Itinerary

1. Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu (1,400 meters /4,592ft)

   • With a panoramic view of the Himalayan ranges and the valley below, the flight into Kathmandu Valley is wonderful. Our representative will greet you at the Tribhuvan International Airport, drive you to your accommodation, and assist you with all of your essential travel needs. 
   • After you have checked in, you will have time to tour the city (depending on your arrival time).

2. Day 2: Fly to Lukla by helicopter and trek to Phakding (2,610 meters /8,561ft)

   • Board a helicopter from Tribhuvan International Airport and start your incredible Everest Base Camp adventure. 
   • As you hover over the mountains, glance down to see the Himalayan range's rugged peaks. It is a flight to remember, with breathtaking vistas of valleys, hilltop towns, and towering Himalayan peaks. 
   • Till you reach Lukla once you reach Lukla, you will be meeting with our representative at the airport, grabbing your belongings and hiking to Phakding through the bustling Lukla market. 
   • Phakding, a riverfront village, is accessible by crossing a metal suspension bridge. 
   • Later, walk around the village and down to the riverbank to admire the Dudh Koshi, a glacier river that cascades down the valley. 

   Later, return to the lodge and rest.

3. Day 3: Trek to Namche Bazaar (3,440m/11,284ft)

   • The trail passes through pine and rhododendron woodland, roaring glacier rivers, and metal suspension bridges. You will be crossing the iconic Hillary Bridge, the tallest suspension bridge in the Everest area. 
   • As you move upwards, you will be encircled on all sides by massive mountain peaks. High summit peaks stretch towards the sky as you arrive at Namche, a beautiful route with Mani stones, Buddhist monasteries, and vibrant prayer flags. The mountains spread out like a theatre.
   • You can get the first glimpse of Mount Everest (8,848m), Lhotse (8,516m), and other peaks. Namche, commonly known as the Sherpa capital, has a variety of high-end and low-cost mountain lodges. 

   After you get to your accommodation, rest your weary limbs.

4. Day 4: First Acclimatization Day at Namche Bazar (3,440m/11,284ft)

   • You will be spending your day acclimatizing at Namche. The village is the economic core of the Khumbu area, featuring cafés, bakeries, mountain lodges, shops, and internet cafes. 
   • Take a stroll around the marketplace, talk to some friendly locals and soak in the mountains. 
   • Visit the nearby Sherpa village Khumjung or trek to the famous Hotel Everest View of Khumjung, as an acclimatization excursion. 
   • Ama Dablam, Tawache, Khumbu Himal, Mount Everest, and many more peaks can be seen from the hotel's terrace or you may hike up to Khumbu school which was established by Sir Edmund Hillary the first school in the Khumbu area in Khumjung. 
   • A visit to the historic Khumjung Monastery, which houses a Yeti (abominable snowman) scalp, is also recommended. 
   • Hike back to Namche afterward where you will spend the night.

5. Day 5: Trek to Deboche (3,820m/12,530ft) via Tengboche (3,860m/12,661ft)

   • You will be hiking along one of the most exquisite sections of the trail today, cross an alpine meadow with pine trees and rhododendron blossoms on your way to Tengboche, and take a break now and then take in the spectacular mountain scenery. 
   • Tengboche is just under Ama Dablam, centred by the magnificent Tengboche Monastery, one of the Everest Region's oldest and most prominent Buddhist monasteries. 
   • Inside the monastery, old artifacts are displayed at the altar, and colourful Buddhist artwork covers the walls, observing the monks chanting the sacred texts. 
   • Later, walk down to Deboche, a monastic settlement where you will spend the night.

6. Day 6: Trek to Dingboche (4,410m/14,465ft) via Pangboche

   • Get up early in the morning to see the dawn over the mountains, and after a quick breakfast, ascend the route that leads upwards through the woods. From here, Ama Dablam's pyramid rises just overhead. 
   • Take a moment to take in this once-in-a-lifetime view. 
   • Along the way, you will pass through Pangboche, a Sherpa settlement, and as the tree line fades, you reach Dingboche, from where the landscape becomes bleak and rocky. Stone-fence farms bound Dingboche. 
   • Once you arrive at the village, rest at the teahouse where rooms have been reserved. Dingboche is where you will spend the night.

