Day 1 Arrival in Kathmandu and transfer to the hotel (1400 meters)

Welcome to the Himalayas !!!

Our office representative will be waiting for you with a warm welcome, holding a company plate that will help you easily recognise him. Your trip to Nepal and every travel necessity is our responsibility now.

Firstly, we will transfer you to your respective hotel and help you check in. You can freshen up and take a rest or rather take a short walk around the Thamel area to have a quick insight into evening life over there and experience being in a different world. Our guide will give you a briefing about our trek and routes. Overnight at a hotel, with breakfast included.

Day 2 Fly to Lukla and Trek to Phakding (2652 meters) - 3-4 hrs trek.

Our guide picks you up from the hotel for 30-35 minutes of an early morning flight to Lukla. The flight to Lukla itself is a great adventure with an aerial view of the vast landscape with lush valleys and hills, a view of the Himalayan range, and winding rivers and valleys. We meet the rest of the team (i.e porters) and begin the short trek to Phakding. Watching the local settlements and spinning prayer wheels, we descend to Chheplung village past mani walls. Crossing several suspension bridges, we today walk through dense forest that is home to diverse flora and fauna. Overnight at a local guest house.

Day 3 Trek to Namche Bazaar - (3,440 meters) 6 hrs trek

The trail today goes upstream along the riverbank to the junction of the Bhote Koshi River and the Dudh Koshi River. We will have to cross a Hillary Bridge. Then we will ascend to Namche Bazaar. On the way, it offers incredible photographic opportunities as the peaks of Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8511m), Nuptse (7879m), Ama Dablam (6856m) and Taweche (6542m) come into view for the first time of the trip. Overnight at the local Guesthouse.

Day 4 Acclimatisation day at Namche Bazaar

We rest this day at Namche Bazaar to acclimatise to the new altitude, which is an ideal place to spend a rest day before heading off towards a higher elevation. Instead of resting in your lodge, it is recommended that you stay active and mobile during the acclimatisation day. A few hundred feet of vertical trekking during the day will help you properly acclimatise. Or rather, you can spend the day exploring Namche Bazaar. The place is the centre of the Everest region and has plenty of lodges, tea shops, souvenir shops, ATMs, money exchangers, Internet cafes, government offices, restaurants, bakeries, etc. You can visit the Visitor Centre near the headquarters of the Sagarmatha National Park, where you can observe an assortment of things allied to the first Everest ascenders, Sherpa culture and learn about the various flora and fauna of the Sagarmatha National Park. Surrounded by the snowy peaks of Kongde and Thamserku and the sacred peak Khumbila, Khumjung hosts a well-known monastery that houses a yeti scalp. You can also visit Hillary School at Khumjung. Overnight at a local guest house.

Meals include: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 5 Trek to Tengboche - (3,860 meters) 5 hrs trek

After breakfast, we will leave for Tengboche. The trail goes up and down, offering us splendid views of snowy caps like Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, and Mt. Ama Dablam. The trekking today is moderate and not difficult. The views will just keep getting better as we move ahead. You can encounter animals, visit some monasteries and go through some beautiful villages on the way to Tengboche. There is a possible view of wildlife, including musk deer, a herd of Himalayan Thar, and colourful pheasants. Going through the forest and river, we will reach Tengboche. We then stay overnight at a guest house.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 6 Trek to Dingboche - (4,410 meters) 5 hrs trek

Today is a more relaxed day with a relatively easy trek to Dingboche - except for the last part where we have to climb a steep hill, which acts as a reminder that trekking at higher altitudes is more physically draining. We will initially pass through the villages of Somare (4010m) and Orsho. Further along the trail, we meet a fork and take the left trail that heads to Pheriche Village, then cross a bridge before that steep climb to Dingboche Village (4410,m) which has several suitable lodges.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 7 Acclimatisation day

Again, we take a day to better acclimatise and will stay active by trekking up the valley to Chhukung (4730m) and then to Island Peak (Imja Tse). Another option is to take a short trek of about two to three hours to Nangkartshang Gompa. The trail heading to Chhukung leads to Bibr (4570m), which is circled by mountains and offers spectacular views of Taboche, Lhotse the world's 4th highest) and Nuptse. The final option today is to climb up to Chukhung Ri (5550m), from where you can see Mt. Makalu (8485m), the world's 5th highest mountain.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 8 Trek to Lobuche - (4,910 meters) 5 hrs trek

We continue to ascend to Chupki Lhara, which has an array of stones with prayer flags placed as a memorial to climbers Scott Fischer (American) and ten-time Everest summiteer Babu Chiri Sherpa (Nepalese guide), who died while attempting a climb of Everest. As we head to the Khumbu Glacier moraine, a number of huge peaks stare right at us: Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori, and Mahalangur Himal. This scene will leave you spellbound! We will stay in a lodge tonight.

You will now follow your footsteps back to Lukla with spectacular views of Amadablam. We continue through the hillside blanketed by rhododendrons and juniper trees and keep a lookout for wildlife such as colourful pheasants, mountain goats, snow leopards, etc. The distance of the mountains makes you feel like watching all the time. Stay overnight at Namche Bazaar. Meals include: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.r

Day 12 Trek to Lukla - (2800 meters) - 7 hrs trek

As we are trekking back, our path goes steeply downhill. The more we trek downwards the more we feel easier to breathe as the air gets denser. You will be continuing the trail, taking it after the Sherpa village and following the Tenzing and Hillary suspension bridge. The trail is full of picturesque views of the landscape and some mountain scenery. Following the banks of the Dudh Koshi River and crossing back many suspension bridges, we pass through forests and small villages.
