Trip Overview
Trekking to the Everest base camp is a journey that needs no more promotion. For those who have a lifelong ambition to visit it, the phrase "Everest" is self-explanatory. Yes, we are conscious that this journey is a favorite on the bucket lists of explorers all over the world because of Everest. But, you need to keep in mind that this journey is more than just Everest. With the paths filling full of natural heritages and cultural heritages, and the hospitable people around the region, the trekkers will surely get to experience more in this journey.
The Khumbu Valley is the first stop on this legendary trek to the base of the highest mountain in the world. The path will take you through the wonderful Sagarmatha National Park while tempting you with stunning vistas of four of the six tallest mountains in the world. They're - Mount Everest, Mount Lhotse, and Mount Makalu. Since this is a teahouse trip, you will spend most of the nights in the highest settlements of the Himalayas. So, it will definitely offer you a chance to learn about the Sherpas people and their way of life and local culture. Therefore, while delighting in their culture, you will also establish spiritual ties with the Mountains.
The trip to Everest Base Camp is unquestionably the most amazing experience. In particular, it features a moderate path that even an amateur can complete.

Right after you complete your entrance process and exit from the terminal, one of our representatives will be waiting for you with the board. There, your name and the name of our company will be mentioned. After you both encounter each other, he will greet you and lead you to the Private vehicle of our company. Then, onto the vehicle, we will transfer you to one of the cozy hotels in the town as per our deal. After you've been set at the hotel, you'll allow your jet-lagged body some time to relax. After an adequate period of rest, we'll bring you to our office. Here at the office, we will start our pre-trek briefing and go over every aspect of the journey. During this brief meeting, you may ask the presenter whatever you want to know regarding the trip without hesitation. He will give a thorough explanation of what you ask him. Soon after your trek briefing is over, you will prepare your clothes and packing list for the trip. It will be best for you to make all of the arrangements on this first day as your city sightseeing tour is scheduled for tomorrow. Later, we will leave for dinner after completing nearly all of the preparations for your journey. We're going to one of the local, authentic Nepali restaurants where there will be a live cultural dance. You may make friends with other trekkers and guides here. After the dinner program is done, we'll transport you back to the hotel for an overnight stay (Meals: Dinner)
Day 02: Kathmandu City tour and Trek preparation day (1,300m/4,264ft) Today, we have a fantastic tour planned in this town. The journey passes through several historical and cultural landmarks that have been designated as UNESCO world heritage sites. These cultural sites all have distinctive shrines and monuments from the middle ages or perhaps earlier. We'll spend as much time as we can exploring these historical places before dark. Our day's excursion will begin shortly after we unveil our experienced guide. Our tour today will focus primarily on visiting Swoyambhunath, Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. Note: Patan Durbar Square is an alternative to Kathmandu Durbar Square. We will return after spending the entire day exploring until the dark to see whether any more preparations for our Everest base camp trekking journey are necessary. After finally preparing and completing everything, you may relax at the hotel or tour the neighborhood with a guide. Overnight at the hotel in Kathmandu. (Meals: Breakfast only)
Day 03: Fly to Lukla and trek to Phakding (2,652m/ 8,700ft)35 minutes flight and 4 hours walk You will need to get up early today and get ready. Be prepared at approximately five in the morning, and then get to the hotel lobby. The moment everyone is prepared to go, our driver will arrive to pick you up shortly. He will take you directly to the domestic terminal of the Tribhuvan International Airport within some minutes. Here, you will have to stop for a bit as we have to organize your flight. As soon as the call comes in, you'll be off on the incredible 30-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. On this flight, we're very sure you'll be feeling something new, something that's both fascinating and frightful. You will eventually arrive at Lukla airport after experiencing the half-hour drama in the air. Shortly after arriving at Lukla Airport, you will give the bags to the porters. Then, you'll ascend for breakfast while taking in the picturesque views of the mountains and hills in the Lukla region. We will begin our Everest base camp trekking by moving towards Phakding after taking in the first breakfast in the Khumbu region. Today, you will be walking with other trekkers, locals, and yaks as you pass through a number of settlements. Along the way, you'll see beautiful decorations like chortens, prayer wheels, and prayer flags as they will ultimately lead you to Phakding. Instead of single-family homes, Phakding is primarily made up of lodges. Trekkers are given desirable and top-notch services at these lodges. Overnight at the lodge in Phakding. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Day 4: Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3,440m/11,283ft), (5-6 hours walk) We will start our second day of trekking toward Namche Bazaar right after breakfast. Soon, we will kick off our journey along the Dudh Koshi River's banks, crossing suspension bridges that are decorated with colorful prayer flags. For a few hours, we will pass across a number of bridges one after another. During these hours, we pass through the vivid pine and rhododendron woods that would finally lead us to Namche Bazaar. We are certain that you will enjoy the beauty of the nearby woodlands and the tranquil surroundings while you go to Namche Bazaar. If the weather is perfect and the skies are clear, you'll also get your first glimpse of Mount Everest halfway through the trek. Eventually, after a strenuous climb, you will reach Namche Bazaar. Here, you may chill at the lodge or explore the neighborhood's restaurants. One of the most stunning urban settings in the Himalayas may be seen at the Namche Bazaar. This town works as a refreshing point for trekkers. Overnight at the lodge in Namche Bazaar. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Day 5: Namche Bazaar – first acclimatization day Before attempting to go to a greater altitude, we need to stay in Namche for a day to adjust to the altitude. You will stroll around the region to get acquainted with the surroundings rather than staying at the lodge to relax. There are a lot of things you can choose to do on this day of acclimatization. but, we will spend our day exploring Shyangboche, Khunde, and Khumjung in order to effectively savor the day. You will get the chance to see the Khunde Hospital, which Sir Edmund Hillary built, the highest hotel in the world (Everest View Hotel), and the Khumjung Monastery, where you may see the Interesting Yeti Scalp (not scientifically proven). After finishing this amazing journey, you are going to come back to Namche Bazaar for an overnight stay. After reaching here, you can relax at the neighboring restaurants and cafés while you still have some time remaining. Aside from these excursions, it is quite OK to unwind for an entire day.

