Today we’ll officially begin our adventure to Everest with an early morning short flight to Lukla. The flight will offer us the breathtaking aerial views of the Himalayas. Once we land at the Lukla Airport, you’ll meet our trekking crew and porters and complete the permit formalities at Lukla checkpoint. Before starting our trek, we’ll also visit the golden statue of sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, a tribute to the first Everest summiteers.

From Lukla, we’ll descend through the Dudh Koshi Valley, and will pass through traditional Sherpa village like Thalsaroa, Cheplung, and Ghat. Moving forward, we’ll also cross the first suspension bridge and enjoy the stunning view of Mount Khumbila and Thamserku. Eventually we’ll reach Phakding, a peaceful riverside village filled with prayers flags all around it making it a perfect place to rest. We’ll stay here overnight and prepare for the journey ahead.

After a beautiful night at Phakding, now we’ll begin our trek following the Dudh Koshi River, passing through the forests of pine, fir, and rhododendron. On our way, we’ll also pass by the small villages like Benkar, Chhumuwa and Monjo. We’ll show our permit here in Manjo and enter the Sagarmatha National Park.

Before reaching the Namche Bazaar, we’ll cross some suspension bridges and also go through the iconic Tenzing-Hillary Bridge and will get the first glimpse of Mount Everest. Soon after a complete walk of at least seven hours, we’ll reach Namche Bazaar, the heart of the Khumbu region and a historic trading hub. We’ll stay here overnight and take a proper rest.

The day five of our journey will be fully dedicated toward rest. We must make sure we’re both physically and mentally fit for the upcoming challenges. We’ll spend rest of our day resting and also go on a short hike to the Sagarmatha National Park Visitor Center and learn about the culture, regional wildlife, and the natural history of the Everest region. From here, we’ll now ascend toward the Everest View Hotel, one of the highest hotels in the world from where we can experience the panoramic view of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Khumbila. We’ll also walk a bit further from Everest Hotel and go to visit the traditional villages of Khumjung and Kunde. We’ll visit the Hillary School, Hillary Hospital, and the Khumjung Monastery and pass by the Syangboche airstrip, one of the highest altitude runways in the world.

After exploring these locations, we’ll now return back to Namche Bazaar and spend rest of the day taking proper rest.

The day six of our journey will be an unforgettable moment as we’ll fly to Everest Base Camp. We’ll start our journey early in the morning with a helicopter flight from Namche Bazaar, enjoying the magical aerial view of Khumbu Glacier, Icefall and towering Himalayan peaks like Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. We’ll either land on the base camp or Kala Patthar, and enjoy the magical scenario. After spending sometimes and capturing some pictures, we’ll once again take a helicopter flight to Lukla. After reaching lukla, we’ll take a short domestic flight back to Kathmandu.

We have included an extra reserve day in our itinerary. We can use this day anywhere during the trek. The reserve day offers us the flexibility to adjust our schedule in case of unexpected delays due to the weather or slower trekking pace or even because of some minor health issues. In case, we completed our trek on time without using the extra day, then we can spend one more day at Kathmandu, enjoying its attraction spots like Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square.

After completing your remarkable and unforgettable Himalayan adventure, it’s time to say goodbye to Nepal, with memories that will last a lifetime and a hope to return again someday.

Today, we will bid you farewell and arrange your transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport. Please make sure your luggage is packed and that you haven’t left anything behind. We will ensure you reach the airport on time. And hope to have you here next year for another trek.
