ARRIVAL:Upon your arrival at Kathmandu airport, our team will give you a warm welcome and escort you to your hotel in a private vehicle. Once settled in, we will provide a brief overview of the your everest base camp trek itinerary, giving you a glimpse of the adventure that awaits. In the evening, immerse yourself in the local culture as you enjoy a hearty dinner infused with Nepal's distinctive flavors. Afterward, retreat to your room for a restful night's sleep, gathering energy for the exciting journey ahead.

KATHMANDU SIGHTSEEING: Wake up to a hearty breakfast before you begin your exciting tour of Kathmandu. This diverse city is a beautiful blend of the ancient Newari culture and a rich history that stretches back centuries, encompassing both Hindu and Buddhist traditions.
 
As the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu is home to an impressive seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, each a testimony to the city’s deep cultural roots and historical significance. Today, you'll have the opportunity to visit most of these sites and immerse yourself in the unparalleled blend of the modern and the ancient, the secular and the sacred.
 
In line with the age-old etiquette "Atithi Devo Bhava," which translates to "the guest is equivalent to God," you'll find the locals to be incredibly welcoming. The harmonious and rich cultural tapestry of Kathmandu, along with its friendly residents, will surely make your day a memorable one. Rest well during your overnight stay at the hotel, surrounded by the city’s warm embrace.

LUKLA/TREK TO PHAKDING (2656 M): We will set off for the heart of our Everest Base Camp adventure in the early morning. The day begins with a private car ride to Tribhuvan International Airport, where we will catch a short but scenic flight to Tenzing Hillary Airport in Lukla; this journey takes about 30 to 35 minutes. Upon arrival, we'll meet our trek team and porters who will be accompanying us. Our trek officially kicks off at the Pasang Lhamu Memorial Gate, situated in the vibrant town of Lukla. From here, we will follow a descending trail leading us through a series of picturesque Sherpa villages, including Thalsharoa, Chheplung, Thado Koshi Gaon, and Chhuthawa, before reaching our destination for the day - <a href="../blogs/phakding-village/">Phakding</a> . This part of the trek offers us a chance to immerse ourselves in the local culture, as we pass beautifully adorned chortens, prayer rocks, and prayer wheels, all set against the stunning backdrop of Kusum Kangru and the Dudh Koshi River. After a walk of around four hours, we will reach Phakding where we can either relax or explore the nearby monasteries before spending the night in a comfortable teahouse.

TREK TO NAMCHE (3450M): The fourth day of our Everest Base Camp Trek starts with a nourishing breakfast in Phakding. We then proceed north, passing through a serene pine forest and traversing varying landscapes that alternate between uphill and downhill paths. Our route takes us across several suspension bridges and through the small communities of Toktok, Bengkar, and Chhamuwa before we arrive at Monjo.

At Monjo, we'll pause as our guide takes care of the necessary permits to enter Sagarmatha National Park. We then head towards the park entrance, following a trail that descends sharply to a bridge crossing the Dudh Koshi River. Once we cross the river, we'll hike along its lower bank, entering a forested area filled with gravel paths and large boulders.

Our path leads to the Larja Bridge, which we cross to enjoy our first view of the majestic Mt. Everest. From here, we undertake a steep ascent through a rocky trail surrounded by pine trees until we reach Mislung.

As we exit the forest at Mislung, we find ourselves on a leveled path that takes us comfortably to Namche. Once we settle into our teahouse accommodation in Namche, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy, whether that means resting or exploring the vibrant local culture and scenery. We will spend the night in Namche Bazar, resting up for the adventures ahead.

ACCLIMATIZATION: This day will be an acclimatization day spent focusing on ways to prevent us from possible mountain sickness. Rather than remaining idle, we choose to actively acclimate by embarking on a day-long hike through the scenic locales of Khunde and Khumjung, finally returning to the comforting abode of Namche Bazaar for the night. Our day's adventure starts with a trek to the Hillary Memorial viewpoint, where the beauty of Khunde, the towering Ama Dablam, and the splendid Pachermo Peak unfold before our eyes. Our trek proceeds through paths adorned with views of the Thamserku peaks, guiding us to the peaceful haven of Khunde Tsamkhang, a Buddhist temple nestled above the Khunde village. As we continue our journey to Khumjung, the largest village in the Khumbu region, we are greeted by a rich tapestry of culture and heritage. The village houses the historic Khumjung monastery, a space of spiritual reverence, and the impressive Mani wall. Our exploration extends to the Hillary school, a beacon of education in the region founded by Sir Edmund Hillary. With a heart full of wonderful experiences, we return to Namche Bazaar to rest and recharge for the continuing journey.

TREK TO TENGBOCHE (3870 M): Today's journey begins with a breakfast that energizes you for the trek past Phunki Thanga, eventually leading you through a village home to the most stunning monastery in the Everest region. Once in Tengboche, prepare to be amazed by the majestic views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Lhotse, and Nuptse. Depending on your arrival time, you may have the chance to witness a tranquil Buddhist ceremony. As the day ends, find comfort and tranquility in a teahouse where you'll be spending the night.

