Flight to Lukla takes 30 minutes. You will have lunch at Lukla and then start your trek towards Phakding village, where you will spend your night. The trek to Phakding (8 km) takes 3-4 hours. Phakding is a small village but it has many well equipped lodges. The route to Phakding is stone paved and peaceful. We will mostly be walking along the trails of Dudh koshi River and Thado Khola, You will encounter beautiful Sherpa villages, farms and a mesmerizing view of mount Kusum Kangaru on your way to Phakding.

We will head towards Namche Bazaar after a night at Phakding. Namche Bazaar is also known as the gateway to Everest. The route consists of many high suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi river. You will meet the entrance of the Sagarmatha National Park near Monjo. You will have your trekking permits checked there. The path will provide you a clear view of Everest, Kusum Kangaru, Lhotse, Tawache etc. You will reach the beautiful and busy village of Namche Bazaar after a long uphill walk on the final part.

You will spend the day in Namche Bazaar to relax and acclimatize. The trek is long with abrupt increase in altitude everyday. Hence it is advisable to take a few days of rest for acclimatization. Enjoy the view of mountains including Everest, Amadablam, Lhotse, and Thamserku. You can visit the local Sherpa museum. You can also visit to the Everest View Point Hotel – the highest altitude hotel in the world. Your guide will prepare you for the remaining part of Everest Trek with required information at the end of the day.

Our next destination will be Tengboche, home to ancient Buddhist monasteries and a center of yoga and meditation. You can enjoy nice view of the sun setting in the Himalayan region. The path towards Tengboche is steep and tiring but the path is full of rhododendron trees and endangered birds. You can stop for lunch at Phungi Thanga. The stop will be brief because we will try to reach Tengboche for the 3 pm monastery service. Tengboche is one of best places of the Everest Base Camp Trek. The beauty of the place and the wonderful mountain view will help you forget the pain of the tiring walk.

You’ll enjoy a wonderful view of Everest, Amadablam and other surrounding peaks with the morning sunrise from the balcony of your lodge. The walk to Dingboche takes place through old yak trails. The village of Pangboche lies on the way. It is a beautiful place and provides you with an opportunity to rest in the middle of the trek. You will cross a couple of rivers and other small mountainous streams on your way. You will reach Dingboche after a hard uphill trek of about 5-6 hours. Dingboche is a valley surrounded by hills on every direction. It is also known as the gateway to Island peak.

You need to acclimatize yourself for further journey so we will rest in Dingboche today. Dingboche is a busy place. It is a stop for trekkers and climbers of Mount Everest, Amadablam and Imja Tse (Also known as Island Peak). The beautiful Imja river flows from the eastern part of  Dingboche. You can also pay a visit to the nearby village of Chukung. Another beautiful thing to see today is the stone walls that surround the whole valley of Imja. You must not miss the Buddhist stupa at the edge of Dingboche. The view of the surrounding area from the stupa is wonderful.

We will trek towards Lobuche, which is 600 m above Dingboche. At this stage, it is better to move slowly because of the fast increasing altitude. After crossing Thukla, the road becomes steeper and harder. The surrounding natural beauty will take your exhaustion away. You can see the beautiful view of the sun setting in the mountains of Pumori and Nuptse. You will enjoy a peaceful night at the lodge after a long walk.

The road is dangerous because you have to walk through one of the largest glaciers in the world – Khumbu glacier. You will get a very close view of mountains like Nuptse, Pumori, Lhotse, Amadablam and Everest. You will stop for the lunch in Gorakshep and then continue your trek to Everest Base Camp. The path is  challenging due to high altitude and thin air.

You will see stones with the name of dead climbers at EBC. You need to be careful on the trails because the ice movement of glaciers may mislead you. It normally takes 2 to 3 hours to reach to EBC from Gorakshep and about the same time for return.

We will now head for Kalapatthar. The place is called Kalapatthar because it is full of black stones. From there you will see perfect and clear view of Mt. Everest hidden between two mountains. This is why Everest is called the shy mountain. You will then head towards Pheriche through Gorakshep. We follow the trail of Thukla. The downward trek is easier compared to the one we took on our way up.

You’ll take a different path for coming back Instead of returning from the same old path you took on the way up. The early morning view of Kangneta, Thamaserku, Khumbu La and Kongde Ri peaks is stunning from Pheriche. The path is flat at first but starts to move down gradually. You’ll have to trek for almost 4 to 5 hours to reach Phortse. The village of Phortse, settled mainly by the Sherpa people, does not lie on the main Everest Base Camp trail. It is less explored compared to other popular villages like Pangboche and Dingboche. The villagers of Phortse are very hospitable and an evening with them provides a wonderful cultural experience.

You’ll have to trek for 6 to 7 hours to reach Monjo. The path will be easy compared to uphill trails. You will find a terrific viewpoint named Mong-la on the way. You will have your lunch at Namche before reaching Monjo. Monjo is a popular resting place for people on the way to and returning from the Everest Base Camp Trek. There are guest houses and tea houses for the night’s stay at Monjo but you also have the option to camp in tents. It is environmentally friendly and the experience is thrilling.

You will head back to Kathmandu after a small walk to Lukla airport. You can shop some souvenirs for your loved ones back home from the shops in Lukla before boarding your flight. You will say goodbye to your guides and porters, who will take you to the Lukla airstrip. You will have enough time for visiting the streets of Thamel and surrounding area in Kathmandu because the flight only takes 30 minutes. You will spend the evening by enjoying a wonderful musical and cultural show.

We will bid you farewell following a traditional Nepali ceremony marking your departure. We will drop you at the Tribhuvan International Airport, from where you will head back to your destination. You also have the option to extend your trip.
