Welcome to Nepal! Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be greeted and transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. Take some time to rest, acclimate, and prepare for the exciting adventure ahead. You may also explore the vibrant city or attend a pre-trip briefing.

Start your adventure with a thrilling early morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, known for its spectacular mountain runway. From Lukla, begin your trek by following the Dudh Koshi River through pine forests and small Sherpa villages, arriving at the peaceful village of Phakding for your first night on the trail.

Today’s trek leads you through picturesque Sherpa villages and across several suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River. The trail gradually ascends into the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Arrive at Namche Bazaar, the vibrant Sherpa trading hub, where you can explore local markets and enjoy stunning views of Everest and surrounding peaks.

Spend the day resting and acclimatizing to the altitude in Namche Bazaar. Take easy walks to nearby viewpoints like Everest View Hotel or the Sherpa Culture Museum. This helps your body adjust and reduces the risk of altitude sickness while allowing you to explore the local culture and stunning mountain scenery.

Today you’ll trek through beautiful rhododendron and pine forests, gradually ascending to the famous Tengboche Monastery. This spiritual center offers breathtaking views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and other towering peaks. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and stunning mountain panorama before settling in for the night.

Descend through forests before crossing the Imja Khola river and gradually ascending towards Dingboche. Enjoy stunning views of Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and Island Peak as you reach this charming alpine village, an ideal spot for rest and acclimatization at higher altitude.

Take a rest day to help your body adjust to the altitude. Enjoy a rewarding hike up to Chukkung Valley, where you’ll get close-up views of towering peaks like Island Peak, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. Return to Dingboche to relax and prepare for the next stage of your trek.

Begin your trek with a gradual ascent through rocky terrain and moraines, passing memorials dedicated to climbers. Enjoy panoramic views of nearby peaks like Pumori, Lingtren, and Khumbutse as you reach Lobuche, a high-altitude village serving as a gateway to Everest Base Camp.

Start with a short trek from Lobuche to Gorak Shep, the last settlement before Everest Base Camp. After a brief rest and lunch, hike further to the iconic Everest Base Camp. Take in the incredible views of the Khumbu Icefall and surrounding peaks before returning to Gorak Shep for an overnight stay.

Begin early with a steep hike to Kala Patthar, the best viewpoint for a close-up panoramic view of Mount Everest and surrounding peaks. After soaking in the breathtaking scenery, descend back to Gorak Shep for lunch, then continue trekking down to Lobuche for overnight rest.

Today, you’ll trek from Lobuche village up to Lobuche High Camp, gaining altitude gradually. This shorter trek prepares you for the summit push by helping your body acclimatize to the high elevation while offering stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.

Start early for the challenging ascent to the summit of Lobuche Peak, where you'll be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, and the surrounding Himalayas. After celebrating your achievement, carefully descend back to Thukla for a well-deserved rest.

This day is kept flexible as a buffer in case of bad weather or any unforeseen delays. Use this time to rest, acclimatize further, or explore nearby areas safely before continuing your journey.

Begin your descent from Thukla, retracing your steps through stunning mountain landscapes and Sherpa villages. Pass through Lobuche and other settlements before arriving back at Namche Bazaar, the vibrant Sherpa trading hub, where you can relax and celebrate your progress.

Today, you’ll descend through beautiful forests and cross several suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River. Enjoy the final stretch of your trek as you make your way back to Lukla, where you’ll rest and prepare for your flight to Kathmandu.

Take a scenic morning flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu. Enjoy aerial views of the Himalayas during the short 30-minute journey. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel for rest or further exploration of the city.