Day 06: Trek from Namche Bazaar to Tengboche (3,860m/12,664ft) 5 hours On this 6th day of Everest base camp trekking, we will leave Namche bazaar and follow the trail to Tengboche. As we move on, we will pass the Dudh Kosh River bridge and head towards the east side. From here onwards we will keep ascending and soon pass settlements and pine trees. You will need to descend to Phunki Tenga and pass the Imja Khola after a short continuing along the trail. After crossing the river, the trail again ascends, taking you through juniper and pine forests. You will finally arrive at the hilltop by continuing higher in the direction of Tengboche. You can take in the breathtaking views of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku from this spot. As you enjoy the scenery along the way, you will arrive in Tengboche shortly. Once you arrive in Tengboche, check in at the lodge and get ready for the exploration as the guide will take you towards Tengboche Monastery. Since it is one of the region's most significant cultural legacies of the region, learning more about it from the guide will definitely be interesting for you. After seeing this holy setting, you'll return to your lodge for the night. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Day 7: Trek from Tengboche to Dingboche (4,410m/14,468ft) After breakfast, we'll leave Tengboche and continue traveling through the rhododendron forest.

You will climb to a higher elevation as you come closer to Dingboche. Here you will be able to see the crops in the fields that are enclosed by stone walls. You also can see prayer flags, wheels, and yak herding communities as you walk the paths to Dingboche. Finally, our route takes us across the alpine highlands before crossing a second Imja Khola bridge and reaching the town of Dingboche.

After Relishing the sights, you will return to your lodge after soaking in the surrounding views of the Monastery. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Day 08: Dingboche - Second Acclimatization day This particular day actually happens to be the final acclimatization day of our Everest base camp trekking. Today, you will either climb to Chukkhung Valley or Nangkar Tsang Gompa after breakfast at your accommodation. For acclimatization, we believe the Chukkhung Valley is the best choice. If there is time, you can trek to the top of Chukkung-Ri for a breathtaking view of Mounts Amadablam, Baruntse, and Makalu. In alternative to it, Nangkar Tsang Gompa will also be a great choice. Awe-inspiring views of the majestic peaks, including Lobuche, Cholatse, Taboche, Thamserku, and Ama Dablam, are all up close to this location. You will return to Dingboche whenever one of these two journeys is finished. Overnight at the lodge in Dingboche. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Day 09: Trek from Dingboche to Lobuche -5 hours walk (4,910/16,108ft) As you climb to a much higher altitude starting today, the route will become a bit more difficult.

You'll quickly discover that you are getting close to the Khumbu Glacier as you move further, and you'll finally arrive at the top of the Thukla Hills. Here, the memorial stupa is set up in honor of the climbers who lost their lives in this region. As you go on, you are going to ascend through the trail junction that will lead you to Lobuche.

Day 10: Trek from Lobuche-Gorak Shep-Everest Base Camp (5,364m/17,598ft) and back to Gorak Shep (5,140m/16,863ft) 8-9 hour This is it, your final wait is over now. Our ultimate day of Everest base camp trekking starts with a relatively easier trek to Gorakshep from Lobuche. Gorakshep is a village situated at a staggering height of 5364 meters.

As you follow the route through the Khumbu glacier, we will make our way toward the Everest base camp. This glacier is 12 kilometers long and basically shaped like the moon. Passing through the ice structures and little water pools will be very much fun for you. Once you are closer to the Everest Base Camp, you start to observe the colorful flags at the base of the Khumbu icefall. Achieving the Everest base camp is fascinating and makes a trekker feel accomplished.
