Kathmandu Valley - Our representative will pick you up from the airport in Kathmandu and take you to a convenient hotel in Thamel. Explore the area’s bustling shops and restaurants during the afternoon. Get ready for a memorable trip amidst the majestic Himalayas as you get to know your Everest Base Camp trek guide.

Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla (2,850 m/9,350 ft), 35 mins; Trek to Phakding (2,651 m/8,698 ft), 3-4 hrs

Phakding - The true thrill starts as we begin our journey to Everest Base Camp after a beautiful 40-minute flight to Lukla. Our fun and brief trip today will help us acclimatize. We’ll travel through Chaurikharka Village and arrive in Phakding. Spend some time seeing nearby monasteries like Rimishung Monastery as you prepare for the lengthier trip.

Trekking from Phakding to Namche (3,440 m/11,286 ft)

Namche Bazaar - This day will be difficult but rewarding. We start our walk after breakfast, passing Sherpa communities like Benkar and Chumoa. We arrive at Monjo, the Sagarmatha National Park’s entrance. Uphill and steep, the walk leads to Jorsalle village.

But the effort is worthwhile since you get to see amazing vistas of Thamserku, Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse. As you continue, you’ll arrive at the thriving Namche Bazaar encircled by astonishing mountains.

Acclimatization Day in Namche

Namche Bazaar - Today Namche Bazaar is crucial for acclimatization. We’ll walk to the famous Everest View Hotel for breathtaking 360-degree views of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Everest, Nuptse, and more. This aids in our bodies’ ascent-decline process. After that, we’ll return to the town and get ready to continue our thrilling journey.

Trekking from Namche to Tengboche (3,860 m/12,664 ft)

Tengboche - Enjoy a leisurely walk today with fewer steep sections—it’s ideal for photographers! Along the trip, be sure to take pictures of the Ama Dablam mountain, prayer flags, and stupas. We will arrive at the breathtakingly beautiful Tengboche Monastery.

Attend a service if you can, and consider giving a modest amount. Take advantage of the opportunity to light butter lamps, which will enhance your spiritual journey.

Trekking from Tengboche to Dingboche (4,360 m/14,304 ft), 4-5 hrs

Dingboche - Before leaving for Dingboche, the day begins with breakfast. We will pass through picturesque settlements like Pangboche with views of Mt. Ama Dablam, chortens, and mani walls.

As we go up, we’ll pass by fields where villagers produce potatoes, buckwheat, and barley that are enclosed by stone walls.

Acclimatization Day in Dingboche

Dingboche - In Dingboche, today is crucially important for rest and acclimatization. Even though we take it easy, we stay active with a quick walk to Nagarjun Hill (5,100 metres). We are rewarded for our tough climb with stunning vistas of Ama Dablam, Lobuche, Lhotse, and other mountains.

We’ll have a break at the summit, then make our way down to Dingboche to relax. If you’re up for it, do another quick tour around the village. It’s important to acclimatize so that you’re prepared for the remainder of the climb.

Trekking from Dingboche to Lobuche (4,900 m/16,076 ft)

Lobuche - The journey to Pheriche Valley begins with a gradual ascent through alpine brush and yak pastures. Enjoy breathtaking views of Ama Dablam, Tawoch, and Cholotse towering from the valley floor. The trail ascends to Thokla Pass, providing a difficult but worthwhile climb with expansive views of Nuptse, Lhotse, and other magnificent peaks.

We finally arrive in Lobuche, which is surrounded by stunning countryside. The natural surroundings are appealing for hikers and photographers alike, despite the unattractiveness of the settlement.

Trekking from Lobuche to EBC (5,364 m/17,598 ft); Trek back to Gorak Shep (5,160m/16,929 ft)

Gorakshep - This day is remarkable because we arrive at Everest Base Camp. We trek to Gorak Shep Village, which is encircled by snow-capped mountains along the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. Then we walk to Base Camp, which is closest to the tallest mountain in the world, after leaving our possessions there.

Enjoy the breathtaking scenery, capture it on camera, and consider your accomplishments. After that, we return to Gorak Shep while taking in views of the Khumbu Glacier, which is the tallest glacier on Earth.

Morning hike to Kala Patthar (5,550 m/18,209 ft), Descend to Pheriche (4,250 m/13,944 ft)

Pheriche - On this day, we set out before dawn for a strenuous walk to Kala Patthar, the trek’s highest point (5,545 meters). Experience a stunning 360-degree panorama that includes Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and more.

After seeing the sunrise, we head back to Gorak Shep for breakfast before making our way through Lobuche and the Thukla Pass to Pheriche. A little town called Pheriche has hotels, teahouses, yak pastures, and the Himalayan Rescue Association Clinic, which offers crucial services to local trekkers and mountaineers

Trekking from Pheriche to Namche Bazaar(3,440 m/11,286 ft)

Namche Bazaar - As we move closer to Namche, today’s trail declines with some uphill stretches. The restoration of the forests and flora revitalizes the scenery. It’s a long and difficult day of walking, especially following the difficult trek to Kala Patthar the day before.

Trekking from Namche to Lukla (2,850 m/9,350 ft)

Lukla - The trek’s end is drawing near. This is the last day of hiking as we follow the same path back to Lukla. Once we’ve arrived in Lukla, relax and have a nice night’s sleep. Consider the amazing adventure we’ve just finished, one that was packed with stunning vistas and life-changing encounters

Fly from Lukla to Kathmandu (1,350 m/4,429 ft)

Kathmandu - It’s time to say goodbye to the Khumbu Region and Mount Everest. Depending on flight availability and the weather, we either take a flight to Kathmandu or Manthali Airport to return.

We have time to shop once we get to Kathmandu before our evening farewell supper. Now is the perfect moment to reflect on the amazing journey to Everest Base Camp and the priceless experiences created en route.

Final Departure

Kathmandu Valley - Three hours before your scheduled departure, a staff member will take you to the airport. It’s time to say goodbye to Nepal, bringing fond memories of the amazing Everest Base Camp Trek and the artistic treasures of Kathmandu with you.
