After your arrival in Kathmandu, you'll take a short but scenic flight to Lukla, a small mountain town perched at an altitude of 2,860 meters (9,383 feet). The 35-minute flight offers stunning views of the Himalayas and marks the beginning of your trekking adventure. Upon landing in Lukla, you will begin your trek towards Phakding, which is located at an elevation of 2,610 meters (8,563 feet). The trek to Phakding is relatively easy and offers a chance to acclimatize while walking through lush forests and quaint Sherpa villages. The trail crosses several suspension bridges and follows the Dudh Koshi River, providing a peaceful yet scenic experience as you settle in for your first night in the mountains.

Activities : Trekking

On this day, you’ll trek from Phakding to Namche Bazar, the vibrant gateway to the Everest region. The trek takes you through pine forests, along the Dudh Koshi River, and across several suspension bridges, including the famous Hillary Bridge. As you gain altitude, the trail becomes more challenging, but the stunning views of the surrounding peaks, including Thamserku, are truly rewarding. After a steady ascent, you’ll reach Namche Bazar at an elevation of 3,440 meters (11,286 feet). This bustling Sherpa town is a key stop for trekkers and climbers, offering a range of services, shops, restaurants, and accommodations. Namche Bazar is also a great place to acclimatize before continuing your journey to higher altitudes.

Activities : Trekking

Namche Bazaar is regarded as gateway to the high Himalayas. It is also the main trading center and a capital of Sherpa land. Rest is recommended in Namche for acclimatization purpose. Short hike will be arranged to the ancient Sherpa village of Thame to observe the rich Sherpa culture. We can also visit nearby Khumjung, Khunde or Khongde villages. Shopping in marketplace of Namche is another fine idea. National Park Head office, Museum and monasteries are other places of interest. The area is clustered with cafes, shops, bakeries and restaurants. The place supports facilities of post office, hospital, government health post. Internet access is also available at Namche so that you can contact your near ones.

Activities : Trekking

The trek from Namche Bazar to Deboche takes you through beautiful forests and along the scenic trail with views of Mount Everest and other surrounding peaks. As you leave Namche Bazar, the trail descends to the village of Phungi Thenga, and then begins a steady climb toward the Tengboche Monastery. From here, the path continues through lush forests of rhododendron and juniper before reaching Deboche, located at an altitude of 3,820 meters (12,533 feet). This peaceful village offers stunning views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. Deboche is an excellent place to rest and acclimatize before heading further toward the Everest Base Camp. The area is also known for its quiet, serene atmosphere and proximity to the beautiful Tengboche Monastery.

Activities : Trekking

The trek from Deboche to Dingboche takes you deeper into the Khumbu Valley, offering spectacular views of the surrounding snow-capped peaks. The trail ascends gradually, passing through the village of Pangboche, known for its historical monastery. As you continue, the terrain becomes more rugged, with alpine meadows and yak pastures along the way. The altitude increases as you approach Dingboche, which sits at an elevation of 4,410 meters (14,470 feet). Dingboche is a beautiful, quiet village with stunning views of Mount Ama Dablam and other peaks. This area is often used for acclimatization, allowing trekkers to adjust to the altitude before continuing further toward Everest Base Camp. The village offers a range of lodges, and the surroundings provide a tranquil setting for rest and acclimatization.

Activities : Trekking

Today we will hike up to Nagarstang peak for acclimatization. Nagarstang peak sits around 5000m so doing this will greatly benefit our acclimatization process. We will spend the rest of the day resting and exploring the Dingboche valley.

Activities : Trekking

From Dingboche, we will retrace our route to Pheriche and begin a moderate walk to Dugla. Walking through the steep moraine of Khumbu glacier, we will head towards Chupki Lhara which is festooned with prayer flags. It is also known as the memorial site for deceased climbers. The trail stretches through the Khumbu glacier moraine to Lobuche. On the way, we can rejoice in the close-up views of Pumori, Khumbutse and other peaks and mountains.

Activities : Trekking

A real early start is required to reach the Everest Base Camp. It takes several hours as the trail weaves its way through ice pinnacles and past the crevasses of the Khumbu Glacier. After a brief lunch and rest, we take the trail to Everest Base Camp through the once-vast Gorak Shep Lake. Only upon reaching the Everest Base Camp do we really appreciate the Everest climbers who brave the risky route through the Khumbu icefall. Mountaineer’s tents stand out in bright colours against the monotony of grey surroundings (especially in the spring). Nuptse, Khumbuste and Pumori are the mountains we can view from the base camp. We return to Gorakshep for a restful night.

