Today is all about arriving in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Meet your team and get settled into your hotel.

Arrival in Kathmandu

Today is your free day in the historical city of Kathmandu—we encourage you to explore it! You and your team will also obtain climbing permits. Have dinner together with your team, get to know each other, and have a briefing.

Kathmandu

The trek begins by flying into Lukla. This is a 35-minute flight serving you scenic views from the air. Once you arrive here, it’s all trekking going forward. The trail will take you through mountain villages, suspension bridges, and forests all the way to Phakding, where you’ll stay overnight.

Lukla — Phakding

After a hearty breakfast, start your trek to Namche Bazaar. You can expect similar scenery from yesterday, passing through verdant mountains, suspension bridges, and over rivers. Get to Namche, a historic trading center of the Khumbu region, and spend the rest of the day here.

Trek to Namche Bazaar

This is your rest and acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar. Often called the “Gateway to Everest”, this small town has everything from Tibetan artifacts to delicious food and trekking equipment. Apart from exploring the unique town, this day also serves to let your bodies acclimatize to higher altitudes.

Acclimatization in Namche

Continue walking through the Himalayan wilderness. On the trek to Tengboche, you’ll see incredible views of Lhotse and Everest. Once you reach Tengboche, a small alpine valley, settle in as you’ll be spending one extra day here.

Hike to Tengboche

Here you’ll find one of the most famous monasteries in Nepal—a large Tibetan Buddhist center in the Khumbu area. A visit to the monastery will deepen your knowledge and understanding of the Sherpas. You can also enjoy the daily morning and evening praying ceremony.

Acclimatization in Tengboche

Today’s trek takes you to Pheriche, a charming village dwarfed by towering peaks surrounding it. This is an important acclimatization stopover, so you’ll spend day 9 here as well.

Trek to Pheriche

Before continuing onto the Lobuche Base Camp, take an extra day in Pheriche to acclimatize and rest.

Acclimatization in Pheriche

After a good rest in Pheriche, continue onto Lobuche Base Camp. Lobuche is a small Himalayan village with only a few teahouses.

Arrive at Lobuche Base Camp

Departing from Lobuche Base Camp, move forward along the Lobuche Glacier and enjoy the stellar views surrounding you. You will reach the Lobuche High Camp, cache your gear there, and descend back to base camp for the “climb high, sleep low” approach. You will also have a climbing skills clinic. Tomorrow, you’ll get back to High Camp.

Hike to Lobuche High Camp & Skills Clinic

Today, you’re moving to Lobuche High Camp, gaining another 2,000 ft. The climb is moderately steep and well marked, with few difficulties other than carrying a pack at altitude. Once there, get some rest. Tomorrow, you’ll take a rest day before pushing for the summit.

Move to Lobuche High Camp

Acclimatize with a foray out of high camp on the lower slopes of the summit ascent route to familiarize yourself and brush up your skills. As the sun goes down, head to bed early in preparation for summit day.

Acclimatization at Lobuche High Camp

Wake up early for an alpine start and move towards Lobuche East. After working your way to nearly 20,000 ft on the ridge, you’ll be standing on top of the dramatic peak of Lobuche East, a shoulder peak of Lobuche. You’ll be surrounded by spectacular views of the Everest Massif and the Khumbu Valley. Descend all the way to Lobuche Base Camp for your final night in that camp.

Summit Lobuche

Today’s the day—you’ll finally reach the Everest Base Camp! Unlike many other tours, once you reach Base Camp, you won’t have to go back to the valley. You’ll get to stay in the actual Base Camp itself and get to know the climbing community. Explore the camp and the surrounding areas, marveling at the mighty peaks around you.

Reach Everest Base Camp

Today, you can explore the camp, and you have the option to partake in a beginner-friendly ice climbing clinic on the Khumbu Glacier below the famed icefall. Before heading down the valley, you have one final night at Base Camp Proper.

Explore Base Camp

Prior to going down the mountains, follow the trail to Kala Patthar. This is a stellar lookout point with soaring views over Everest and the Khumbu Icefall. Continue towards Pheriche.

Climb Kala Patthar and descend to Pheriche

Descend back to Namche Bazaar. If you’ve had your eye on some Tibetan artifacts, this is a great chance to collect some souvenirs.

Trek to Namche

The final step of your Everest Base Camp trek is returning back to Lukla. Explore this tiny Himalayan settlement and the surrounding area.

Trek to Lukla

Departing from Lukla, a plane will take you back to Kathmandu. Settle into your hotel for the night and get a good night’s sleep.

Fly to Kathmandu

Have breakfast and pack up—it’s time to leave this wondrous country. If you’d like to stay longer, simply ask your guides for some recommendations, or they can even help you with extra hotel arrangements!

Depature

Unused Contingency Days at the end of your program: CTSS covers one night in the hotel in Kathmandu on your return. If you decide to stay longer in Kathmandu beyond this night, those costs are your responsibility. We highly recommend that while you should plan to be away from home for the entire duration of the expedition including contingencies days, you book a flexible return airfare so you can move your flight forward if you don’t use all of the contingency days or push it back as you need.