TREK TO DINGBOCHE (4410 M): Day 7 is here, and after breakfast, we lace up our boots to tread a path that leads through a lush green canvas of birch, conifer, and rhododendron trees. Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam stand tall, offering breathtaking vistas as we move downward to Debuche.Our journey then takes us over the Imja River, leading us to the quiet village of Pangboche. Here, we experience the upper Pangboche trails, where mesmerizing Himalayan views and the sacred Pangboche Monastery await to steal our breaths away.As we press on through the peaceful ambiance of the Imja Valley, we cross another natural wonder, the Lobuche River, before starting our ascent to Dingboche. This village, marked with chortens and prayer flags, presents a harmonious blend of natural beauty and spiritual tranquility. We will rest here for the night, surrounded by the quiet beauty of Dingboche.

ACCLIMATIZATION DAY: Today is our second acclimatization stop on the Everest Base Camp trek. It’s a day dedicated to helping our bodies adapt to the high altitude, reducing the risk of altitude sickness as we continue our journey upwards.

We find ourselves in Dingboche, a well-known rest spot for those en route to Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, and Imja Tse. This picturesque village is known for its stone walls which shield barley, buckwheat, and potato crops from the chilly wind and wandering livestock.

To aid in our acclimatization, we’ll spend the day actively exploring the surroundings. One of the highlights will be a day hike to Nagarjun Hill, a vantage point offering magnificent views of various mountains, including Mt. Makalu, Lhotse, Cholatse, Tawache, and Ama Dablam.

After soaking in the mesmerizing views and immersing ourselves in the local culture, we will retire to a teahouse in Dingboche, where we’ll spend the night.

TREK TO LOBUCHE (4940 M): Beginning our day in Dingboche, we venture northward. Just 50 minutes in, a mani-prayer Stupa greets us, followed by a gentle trail overlooking the quaint Pheriche village below. As we trek, the majestic Mt. Tawache, Ama Dablam, Pokalde, Kongma-tse, and the formidable Nuptse wall grace our path. Our journey then converges with a trail from Pheriche near Dugla, shortly before we cross a wooden bridge spanning the Khumbu glacier's river. A steep, hour-long ascent offers rewarding views of Mt. Pumori and other western Everest peaks. After a rejuvenating break, we make the final push to Lobuche, a serene village framed by Mt. Nuptse. Here, amidst tea houses and lodges, we're reminded of the thinner oxygen layer, yet the previous day's rest fuels our spirits.

TREK TO GORAKSHEP (5170 M) / EVEREST BASE CAMP (5364 M) AND BACK: Day 10 of your 15 days Everest Base Camp Trek is a pivotal point in your journey, the moment where you will finally move your way to Everest Base Camp situated at an elevation of 5,364 meters. Starting off from Lobuche, the trek to Gorakshep initiates with a flat trail for approximately an hour, followed by a steady climb that extends for another two hours. 
 
Upon reaching Gorakshep, located at 5,170 meters, you will refuel with a nourishing lunch before venturing northeast towards the trek to the Base Camp. The path there is characterized by a series of ascents and descents on a dry gravel trail, a route that demands roughly an hour and fifteen minutes of trekking.
 
As you reach Everest Base Camp, you will be greeted with a monumental pile of rocks adorned with prayer flags and a plaque signifying your remarkable achievement. This spot grants a vibrant contrast to the gray milieu, especially during the spring, offering sights of the world's towering peaks including Khumbuste, Nuptse, and Pumori. Savor this unparalleled accomplishment before retracing your steps back to Gorak Shep, where you will wind down and reflect on the day's journey over a well-earned dinner.

KALAPATTHAR (5545 M)/PHERICHE (4288 M): Today, we get up when it is still dark. We put on our headlamps and start the exciting walk up to Kalapatthar. It’s quite high, but when we get there, the view is amazing. The sunrise lights up Mount Everest and the mountains around it, and it feels really special.

After we enjoy the sunrise and take some pictures, we walk back down to have breakfast at Gorakshep. Once we are full and rested, we head to Pheriche, enjoying more beautiful views on the way. In Pheriche, we find a nice spot to sleep and dream about all the wonderful things we saw.

TREK TO NAMCHE: After breakfast, we set off for a comfortable downhill trek back to Namche Bazaar. The path takes us through Tengboche first, offering more chances to be impressed by the majestic mountains and green valleys that surround us.

The journey continues through the peaceful scenery of the Sagarmatha National Park, where we might cross paths with other groups of trekkers heading uphill. It’s a friendly atmosphere, with everyone sharing stories and tips.

We end the day in the familiar surroundings of Namche Bazaar, where you can unwind with a hot shower at our lodge. Later, take the opportunity to roam around the vibrant Sherpa capital, absorbing the local culture and hospitality. We’ll stay overnight in Namche.

TREK TO LUKLA: We begin our day with a hearty breakfast before retracing our steps back down the main track to Dudh Koshi. We continue our journey, passing through various Sherpa villages as we make our way back to Phakding.
 
Crossing a suspension bridge over the Thado Koshi, we experience a mix of nostalgia and fulfillment, knowing this will be our last day in the mountains for this trip. Our path eventually leads us to Lukla, where we spend the night at a teahouse, immersed in the mountain’s tranquility one last time.

KATHMANDU: From Lukla airport, we board our flight back from lukla to Kathmandu, marking the conclusion of our adventurous journey. Upon arriving in the capital with the whole day ahead of us, we have designated this as a "rest day." You have the freedom to choose whether to explore the vibrant surroundings of the city or to unwind and rejuvenate with a peaceful day of rest in the hotel.

DEPARTURE: Your flight will be scheduled for this day, and our staff will monitor and look after all the necessary requirements and see you off at the Tribhuvan International airport.
