Drive from Kathmandu to Kharikhola (2,257 m/ 7,404 ft) by 4WD – 12 to 13 hrs

Kharikhola - We will pick you up early in the morning and start the drive to Kharikhola in a 4WD. It will take us 12/13 hours depending upon the traffic and the road condition. The road until Salleri is paved in concrete. This section of the drive lasts for about 8 to 9 hours. From Salleri to Kharikhola, the 4WD goes through dirt road. The ride is bumpy. It lasts for about 3 to 4 hours. This particular section from Salleri to Jubing gets affected by the monsoon, so vehicles can use this part only in dry seasons. On our long drive through the Himalayan foothills, we will be greeted with splendid views.

This route traces the journey of the first explorers and trekkers in the Everest region, without any internal flights involved. The 4WD journey helps eliminate possible delay due to adverse weather conditions and the slow, steady progression over several days facilitates acclimatization.

Trekking alongside the Dudh Koshi river, through the Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar and Tengboche Monastery, combined with an awe-inspiring panorama of the Himalayan range up to the Everest Base Camp, is an unparalleled experience.
