Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, our team will greet you and transfer you to your hotel. Later in the day, meet your trekking guide and fellow trekkers for a trip briefing, followed by a welcome dinner.

After a hearty breakfast in Kathmandu, we set off on a scenic drive to Ramechhap via the B.P. Highway. The route offers picturesque views of rolling hills, traditional villages, and terraced farmlands. Ramechhap is a peaceful and less-crowded town that serves as our overnight stop before the early morning flight to Lukla. This drive also allows us to experience the local way of life in the hilly region of Nepal.

An exciting day begins with an early morning flight from Ramechhap to Lukla, landing at one of the most thrilling and scenic airstrips in the world. After meeting our trekking crew in Lukla, we begin our trek through charming Sherpa villages, crossing suspension bridges and walking alongside the glacial waters of the Dudh Koshi River. Our destination for the night is Phakding, a beautiful riverside village nestled in the Khumbu region.

Today’s trek takes us deeper into the Khumbu region as we follow the Dudh Koshi River through lush pine forests and traditional Sherpa villages. We’ll cross several iconic suspension bridges, including the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge. After entering the Sagarmatha National Park at Monjo, we begin a steady ascent through dense forests and winding trails. As we approach Namche Bazaar, the largest Sherpa town in the Everest region, we’ll get our first glimpse of Mt. Everest on a clear day.

Today is a crucial acclimatization day to allow your body to adjust to the higher altitude. Rather than staying idle, we take a short hike up to Syangboche, where we’re rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Everest (8,848.86m), Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and other towering peaks. Along the way, we may visit the Everest View Hotel, one of the highest-altitude hotels in the world. After soaking in the views, we return to Namche Bazaar to explore its shops, bakeries, and local culture.

Leaving Namche Bazaar behind, we follow a scenic trail that winds along the mountainside, offering panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The trail descends to the Dudh Koshi River before climbing through lush rhododendron and pine forests. Our destination is Tengboche, a spiritual and cultural hub of the Khumbu region. Here, we’ll visit the famous Tengboche Monastery, the largest in the area, set against a stunning Himalayan backdrop.

We begin the day descending through rhododendron forests and peaceful alpine terrain. After crossing the Imja Khola (river) via a suspension bridge, the trail climbs steadily past mani walls and chortens. As we ascend, the landscape becomes more rugged and open, with spectacular views of Ama Dablam, Island Peak, and Lhotse. By afternoon, we arrive in the picturesque village of Dingboche, a high-altitude settlement surrounded by soaring Himalayan peaks and vast yak pastures.

To help our bodies adapt to the increasing altitude, we spend another acclimatization day with a hike to the small settlement of Chhukung. The trail offers panoramic views of the Imja Valley and towering peaks like Island Peak, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. This light trek improves our chances of a successful and safe journey to Everest Base Camp by aiding acclimatization. After enjoying the serene surroundings of Chhukung, we return to Dingboche for the night.

Today’s journey takes us further into the high alpine landscape. We trek through windswept meadows and along the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. Along the way, we pass by Thukla Pass, where heartfelt memorials honor climbers who lost their lives on Everest. As we continue, the terrain becomes more rugged, eventually leading us to Lobuche — a small settlement tucked beneath the towering peaks of Nuptse and Lobuche East.

Today marks one of the most memorable highlights of the trek. After an early start from Lobuche, we hike along the rugged path beside the Khumbu Glacier, passing through rocky terrain and glacial moraines to reach Gorakshep — the last settlement before Everest Base Camp. From here, we continue our ascent to Everest Base Camp (5,364m), standing at the foot of the world’s highest peak. After soaking in the awe-inspiring views and capturing unforgettable photos, we return to Gorakshep for the night.

We begin early today with a pre-dawn hike to Kala Patthar, the highest point of the trek. From the summit, we’re rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic sunrise over Mount Everest, Nuptse, Changtse, and surrounding Himalayan giants — a truly unforgettable moment. After spending time soaking in the views and capturing photos, we descend back to Gorakshep for breakfast and continue trekking downhill through glacial valleys to reach the village of Pheriche.

Today, we begin our descent retracing the trail through stunning landscapes of the Everest region. The trek takes us through peaceful alpine meadows, past yak herders’ fields, and along gentle ridges as we make our way toward Kenjuma, a quiet village near Namche Bazaar. The gradual descent helps your body adjust while allowing you to appreciate the breathtaking mountain scenery one last time before reaching lower altitudes.

Today’s trek continues descending through the beautiful landscapes of the Everest region. Passing back through Namche Bazaar, we exit Sagarmatha National Park as we make our way toward the village of Monjo. Along the trail, enjoy views of terraced fields, traditional Sherpa homes, and friendly local communities. Monjo is a peaceful stopover before the final stretch to Lukla.

After an early morning flight from Lukla to Ramechhap, we embark on a scenic drive back to Kathmandu via the B.P. Highway. This marks the end of the trekking adventure, giving you time to relax and reflect on your incredible journey. Spend the evening unwinding in Kathmandu with comfortable accommodation in a 3-star hotel and enjoy the city’s vibrant atmosphere.

After a restful night, enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel before our team transfers you to Tribhuvan International Airport. As you board your flight home or onward destination, take with you unforgettable memories of the majestic Himalayas and the incredible adventure you’ve just completed. Safe travels and we hope to see you again soon!
