14-Day Everest Base Camp Trek from Kathmandu with UNESCO sites

• After you arrive at Kathmandu airport, your representative will greet you and drop you at the hotel.
• After check-in, you can either rest or hang around in the city.

Overnight at the hotel.

• Early in the morning, we take a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. The flight duration is around 40 minutes.
• After landing, the guides and porters will divide the baggage, and we can have a good look around and take pictures. Afterward, we walk on a trail that gradually descends to Cheplung village, from where we get a glimpse of Mt. Khumbila, a sacred mountain that has never been climbed.
• From here, we gradually descend until Phakding.

Overnight in Phakding. We can spend our evening wandering around the village.

• Today's trek starts in the morning after breakfast. We take a steep walk through a beautiful pine forest that leads us along the Dudh Koshi River and passes Chumoa and Monjo villages before reaching the entrance of Everest National Park.
• The walk is enjoyable through the riverbed, and we reach the Hillary Suspension Bridge. After crossing the suspension bridge, we pass Jorsale village and walk alongside the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers. Finally, we climb uphill towards Namche Bazaar, where magnificent and closer views of Kwangde Peak, Kusum Kangaru, Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Tawache and many other fabulous mountains can be seen. Namche Bazaar is probably the biggest town for visitors to purchase traditional crafts and other souvenirs.
• We will spend two days in Namche for acclimatization and to visit local markets and learn about the traditions of the people living in the Himalayas.

Overnight at Namche, inclusive of full board meals.

• We have set this day aside for acclimatization. Our body must be prepared for further ascent.
• We have the day at our disposal and can choose to do whatever we like. Next, we walk up to the Everest View Point for panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Amadablam, Tawache and more.
• On our way back, we will visit the Sherpa Culture Museum and Everest Photo Gallery, where we can observe various things.
• We also have enough time to learn about the Sherpa and their culture.

Overnight at the guesthouse.

• Today after breakfast, we start our trek with an enjoyable walk through the forest with magnificent mountain views.
• We choose the upper trail and pass through several chortens, Mani walls and small villages. Great views of mighty peaks like Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku and Kwangde Peak are constant throughout the day.
• Today's trail ascends through the forest on its way to Tyangboche. It has a large campsite, tea houses and lodges overlooking Mt. Ama Dablam.

We will spend the night at a hotel in Tyangboche.

• Today after breakfast in Tengboche, we set off for Dingboche. The day consists of a lot of descending until we arrive at Deboche. The trail then ascends through the rhododendron forest. We walk downhill to Debuche and cross the Imja River to reach Pangboche.
• We decide to take the upper Pangboche trail and admire the Himalayan vista and the Pangboche Monastery.

Overnight at Dingboche.

• It is an acclimatization day again. Instead of staying idle, we climb a ridge behind the village and see six of the world's tallest peaks, including Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu.
• Furthermore, we can also admire Cholatse and Taboche peaks. Chhukung is a small hill station overlooking many mountains and glaciers.
• We can also admire the picturesque Imja Khola Valley and the beautiful Dingboche village from another location on the ridge. There are numerous other walking options up the valley sides if you feel like exploring.

Overnight at Dingboche.

• We depart Dingboche and begin our relatively short journey to Duglha. We walk through alpine meadows and yak pastures to cross the Khumbu Glacier. The end of the glacier's moraine is especially steep and presents a challenge.
• As the trail drops to the Khumbu Glacier moraine, we face several great peaks, including Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori and Mahalangur Himal.
• As we cross the Khumbu Glacier, we can also see the breathtaking view of Mt. Nuptse.

• Gorak Shep is the last stop before Everest Base Camp. As we reach the base camp, we enjoy the incredible melt patterns and admire the gently rounded ice towers on the upper part of the Khumbu Glacier. Everest Base Camp is stunningly beautiful.
• We can enjoy amazing views of Nuptse, Khumbuste and Pumori mountains from the base camp.
• After soaking in the beauty, we walk back towards Gorak Shep, where we spend the night.

Overnight in Gorak Shep.

• This is another important day of the trek. We'll wake before dawn today to trek towards Kala Patthar for a glorious sunrise over Mt. Everest. The walk will be quite demanding, yet it will reward you with the most amazing mountain panorama: Everest, Nuptse, Changtse, Lhotse, Pumori and numerous others.
• We will then return to Gorakshep and walk further to Pheriche.

Overnight at the guesthouse, with breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
