Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu City

After a thrilling flight experience through the Himalayas, observing magnificent views of snow-topped peaks, you land in this beautiful and culturally rich city of Kathmandu. Our representative holding the play card with ‘Explore Vacation’ written in it will welcome you. We will take you to your subscribed hotel where you can check-in and refresh. We will then have a briefing session of your trip later in the evening. Overnight stay at Hotel
Our journey to one of the iconic mountain trails in Everest Base Camp starts after we land in Lukla Airport through the steep mountain runway. A dramatic landing in this Airport after witnessing the breathtaking landscapes would probably be the most adventurous and adrenaline filled 40 minutes flight. After the landing, we start our trek from the village of Lukla (2850 m) and head up to Dudh Koshi valley on trail to Phakding with our full crew. You will only have a short hike today in order to assist in acclimatization. However, if you are interested you can have a side trip to a nearby monastery. Overnight stay at Lodge.
A true sense of trekking begins this day as you hike across nature’s finest creations along the Dudh Koshi River. Experience into a number of suspension bridges, one of which is the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge, gives you a different dimension of trekking. Today, you will catch the first stunning view of Mt. Thamserku (6618 m) after trekking through the local settlements of Chumoa, Benkar & Monjo. We lead to the local check post & to the entrance of Sagarmatha National Park.

Everest – also a main trading village in the Khumbu. Overnight Stay at Lodge
This is the first ‘Rest’ day of the entire trekking. The main purpose of this break is to acclimatize to the new altitude, before heading towards the higher altitude, towards Tengboche. It is recommended by the health experts to remain active during this day. Namche Bazar is an ideal place to spend a rest day because of an abundance of lodges, teashops, souvenir shops etc. In order to acclimatize, you can visit Khunde Hospital, which was set-up by Sir Edmund Hillary. You can take up a one-hour walk up to the Everest View Hotel as well. You can experience a gorgeous sunset view of various mountains, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest from here. Overnight Stay at Lodge.
This hike marks the beginning of an awesome experience of having some stunning views of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and a superb close of view of Thamserku. The hike is a composition of a few up and down hill sections. You are accompanied by gorgeous views of Himalayas throughout. If luck favors you, you might spot the elusive Himalayan Thar or the musk dear. The trail finally converges at Sansa, the major trail junction to Gokyo valley and Everest Base Camp. Through pine forests and the bridge over the Dudh Koshi River, garlanded by the myriad prayer flags, you finally reach Phunki Thenga – a small yet beautiful settlement with a couple of teahouses and a small army post amidst the alpine woods. Lunch will be served here. After lunch, we get ready for a mildly tougher afternoon with a hike through the pine forests before finally reaching Tengboche. Tengboche is the place to witness the grandeur of some of the majestic peaks of the world. It offers fantastic close up views of Mt Ama Dablam, Mt Nuptse, and Mt Everest. One of the biggest Buddhist Monasteries of the Khumbu region is hosted here. We visit to the monastery in the afternoon and indulge ourselves into the spiritual grandness. Overnight Stay at Lodge.

After sometime, we reach the cold and windy settlement of Dingboche. We stop this beautiful place, overlooked by Chortens and prayer flags finally for the night's rest. Overnight Stay at Lodge.
Surrounded by magnificent mountain views from all the sides, you continue your trail through Phulung Karpo. This is the campsite of the first successful Everest Expedition in 1953. The trail again leads us to amazing sights of Mt. Pumori, Mt. Cholatse and Mt. Thamserku. After the steep ascent, you pass slopes through Chupki Lhara, and reach a place filled with stone arrays with prayer flags – the memorials to Scott Fischer (American Mountaineer) and Babu Chiri Sherpa (Nepali mountain guide), who perished on a mission to climb Everest.

Mahalangur, Mt. Lingtern, Mt. Khumbutse, Mt. Pumori, etc. At this place, you would not want to miss the heavenly 360 degree view of snow-peaked mountains. All you have to do is take an optional and small ascent of Thangma Riju. The first glimpse of Kalapatthar, a grey-green hummock beneath Mt. Pumori can be seen after an ascension of Changri Glacier. After reaching Gorak Shep, we will be surrounded by mighty snow-capped peaks, that includes the top of the world – Mt. Everest. We continue to take the trail to Everest Base Camp after a brief lunch and rest. The camp is filled with bright colored tents of a number of expeditions. From this place, Nuptse, Khumbuste and Pumori are directly in front of you. By this time, we have actually completed our purpose of the trip to reach the camp. You can not actually see Mt. Everest from here. It is strongly recommended for you to take an optional visit to Kala Patthar to witness majestic sunset views. Words can not describe the view of the setting sun's rays strike the snow capped mountains. Note: For those opting for the hike to Kala Patthar, our Team leader will coordinate all arrangements for the amazing sunset view today rather than waiting until the next day. Overnight in Gorak Shep at a local lodge.
You do not want to miss the dramatic sunrise view from Kala Patthar to witness the very first rays from the rising sun shining on Mt. Everest today. The heavenly view of Everest revealing itself between the west shoulder crest and Nuptse is just indescribable. Familiar peaks - Lingtren, Khumbutse, Changtse tower to the east. You take short breaks for rest while ascending to Kala Patthar. You can contemplate on the nature’s beauty during these small recessions. Do not forget to click some of the most amazing photographs of your holiday here. The magnificent views of hovering Himalayan Panorama around you are a complete bliss for a climax of your truly wonderful adventure.

From here, you return back to Gorak Shep where the group will have the afternoon lunch and then descend down to Pheriche for a good night’s rest. Overnight at Lodge.

From Pangboche, we walk down through Imja Khola and through the forest to Debuche. Again, if you want to, you can visit nunnery of Debuche monastery, for some interesting insights in their way of culture, religion and life. During the full moon of November or December, the locals at Tengboche Monastery celebrate the Mani Rimdu Festival. So, if you are having your trip in this time, do not forget to witness and participate it. We stop for a relaxed lunch at Tengboche. After lunch, you trail down through some magnificent Rhododendron and Juniper trees. You further trail down through the Dudh Koshi River’s bridge and again through pine forests to Sansa. While passing through this area, you can site some of the high altitude wildlife, such as Blue Sheep, Thar, Snow Leopards, colorful pheasants etc. You further trail down to Chorten, before finally descending to Namche Bazar. This is the last place to have your sights on Everest and Tengboche. Make sure to take pictures. And finally, you reach back to your lodge, for a relaxing hot shower after a truly awe-inspiring trip. Overnight Stay at Lodge.
For the most part of the day, today, you will be descending downhill to Lukla, following Dudh Koshi River. The downhill views are completely different. As always, the views of simplistic lifestyles of Sherpa villagers and their impressive faith in Buddhism are simply stunning. This is the last evening in the mountains. Hence, this is the ideal opportunity to throw a farewell party with your crew. You can celebrate this final night in the mountains with some 'Chang' (local beer - a favorite drink on the mountains), do a jig to some Sherpa music and rejoice the amazing trip you just had. Overnight Stay at the Tea House.
