Everest Base Camp Trekking

After arriving in Kathmandu, a delegate from Everest Trekking Routes will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel. In the afternoon, you may take a rest or visit the Everest Trekking Routes office. In the evening there will be a welcome dinner given by Everest Trekking Routes where you will be served Nepalese food which will introduce you to the country’s food culture.

We were transferred to the domestic terminal of Kathmandu Domestic Airport this morning to catch our scheduled morning flight to Lukla. After 30 30-minute long adventurous flight above the breathtaking scenario of the Himalayas, we land at the Tenzing-Hillary Airport at Lukla. Lukla is going to be the starting point of our trek. We meet our porters and other crew members and start trekking towards Phadking, which takes around three hours. We stay overnight at a local guesthouse.

We walked through the beautiful forest of pine today. Our walk leads us along the Dudhkoshi River bank through many suspension bridges. We will be crossing Hillary Suspension Bridge which is one of the famous suspension bridges in that region. We will have enough opportunity to witness the wonderful views of Mount Thamserku (6618m) during the walk. Passing through the settlements of Benkar and Monjo, we eventually arrive at the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park. We still have the last village of Jorsale before reaching Namche. Following the trail ascending through the forests and bridges and overlooking the beautiful views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse, we continue our journey towards Namche. Namche is the gateway to Mount Everest and is also the main trading center of the region. We check into the guesthouse and stay there overnight.

Today is going to be a rest day at Namche. But, as our Health Experts suggest, we need to stay active and moving during the rest days instead of being idle. Hence, we either take a day hike to Thame or visit Khunde for proper acclimatization. We can even stay at Namche and explore the Bazaar itself. You can visit the Tourist Visitor Center near the Headquarters of Sagarmatha National Park where you can observe an assortment of things that are related to the First Everest Climbers and Sherpa Culture. We stay overnight at a guesthouse.

We continue trekking along the rushing glacial waters of Dudh Koshi, which eventually brings us to Phortse. You can visit the local monastery and Sherpa village can also get the opportunity to observe the prayer ceremony either in the morning or evening. We stay overnight at a guesthouse.

From Phortse, we drop to Debuche and then cross another exciting suspension bridge on ImjaKhola. We climb to Pangboche among thousands of Mani stones. Trekking further for about a couple of hours, we reach Dingboche. We stay overnight at a guesthouse.

We will spend another day of acclimatization at Dingboche. We make a short hike to Chhukung through ImjaKhola valley to remain active today. From ImjaKhola, you can witness the splendid views of the surrounding mountains, especially Lhotse. We then return to Dingboche by the evening and stay overnight at a guesthouse.

We continue walking along the lateral moraine of Khumbu Glacier today and the pass by the stone memorials for the climbers who have perished during the expedition in summits nearby. And we continue to climb Lobuche. We stay overnight at a guesthouse.

Today is going to be another big and difficult day trek along the Khumbu Glacier and up to the Everest Base Camp. You can get the closest view of Mount Everest from Khumbu Glacier and EBC. After spending little time at EBC, we track back to Gorakshep, where we stay overnight.

This day is going to be one of the most difficult yet rewarding treks. We make an early start to reach the best viewpoint of Kalapatthar. You can get the amazing mountain panorama from this viewpoint. After enjoying the amazing views from Kalapatthar, we return to Pheriche. We stay overnight at a guesthouse.

From Pheriche, we take a slightly different route down to Orsho today. We reach Pangboche where you can explore the oldest monastery in the region. The monastery is said to contain the scalp and bones of the abominable snowman Yeti. We leave Tyangboche Monastery and finally arrive at Namche. We stay overnight at a guesthouse.

From Namche, we return to Lukla. With this, we mark the end of our trekking. We stay overnight at the guesthouse.

We get the scheduled morning flight to Kathmandu from Lukla. The flight is going to be very scenic and adventurous. On arriving in Kathmandu, you can take your time to go for your last-minute shopping or you can choose to explore the city even more. We stay overnight at a hotel.

Final Departure, you take the returning flight to your hometown. Our representatives will assist you to reach the airport. You return to your home with an unforgettable travel experience in Nepal.
