Arrival in Kathmandu, Lukla Flight and Everest View Trek
Day 01: Arrival in Kathmandu
Your journey begins as you arrive in Kathmandu, where you'll be welcomed and transferred to your hotel. This day gives you the chance to rest after your flight and explore the vibrant atmosphere of Thamel or nearby attractions. A short trek briefing will prepare you for the days ahead.
Day 02: Fly to Lukla and Trek to Phakding
An early morning scenic flight takes you to Lukla, the gateway to Everest. From here, your trek begins as you walk through charming Sherpa villages, cross hanging bridges over the Dudh Koshi River, and enjoy the first glimpse of Himalayan landscapes before reaching Phakding.
Day 03: Trek to Namche Bazaar
Today, you'll hike through lush pine forests and cross several suspension bridges, including the famous Hillary Bridge. As you enter Sagarmatha National Park and ascend the final steep trail, the first view of Mt. Everest (weather permitting) appears. You'll arrive at Namche Bazaar, a lively Sherpa town with shops, bakeries, and mountain charm.
Day 04: Acclimatization Hike to Everest View Hotel
To help your body adjust to the altitude, you'll take a short hike to the Everest View Hotel. From this viewpoint, enjoy spectacular panoramas of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and other peaks. Optionally, you can explore Khumjung village, visit the Hillary School, or the local monastery. Return to Namche for a relaxed evening.
Day 05: Trek Back to Lukla
Retrace your steps down the trail, passing through the familiar villages of Monjo and Phakding.
