(Service includes: Airport pick+Hotel+ Breakfast)

Day 02: Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla and trek to Phakding.2660m.

After enjoying your b/fast at the hotel, we next head down to the domestic airport for your flight to Lukla. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla takes some 35 minutes and ends in an exciting landing on a unique mountain airstrip that runs uphill. Lukla, situated at an altitude of 2,850 m, is the gateway as well as the trailhead for all treks in the Everest region. After meeting the support crew, we head up the Dudh Koshi valley on a well-trodden trail to our first campsite near a river at Phakding.

(Service includes: Flight+ Guide+Porter+Breakfast+Lunch+ Dinner+ local lodge)

Day 03: Phakding to Namche Bazaar.3440m.
From Phakding, we cross and re-cross the river on high suspension bridges till we reach Monjo. Beyond Monjo lies the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park, which was established by the Government of Nepal in 1976 in order to protect and preserve the fragile mountain ecosystem. The park, spread over an area of 1,148 sq km, includes the upper catchments of the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers and is largely composed of rugged terrain, gorges, and giant hulks of rock and snow, including Mt. Everest (8,848 m), the tallest of them all. A steep hike from Monjo takes us to Namche. If the weather is clear, we get our first glimpse of Mt Everest. Namche is the main trading center in the Khumbu region and is a meeting place not only for the Nepali traders from the lowlands and the Tibetan traders who cross the glaciated Nangpa La in the north but also for trekkers and expedition members either going up to rendezvous with Mt. Everest and its minions or those on their return lap. We camp near Namche Bazaar.

(Service includes: Guide+Porter, +Breakfast+Lunch+Dinner+local lodge)

Day 04: Namche bazaar acclimatization day.

Namche has tucked away between two ridges amidst the giant peaks of the Khumbu and has an abundance of lodges, tea shops, and souvenir shops. It is an ideal place to spend a day, acclimatizing to the new altitude before heading off towards Thyangboche 3700m. To acclimatize, you visit Khunde Hospital set up by Sir Edmund Hillary, or take a 2-hour walk up to the Everest View Hotel (3,780m) from sea label, or over 300m above Namche for the sunset view of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Everest. There are also good views from the National Park Center and Museum just above the town of Namche.

(Service includes: Guide+Porter, +Breakfast+Lunch+Dinner+ lodge)

Day 05: Namche Bazaar to Tengboche.[3867m]

From Namche, the trail contours onto the side of the valley, high above the Dudh Koshi. We get our first really good views of the great peaks of the Khumbu including Mt Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. Passing by several villages and numerous tea shops, we descend steeply to a bridge over the river at Phunki Tenga. The village is an ideal stopover for lunch. Here we can rest before making the steep climb to Tengboche. Although the hike up the zigzag path is tiring, it presents us with many beautiful sights of rhododendron bushes with beautiful birds, and superb mountain scenery. Tengboche is famous for its legendary monastery, the largest in the Khumbu. We camp near the monastery. A spectacular panorama of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam rising on the horizon can be seen from the campsite.(Service includes: Guide+Porter, +Breakfast+Lunch+Dinner+ lodge)

Day 06: Tengboche to Dingboche 4410m.

Dingboche is a beautiful patchwork of well-cultivated lush green fields enclosed by stone walls protecting the crops of barley, buckwheat, and potatoes from the cold winds and grazing animals. Stay overnight at the best available lodge. (Service includes: Guide+Porter, +Breakfast+Lunch+Dinner+ lodge)

Day 07: Dingboche acclimatization day.

We will spend the day at Dingboche resting and exploring the surroundings of the area. We will get fantastic views of Mt. Amadablam (6856m) from here. If you want to view the best picture of the White Mountains then you can walk to the highland towards the north of the hill from where we can see the admirable views of Mt.Makalu 8485m, along with Mt.Lhotse. We will spend the whole day enjoying, relaxing, and acclimatizing ourselves so that we get used to the thin air as we go higher.(Service includes: Guide+Porter, +Breakfast+Lunch+Dinner+ lodge)

Day 08: Dingboche to Lobuche.