Activities : Trekking

Be prepared to tackle thin air at this high altitude. We will leave our camp in Gorakshep pretty early in the morning as our target will be to get a sunrise view over Everest from Kalapattar. The route offers us views of Lingtren, Khumbutse, and Changtse peaks. Once we arrive at Kalapattar, we will get unobstructed views of Mount Everest. After spending a memorable time at Kalapattar and capturing the memories in photographs, we will return to Lobuche.

Activities : Hiking

Leaving Lobuche village, we will move along the rocky moraine path towards Lobuche High Camp. From Lobuche village, it takes 3 hrs to get to the Lobuche High Camp which is situated at 5,250m/17,224ft. After a gradual climb for an hour, we ascend to a steep rocky section for nearly an hour. We will climb through the rocky terrain to Lobuche High Camp. Once we reach High Camp, we will take lunch and rest for a while before doing the climbing training Dinner will be served early tonight as we prepare to leave at midnight the next day for our summit push.

Activities : Camping

We will wake up quite early this day as we aim to reach the summit before 10 am. We head out to the summit during predawn at around 2 am. The exact time of departure from the high camp will be suggested as per your walking pace. From the high camp to the summit it’s about 7-8 hrs of a climb and descent to the high camp will take around 4 hrs. The first few hours of a climb don’t involve the use of crampons and the terrain mostly consists of snow and rock. Fixed ropes are usually placed along all the sections of the climb starting from the high camp. After almost 3 hrs, we get to the crampon point of Lobuche Peak, which is just at the base of a 60-degree vertical climb on a fixed rope. From here, the climb begins somewhat technical with climbing on mixed conditions of rock, ice and snow. After another 3 hrs of mixed climbing on a fixed rope on an average 45-degree incline we get to the summit of Lobuche East (6119m/20,075ft). The summit allows enticing views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Cholatse, Ama Dablam, Pumori and other mountains in the Everest region. After spending some quality time at the summit, we will lower down to Lobuche High Camp for lunch and then towards Thugla

Activities : Camping

We will retrace the route through the wide valley of the Khumbu River and walk past pretty tiny Sherpa settlements of Orsho and Shomare to Pangboche. Pangboche is popular for its oldest monastery in the Khumbu region. We can rejoice in the views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kangtaiga and Kongde ridges and Imja Tse River from Pangboche village.

Activities : Trekking

Leaving Pangboche, we will head towards Amadablam Base Camp by following the scenic trail that stretches down to the river and take sharp climb to Kharka. The trail offers close-up views of Amadablam, Lhotse, Lobuche, Pumori, Cholatse, Kusum Kangaru, Thamserku, Amphu Gyabjen and others. As we move ahead, view of Amadablam Mountain becomes more vivid. Once we reach the base camp of Amadablam, we can get views of many stunning peaks and hanging glaciers. We will meet our other crew at Base Camp.

We will target to make our final ascent to the summit on these days after completing our rotation. Since we have to adjust according to the situations like weather conditions and other factors, it is not possible to have a fixed itinerary for these days. Base Camp to Camp 1 (5,705m/18,718ft): From the Base Camp, we will move through grassy ridges and head east to a broad saddle from where we will get a view of Mingbo La pass. Heading north through boulders to the ridge, we will reach an altitude of 5705 m where we will set our Camp I. Camp 1 to Camp 2 (5,900m/19,357ft): Leaving Camp 1, we will follow the snowy trail to the top of the ridge. We need to make several small snow steps. We will head east and after walking through the ground, we will reach the top of the ridge that is tapered at the point. We will proceed to the crest of the ridge and move further to the west. Later, we will follow the easy trail on the eastern face to reach the top of the yellow tower. After a bit of a difficult climb of the section, we will reach Camp 2. Camp 2 to Camp 3 (6,300m/20,770ft): Moving east, we will proceed to the grey tower. A cautious climb from the tower will take us to an amphitheatre. Climbing further to the gully, we will ascend to the snow slope and proceed to the mushroom ridge from where we will head to Camp 2.7 (6300m). Camp 3 to Summit (6,812m/22,350ft): Leaving Camp, we will walk through a crevasse in the upper face and climb the ice slope to the right of Dablam. We will head west and arrive at the small snowfield located below Bergschrund. Crossing it, we will reach the top of the highest-hanging glacier. A final trail through an ice crest will take us to the summit. After spending some time at the summit, we will descend to Base Camp.
