Take the day to finalize your gear, paperwork, and permits. Explore some of Kathmandu’s UNESCO World Heritage sites like Swayambhunath, Pashupatinath, and Boudhanath. Prepare mentally and physically for the expedition ahead.
Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, the starting point of the trek. Begin your trek through the Dudh Kosi Valley, crossing suspension bridges and trekking through villages to reach Phakding.
Today, you’ll hike up to the bustling town of Namche Bazaar, a key stop for trekkers and mountaineers. The trek is challenging but offers beautiful views of Everest, Lhotse, and other peaks along the way.
Spend the day in Namche Bazaar to adjust to the altitude. You can visit the local museum, hike to the Everest Viewpoint, or simply rest to prepare for the higher altitude treks ahead.
Leaving Namche, trek towards Tengboche. This day includes a gentle ascent through forested areas, with stunning views of Everest and Ama Dablam. Reach the famous Tengboche Monastery, known for its spiritual significance.
Continue trekking to Dingboche, a small Sherpa village. The trek is scenic, offering views of several peaks, including Lhotse and Makalu. Acclimatize and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Take a rest day in Dingboche to acclimatize. You can take short hikes to higher altitudes, such as Nangkartshang Peak, for stunning views of the surrounding peaks and the Imja Valley.
Trek towards Lobuche, following the path through alpine terrain. The trek provides spectacular views of Mount Pumori, Khumbu Glacier, and other neighboring peaks. The altitude will begin to affect your stamina, so take it slow.
Begin the final leg of the trek to Gorak Shep, then continue to Mount Pumori’s Base Camp. The Base Camp offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including Everest.
Over the course of these days, you will make summit attempts and set up camps at higher altitudes. The climb involves traversing the technical southeast ridge, including challenging ice slopes. Acclimatization, rest, and preparation will be key during this period.
After the summit attempt, trek back down to Gorak Shep. This descent allows your body to recover from the high-altitude stress.
Continue your descent through the Khumbu Valley, retracing your steps back towards Dingboche. Take your time to appreciate the beauty of the valley and surrounding peaks.
Trek further down to Namche Bazaar, where you can rest and relax after the challenging ascent. Enjoy the lively village atmosphere before heading back to Lukla.
Today, trek back to Lukla, where you can rest and prepare for the flight back to Kathmandu.
Catch a flight back to Kathmandu from Lukla. Once in Kathmandu, enjoy a relaxing day to recover from your journey. You may have time to explore more of the city or shop for souvenirs.
After a fulfilling expedition, the team will assist with your departure arrangements. You will be transferred to Tribhuvan International Airport for your flight back home.
