Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, you’ll be greeted by a representative and escorted to your hotel. After the check-in process, take some time to rest or explore the vibrant streets of Kathmandu. In the evening, attend a briefing about the upcoming expedition.
This day is dedicated to finalizing preparations for your expedition. While the team handles permits and gear checks, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Kathmandu’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the iconic Boudhanath Stupa and the historic Swayambhunath Temple.
Enjoy a scenic flight to Lukla, known as the gateway to the Everest region. Begin your trek with a gentle hike through forests and small villages, arriving at Phakding by the afternoon. Relax and prepare for the next day’s journey.
Cross suspension bridges and trek along the Dudh Koshi River, ascending through pine forests. Reach Namche Bazaar, a bustling Sherpa town, where you’ll stay overnight.
Take a rest day to acclimatize. Explore Namche Bazaar, visit local museums, or hike to nearby viewpoints for stunning view of Everest and Ama Dablam.

A relatively short trek takes you to Pangboche, a traditional Sherpa village offering close-up views of Ama Dablam.
Leave the main trail and head toward Ama Dablam Base Camp. The hike includes gradual ascents with spectacular views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.

Reviews
Excellent Expedition Logistics
Expedition Himalaya is the company my regular US-based expedition operator has been working with for years. Over the last 10 years, Nabin and his team have also organized several mountaineering expeditions for me personally, including ones to Ganchenpo, Cholatse and Pumori. I have been happy with his and his team's work every time.
I have found Expedition Himalaya to be professional and well-connected in the industry. They have excellent staff across the board, and can make things (like sending helicopters, arranging PCR tests or booking accommodation) happen quickly, efficiently and at a reasonable price.
I highly recommend Expedition Himalaya as a reliable expedition outfitter and expedition logistics partner in Nepal, and look forward to working with them in the future.
