There we will meet our office Representative and transferred to hotel by private tourist vehicle. Evening will have welcome dinner.

The Sightseeing trip will start at 9AM in the morning after breakfast. We will provide a private vehicle and professional city guide. We will visit Pasupatinath temple, Buddhanath, Shyambhunath and Kathmandu durbar square. The evening includes a final briefing and preparations for the trek.

You will have a scenic flight of  35 minutes to Lukla (2800m). In Lukla you can see the airline office and numerous lodges. The trail from Lukla leads you to Chablung (2700) and it descends steeply to the Tharo Kosi which is also known as Kusum Kangru Khola (river). Beyond the Tharo Kosi Bridge, the trail climbs to Ghat (2590) and again climbs to Phadking.

Breakfast at Phakding before gearing up for the trek to Namche Bazaar, the biggest sherpa village in Nepal. Our trail takes us first over the Dudhkoshi river via a long suspension bridge, and then through a beautiful pine forest to Monjo, about two hours away.  We will approach the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park for a brief permit check and then descend to Dudh Kosi River (spotting Mani stones along the way) en route to Jorsale. Lunch will be served here, and then it’s uphill to Namche. Our path along the riverbank is flanked by two crossings, one of which is the Hillary Suspension Bridge. It’s a rough climb up the hill to our resting place, but we will be rewarded in Namche Bazaar with ourfirst glimpse of Everest.

At this point, we take a well-deserved break! Today will be spent resting and allowing our bodies to become acclimatized to the lofty altitude. There’s an optional 2 hour hike to Everest View Point, an uphill walk that will help speed acclimatization. Otherwise, spend the day exploring Namche Bazaar. Check out the Sherpa museum for an overview of the Sherpa culture and history of mountaineering. On Saturdays, the Hatt Bazaar is open for trading and an intimate look at the locals’ marketplace. It is part of the larger Namche Bazaar, a shopping hub filled with all manner of trekking and mountaineering clothing and equipment.

After breakfast at Namche Bazar fuels us for another day of trekking towards Base Camp today. We will see the breathtaking views of the Himalayas like Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku and Kwangde are some of the highlights not be missed. A short drop takes us to the riverside, then it’s across the river upwards through the forest pass. The Brace your legs for a continual uphill trek at this point, alternating between a gradual grade and some seriously steep ground!. Our destination, Tengboche, it is known as one of the most beautiful places enroute Everest Base Camp. Its views, which include Ama Dablam, are legendary. We will stop in on the Tengboche monastery, which is one of the largest in Khumbu. 

Today we hike through the rhododendron forest to Deboche followed by a bridge over the raging Imja Khol River. We will pass the valley wall and then traverse the plains to Pangboche village, the biggest settlement of Sherpas in the region. Enjoy a great opportunity to observe a typical Sherpa village and have lunch with the locals. The intrepid can brave a brief hike to the Pangboche monastery, one of the oldest in the area. We see some deserted mountains and we hike towards Dingboche.

We will have chance to rest up before the last leg of our adventure to Everest Base Camp. Savor a full day of exploring Dingboche and the surrounding valleys of Chhukung and Imja, the latter of which links with Island Peak, the high passes of Amphu Laptsa and Makalu Barun National Park. Taking an optional trek to the valleys will pay off in rewarding views, but taking it easy is the most important thing today. We need good rest for the penultimate day of ascent next day.

From Dingboche onward, hike will move more gradually be more challenging, due to the higher altitude. We will pass Dungla, but not before a strong  steep walk to the top of a high hill. Here are the memorial stupas dedicated to the climbers and trekkers who lost their lives to Everest over the years. The next part of our adventure brings over craggy mountain terrain to Lobuche, a small settlement with amazing views of Mt. Lobuche, Mt. Pumari and the Nuptse.

After an early rise, we have a short trek to Gorak Shep where we will have breakfast and some tea before beginning the walk up to Kala Pattar (5545m) A gradual ascent enables you to build the slow, steady rhythm required when walking at high altitude. From the lodge the ascent is quite steep, so start very slowly and try to ascend at steady rhythmic pace. Our goal Kala Pattar, is the rocky hilltop below Pumori. It is a tough walk, but the view from the top surpasses the wildest imagination. It will probably take a good hour and a half to reach the summit from Gorak Shep, although lower viewpoints will provide views almost as good. Pumori, Nuptse, Changtse, Ama Dablam, Taweche, Kantega and Everest - the highest mountain in the world, and some 200 metres below, the area of the Everest Base Camp can be seen in a bowl at the bottom of the Khumbu Ice Fall. For many trekkers, reaching Kala Pattar is a very emotional experience and it is worthwhile spending as long as you wish to savour this special moment. The descent back down to Gorak Shep is easy, Upon arrival in our lodge in Lobuche, hot tea will be waiting and a short time later our evening meal.

Lobuche, we re-trace our steps to Dughla, it seems much quicker and easier going down From here we take a different route from our ascent, following the wide alpine valley covered in scrub juniper through to the temporary settlement of Phulung Karpo (4343m), and then to Pheriche.There is also a Trekkers' Aid Post here, supported by the Himalayan Rescue Association which, although not manned year round, is well worth a visit if open. From Pheriche we cross the Khumbu Khola and ascend a short steep trail to the top of a small ridge for great views of the Imja valley, Ama Dablam and Kantega. We then descend to the small settlements at Orsho and Shomare, and then to Lower Pangboche to our Lodge.

Breakfast we then descend steeply through beautiful forest of juniper, rhododendron and fir to Tyanboche and then down again to Phunkitenga. After a welcome break and perhaps a cup of tea we cross the Dudh Kosi, and ascend to Trashinga. From here the trail contours high above the valley through Sanasa, before returning to Namche Bazaar where we spend the night.

Today we follow the trail through Jorsale and back to Phakding where we take lunch. In the afternoon it is a short walk with great views of Kusum Kangaru back to our lodge in Lukla.

We wake up early in the morning to be ready for the arrival of the aircraft at Lukla airport, for fly back to Kathmandu. We will be meet our office stuff at the airport and transfer to the Hotel.
