi River until we arrive at the tiny village of Jorsale in the Khumbu region โ€“ just to the south of Namche Bazaar. After a further two hour trek, we arrive at Namche Bazaar. Along the trail, you will have some impressive views of Mt. Everest (Sagamartha in Nepali). We formally enter the Sagarmatha National Park at Jorsale where authorities will ask for your trekking permit. After another 5 or 6 hours of physically hard trekking, we get to Namche Bazaar.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Exploration And Acclimatization Day At Namche.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Exploration And Acclimatization Day At Namche.

      An altitude of over 3,000 meters requires time out to acclimatize before climbing higher. To properly acclimatize to the thinning air and shortage of oxygen it is necessary to remain active. To better acclimatize we either visit the nearby villages like Khunde and Khumjung and explore the monasteries or trek up to the old Sherpa Village of Thame. These villages reveal the culture, architecture, and lifestyle of traditional Sherpas. We can also visit the museum, National Park Headquarters, or simply enjoy the internet services, bakeries, and cafes in this thriving town.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Trek From Namche Bazaar To Tengboche (3,867M/12,684Ft) Duration 5-6 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Trek From Namche Bazaar To Tengboche (3,867M/12,684Ft) Duration 5-6 Hours.

      On the trail to Tengboche, we have wonderful mountain views of Ama Dablam, Lhotse Shar, Taboche, Khangtega, and Thamserku peaks. Further along the trail, we come to the army checkpoint at Phunke Tenga Village. The afternoon is free and will allow us to visit the Buddhist monastery at Tengboche. We can also take a trail up a steep hill to the Sagamartha National Park Headquarters. There is also a  Buddhist monastery here at Pangboche that is worth a visit.

  • Day 5 Day 5: Trek From Tengboche To Dingboche (4,358M/14,295Ft) Duration 4-5 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Trek From Tengboche To Dingboche (4,358M/14,295Ft) Duration 4-5 Hours.

      Todayโ€™s trek from Tengboche to Dingboche is only a short distance which will see us arrive at Dingboche in the afternoon. The last hill before coming to Dingboche, and at this high altitude, is physically challenging! The trail then continues on to the village of Somare (4020m) and then to Orsho. Later the trail divides, with the left trail leading to Pheriche. We then cross a suspension bridge and have that steep climb to Dingboche (4460m) where there are many good guesthouses to choose from.

  • Day 6 Day 6: Trek From Dingboche To Lobuche (4,928/16,164Ft) Duration 5-6 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Trek From Dingboche To Lobuche (4,928/16,164Ft) Duration 5-6 Hours.

      This morning we have an easy walk towards Thukla before crossing the steep terminal moraine of the Khumbu Glacier, and then we trek across the large rocky slopes as we ascend to Chupki Lhara where we find clusters of stones with prayer flags placed by Sherpas as a monument to Scott Fischer (American mountaineer), 10-time Everest summiteer Babu Chiri Sherpa (Nepalese Sherpa mountain guide) who died while attempting to climb Mt. Everest. The path then continues on to the Khumbu Glacier moraine and from where we have some fantastic views of several mountain peaks: Khumbutse, Lingtren, and Mahalangur Himal.

      Day 7: Trek From Lobuche To Gorak Shep & Hike To Everest Base Camp (5,364M/17,490Ft) Duration 7-8 Hours.

      This morning we hit the trail and continue to Mt. Everest Base Camp through the immense Gorak-Shep. On the trail, we pass the Indian army mountaineersโ€™ memorials. The thin air at this high altitude can be tiring which necessitates us moving at a slower pace. We cross rocky dunes, moraines, and streams before arriving at EBC. From here you will see some of the worldโ€™s highest snow-covered peaks that stand in stark contrast to the gray and rocky surroundings. Before we are Khumbutse, Nuptse, and Pumori. We will then head back to Gorak Shep for a well deserved nightโ€™s rest at Gorak Shep.

      The early morning trek up to Kalapathar (5550m) is a memorable experience as we watch the sun rises and how it reflects off the snow-covered peaks of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and other similarly glorious mountains. We then head back down to Dingboche (via Lobuche) before arriving at Pheriche. 

  • Day 9 Day 9: Trek From Pheriche To Namche Bazaar (3,440M/11,283Ft) Duration 7-8 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 9: Trek From Pheriche To Namche Bazaar (3,440M/11,283Ft) Duration 7-8 Hours.

      This morning we head downhill, somewhat easier and less tiring as we head to Debouche and Tengboche before arriving at Phunke Tenga. Further downhill we come to the Dudh Koshi River where we cross the suspension bridge and follow the trail heading to Namche Bazaar. At Namche Bazaar we can see the conspicuous snow-capped peaks of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Tawache, and Lhotse. 

  • Day 10 Day 10: Trek From Namche Bazaar To Lukla (2,652M/8,700Ft) Duration 7-8 Hours.

      Day 10: Trek From Namche Bazaar To Lukla (2,652M/8,700Ft) Duration 7-8 Hours.

      On our last day on the trail, we head to the Monju Village following the same trail we previously took from Lukla via Phakding. On the trail, we have wide-ranging views down into the valleys that are mostly inhabited by Sherpa people. On our arrival at Lukla, we have some free time where we can stroll around the village.

At Kathmandu, we will take you back to your hotel in Thamel where you can relax and look back on your journey to EBC. You will find many cafes and places to unwind. You may decide to wander around the winding and narrow streets to do some last-minute shopping before your departure from Nepal.
