Day 01- Arrival in Kathmandu.
Our representative will pick you up from the international airport and take you to the hotel. Evening: Briefing about the trip to the Hotel.
Day 2- Fly to Lukla and Trek to Phakding (2610m) for 4-5 hours.
Early in the morning, we fly from Kathmandu to Lukla (2827m). The flight offers a spectacular view of the Himalayas as we fly parallel to the Himalayan giants bordering Nepal and Tibetan China. After landing, we will meet with our porters for the trek. We will have time to explore the village before starting the trail. The trek begins with a descent towards the Dudh Koshi River, where we join the main trail to Namche Bazaar. Walking is easy, and we will soon reach our lodge in Phakding. 4-5 hours trek. Overnight at Lodge.
Day 3- Trek to Namche Bazaar(3440m):6-7 hours.
We will ascend slowly on the route to Everest Base Camp. Advancing slowly will ensure acclimatization. We shall tread slowly from Phakding, crossing the river to walk through tracts of blue pine and rhododendron forest that is very spectacular in the spring months when the flowers are in bloom. We will cross the Dudh Koshi at Benkar and enjoy great views of the snow peaks of Kusum Kangaru and Thamserku. After Monjo, the trek will be a little strenuous as it will involve more walking and a steep ascent to Namche Bazaar. From here, it is a short walk to the entrance of the National Park, where our permits are checked before we descend quite steeply to Jorsale. The trek continues upstream on a flat terrain to the confluence of the Bhote Koshi and Dudh Koshi rivers. After crossing a large suspension bridge high above the river, we climbed steeply to the village of Namche Bazaar, which was 3440m. A slow and steady pace is recommended on this section of the climb. We are encouraged to make the most of the fantastic photographic opportunities as the peaks of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and Taweche come into view. The effects of high altitude will slow down your pace; thus, we encourage you to advance slowly. In Namche, we move into our lodge in the midst of the village, and for the rest of the afternoon, we are free to bargain for artifacts or embrace the spectacular scenery. 6-7 Hours. Overnight at Lodge
Day 4- Leisure in Namche Bazaar
We will spend a day in Namche Bazaar resting and allowing our bodies to become acclimatized to the altitude of 3,440m. In the morning, there is the option of walking up to the Everest View Hotel 3,900m, returning to Namche for lunch. Overnight at Lodge
Day 5- Trek to Tengboche (3867m)5-6 hours.
From Namche, the well-worn Everest trail contours around the side of the valley high above the Dudh Koshi. As we follow the path, we will get our first magnificent views of the great peaks of the Khumbu: Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. Passing by several villages and numerous tea shops, we will cross the Dudh Koshi River and make a steep climb to Tengboche (3867m), home of an impressive monastery. We have plenty of time to look around Tengboche and in a relaxing lodge. 5-6 hours trek. Overnight at Lodge
Day 6- Trek to Dingboche(4260m)6-7 hours.
In the morning, we will visit the monastery before descending through a forest of birch, fir, juniper, and rhododendron. The walking today is uphill, yet done very slowly to adjust to the altitude; thus, pace yourself slowly. After crossing the Imja River, the trail heads to the village of Pangboche, backed by the peak of Ama Dablam, where we will have lunch. Later, our trail climbs through open alpine hillsides before we re-cross the Imja River and old glacial remains to our lodge in Dingboche 4260m. 6-7 hours trek. Overnight at Lodge
Day 7- Dingboche – Acclimatization Day
Before we ascend any higher, we will take a day to relax and acclimate, exploring the beautiful Imja Khola Valley. Dingboche is located in a patchwork of small fields enclosed by stone walls protecting the crops. An ascent of the hill behind our lodge will showcase incredible views of the fifth-highest mountain in the world, Makalu, which is not visible from the valley floor. A walk up the valley towards Chukkung is worthwhile. The views are fantastic in this valley; to the north is Lhotse, Island Peak in the center of the valley, and the crimped ice walls of unnamed peaks that line the southern end of the valley form a hauntingly beautiful sight. Unfortunately, Everest is not visible from the village. Overnight at Lodge
Day 8- Trek to Lobuche(4930m)4-5 hours.
Today, the walk is tiring up the valley, too, so we advise you to take your time and be well-hydrated. From Dingboche, we ascend the small ridge behind the village above the Pheriche valley. From the top, the peaks of Taweche and Cholatse dramatically line the valley to the west. To the north, Lobuje Peak and the snowfields of the Cho La can be seen. At Dughla, we take a light lunch at the foot of the enormous moraines of the Khumbu Glacier flowing off Everest, and in the afternoon, we will climb steadily to reach a ridge with a line of cairns built in memory of the Sherpas and climbers who have died on various Everest expeditions over the last 50 years. From here, the view is enthralling; Pumori, Lingtren, Khumbutse, and across the border in Tibet, Changtse are seen at the head of the valley, while Everest is hidden behind the towering walls of Nuptse and Lhotse. We then follow the valley stream to our lodge at Lobuje 4930m, where we will be arriving in the early afternoon. 4-5 hours trek. Overnight at Lodge
Day 09- Hike to Everest Base Camp(5364m) and return to Gorakshep(5170m). Total 8-9 hours.
We will advance early to trek along the glacier to Everest Base Camp, which takes around 3 hours to Gorakshep and about 5 hours to get back to Gorakshep. If you are traveling during the popular climbing period from March to May, you will almost certainly encounter yaks and porters who supply food and equipment for expeditions here. From Base Camp, we do not get views of Everest, but we will be able to see the notorious Everest Ice Fall, which is regarded as the most complex and dangerous section of the mountain. We return to Gorakshep for late lunch or tea time; have an early lunch before heading to EBC as soon as you arrive at Gorakshep from Lobuche.
Day 10- Hike up to Kalapatthar(5545m) for a sunrise view and trek down to Pheriche 4200m. Total 7-8 hours.
This day, we are hiking to 5545m for a sunrise view and the view of mountains, including the loftiest peak in the world called Sagaramatha(Mt Everest) in Nepali. It will give you a difficult time to climb early in the morning due to the high altitude. Still, once you make it to the top, you will feel the most elevated and free of your tiredness .it will take 2 to 3 hours to make it to the top and about one and a half hours back to Gorakshep and continue trekking down to our destination for the day to Pheriche.
Day 11- Trek back to Namche Bazar. 7-8 hours.
We will follow the main Everest trail down the beautifully scenic valley; we pass through Pangboche, climb to the monastery at Tengboche, and continue the trek down to Namche Bazar. Overnight at Lodge