7. Day 7: Acclimatization at Dingboche (4,410m/14,465ft) - Hike to Nagarjun Hill (5,100m

   • You are over 4,000 meters in altitude and can feel the change in the air. The air is thinner, and moving significantly upward requires effort. 
   • Take an acclimatisation hike to the nearby hills to get your body into that comfort zone. 
   • Go to Chukkung Valley or Nangkartshang Peak; recommend your guide select for you since they will consider your physical condition before deciding on the hike's goal.
   • The non-technical trek to the Nangkartshang summit (5,083m) provides a spectacular vista of Makalu, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and many other peaks, while glaciers cascading down the mountainsides may be seen from Chukkung Valley.
   • You can also hike any of the smaller hills surrounding Dingboche to save energy for tomorrow's journey.

8. Day 8: Trek to Lobuche (4,910m/16,105ft)

   • Leave Dingboche early in the morning and pass through a deserted broad valley to get to Thukla—a view of Mount Pumori, Khumbila, Lingtren, and other nearby peaks up close to here. Stone monuments honouring mountaineers and trekkers who have died in these mountains may be seen near the summit of Thukla Pass. 
   • Lobuche, a little town with only a few teahouses, is reached after a challenging climb. 
   • If you are not too tired, you can explore the nearby region. A tiny slope provides spectacular views of the Khumbu Glacier. 

   Getting a good night's sleep would be best because you have a significant day tomorrow.

9. Day 9: Trek to Gorak Shep (5,140m/16,860ft) and Everest Base Camp (5,364 m/17,594ft)

   • Early in the morning, leave towards Gorak Shep. 
   • As the tree line disappears, you will hike in a bleak, stony desert. When treading on loose rocks and stones, take extra precautions with a cautious and steady walk along the Khumbu Glacier. The scenery is both harsh and gorgeous from here as you get to Gorak Shep and stop for lunch at a teahouse. 
   • After that, hike towards Everest Base Camp. The Khumbu Glacier is tracked to Everest Base Camp. 
   • A steep trail with rough rocks and gravel confronts you, and the path is littered with massive rocks at the foot of Mount Everest, just below the Khumbu Icefall, where Everest Base Camp is nestled.
   • If you travel during the climbing season, you will notice multicoloured tents propping up against the shabby terrain, where you will encounter climbers preparing to conquer the world's tallest peak. 
   • As you get to the base camp, you have accomplished your objective, and it feels incredible to be resting beneath some of the world's tallest peaks.

10. Day 10: Kala Patthar (5,550m/18,204ft) and board a helicopter from Gorak Shep - Lukla - Kathmandu (1,400m/4,592ft)

    • Early in the morning, hike to Kala Patthar. Kala Patthar offers a panoramic view of Himalayan peaks, including Mount Everest, and is one of the highest and most popular overlooks in the Everest Region. The scenery is exhilarating and, therefore, should not be missed. 
    • Watch incredible sights from here to Pumori, Nuptse, Changtse, and Mount Everest, some of the world's highest sights. This is one of those priceless sights that will stay with you for the rest of your life! 
    • Take some photos and return to Gorak Shep.
    • Board a helicopter and fly to Lukla from Gorak Shep. 
    • Once on board, take in aerial views of some of the world's most magnificent places above the snow-capped peaks and the Khumbu and Nzogumpa glaciers. 
    • Once you arrive at Lukla, express your gratitude to your support team and wish them farewell before proceeding to Kathmandu. 
    • As you fly out of Lukla, the majestic Khumbu mountains bid you farewell on this final stage of your journey.
    • As you come closer to the valley, the bird's eye view of Kathmandu Valley will be available to you before you arrive. 
    • You will be transported to your accommodation from the airport, checked in and relaxed, or explore Thamel. 

    Later in the evening, we will host a goodbye dinner to celebrate your success in the adventure.