Beyond Dingboche, we trek up the steep difficult moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. We find our path through the boulder-strewn slope as we ascend Chupki Lhara, an uncanny ridge top with dramatic mountains views. An early start is necessary today, as we have to cross Thug La and make the 3hrs long descent to Lobuche. As we hike up the valley, we cross a ridge and an old lateral moraine, before beginning the rocky scramble to the pass. From the pass, there are excellent views, across to the famous Rolwaling Valley in the west and Ama Dablam to the south-east. The steps from the pass involve the crossing of a small glacier [often snow-covered] which is fairly straightforward. There are more excellent views of Ama Dablam and the forbidding north face of Cholatse as we descend to the pastures below. The way to Lobuche contours the grassy slopes above a lake, the Tshola Tsho, to join up with the main Everest trail from Pheriche and Tengboche. The trail flattens out and follows the valley on the west side of the Khumbu Glacier as we plod on to Lobuche for the night.(Service includes: Guide+Porter, +Breakfast+Lunch+Dinner+ lodge)

Day 09: Lobuche to Gorak Shep to Everest base camp 5,360 m.

For the trek to Everest Base Camp, a very early start is required. It takes 8-9 hours on a trail across the Khumbu Glacier which weaves its way along translucent ice pinnacles and past seemingly bottomless crevasses. At Base Camp, there will hopefully be an expedition residence’ and there are great views up into the Khumbu Icefall where there is often some climbing activity. On the return leg, we can take a higher route to get a spectacular view of the Khumbu icefall and the route to the south Col. We then return to Gorakshep for a night. We will spend approximately 9 and half hours trekking up to Everest Base Camp and back to Gorakshep. The trek is on a glacier and snow-capped rocks. We can also see many small frozen lakes around the Everest Base Camp area. We then return to Gorakshep for our stay overnight at a lodge. (Service includes: Guide+Porter, +Breakfast+Lunch+Dinner+ lodge)

Day 10: Gorakshep to Kalapatthar 5,545 m, and to Pheriche.

Today is the key day of our journey. We set out early at 4.30 am to Kalapathar from Gorakshep from where we can get fabulous views of sunlight piercing the cloud to reflect on the white snow. After a continuous ascent for 2 hours, we can peak at Kalapathar. We will have to return soon from Kalapathar as the cold gusty wind may affect us. We will return to our trail to Pheriche at 4280m. Kalapathar is simply awesome with sunrise/sunset over the huge shimmering Mountains. When we get to our lodge at Pheriche, we enjoy some hot tea & soup. (Service includes: Guide+Porter, +Breakfast+Lunch+Dinner+ lodge)

Day 11: Pheriche to Kyangjuma [3,500 m] to Namche.
we will trek down through hillocks blanketed by rhododendron and juniper trees. If it’s spring, pink and red rhododendron flowers set our surroundings ablaze. Depending on our hunger and condition, we either have our lunch in Tengboche or wait until we reach Phunki Tenga. We then follow the Dudh Koshi gorge descending rapidly through the pine forests. The path eventually reaches Sansa which is the major trail junction in the region. We stop at Kyangjuma (3,570 m/11,710 ft) for a relaxed & rest our weary bones. We unknowingly appreciate the gorgeous Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Nuptse with every bite. Following the trail to Namche Bazaar clings to the steep wooded slope beyond Kyangjuma, winding through several bends. We keep a lookout for wildlife such as mountain goats, snow leopards, colorful pheasants, etc. After passing a Chorten, we reach the army camp at Namche Bazaar. We want to take a long last look (and picture!) back to Lhotse, the tip of Everest and Tengboche from here. On reaching our lodge, we take a nice hot shower and have a very relaxed sleep in our room in Namche Bazaar.(Service includes: Guide+Porter, +Breakfast+Lunch+Dinner+ lodge)

Day 12: Namche to Lukla.

We continue our way downhill following some steep forest paths. We have enough time to take a rest and to shop for some of the lovely souvenirs hereabouts. We will continue our way to Monjo as it will be easier tomorrow to reach Lukla. The village of Monjo is situated at a height of 2840m and 3 hrs more trekking brings us to Lukla. the trekking route is about 7 hours long. – this is our last night on these lovely mountains that have been home to us all of these days…
