On the first day of the trek, you will arrive in Kathmandu and check into your hotel for the night. This is typically a rest day to acclimatize to the altitude and get ready for the trek ahead. You can use this day to explore the city of Kathmandu and visit some of its famous landmarks such as the Swayambhunath Stupa or the Pashupatinath Temple. You can also do some last-minute shopping for any gear or supplies you may need for the trek.

Trek to Phakding (2652m) On the second day, you will take a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, where the trek begins. The flight is a breathtaking experience, as you fly over the Himalayas and get a glimpse of some of the highest peaks in the world. Upon arrival in Lukla, you will start your trek to Phakding, a small village located at 2652m altitude. This is a relatively easy day with a distance of about 10 km and 3-4 hours of walking.

On this day, you will continue your trek to Namche Bazaar, a popular stop for trekkers and a hub for local Sherpa communities. The trail is relatively flat in the beginning but gradually ascends as you approach Namche Bazaar. You will cross several suspension bridges and pass through small villages before reaching Namche Bazaar. The distance covered is about 11 km, taking around 6 hours of walking.

Back to Namche Bazaar. This is a rest day in Namche Bazaar, which is a good opportunity to explore the town and acclimatize to the altitude.

From Syangboche, you can get a panoramic view of Mount Everest and other peaks in the region.

On this day, you will continue your trek to Tengboche, a village known for its historic Buddhist monastery. The trail is relatively easy in the beginning but gets steeper as you approach Tengboche.

Day excursion to Chukung Village. After a strenuous few days of trekking, it’s important to take a rest day to allow your body to acclimatize to the high altitude. Dingboche is a great place for a rest day as it’s located at 4260m, which is a good elevation to aid in acclimatization. You can use this day to explore Dingboche or take an excursion to Chukung Village, which is located about 2-3 hours away. Chukung Village is known for its stunning views of Island Peak and Ama Dablam, two of the most popular peaks in the Everest region.

On this day, you will continue your trek to Lobuche, a small village located at an altitude of 4930m. The distance covered is about 11 km, taking around 7 hours of walking. The trail is mostly uphill and you’ll be trekking through the Khumbu Glacier moraine. As you get closer to Lobuche, you’ll notice the terrain getting more rugged and barren. The views of the surrounding peaks are stunning and will make the strenuous climb worth it.

Everest base camp (5364m). Return back to the Gorak Shep. This is the day you’ve been waiting for – the day you’ll be trekking to Everest Base Camp! You’ll start your day by trekking to Gorak Shep, a small village located at an altitude of 5140m. After a quick lunch, you’ll head out towards Everest Base Camp, which is located at an altitude of 5364m. The distance covered is about 10 km, taking around 8 hours of walking. The trail is relatively flat and you’ll be trekking through the Khumbu Icefall. You’ll get to see the infamous Khumbu Icefall up close, which is one of the most treacherous parts of the Everest climb. Once you reach Everest Base Camp, you’ll have some time to explore and take photos before trekking back to Gorak Shep for the night.

And down to the Pheruche(4230 m) On this day, you’ll be trekking to Kalapatter, which is a small peak located at an altitude of 5545m.

The trail is mostly downhill, but there are some uphill sections as well. You’ll be retracing your steps from the first few days of the trek, so you’ll already be familiar with the route. Once you reach Namche Bazaar, you can check into your mountain lodge and rest for the night.

After breakfast, you will start your trek back to Lukla. The route will take you through the same trail you took on the first few days of the trek, but you will be retracing your steps and taking a different route than the one you came up on. The trek back to Lukla is relatively easy and will take around 8 hours of walking. You will pass through the villages of Jorsalle, Monjo, and Phakding before finally reaching Lukla. Once in Lukla, you will check into your mountain lodge for the night and celebrate the end of your trek with your fellow trekkers.

On this day, you will take an early morning flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu. This is an exciting and scenic flight, as you will get a bird’s eye view of the mountains and valleys you have been trekking through for the past 11 days. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to your hotel and have the rest of the day to explore the city, do some shopping, or just relax and enjoy your last day in Nepal.

This is the last day of your trek. Depending on the time of your departure flight, you may have some time in the morning to do some last-minute sightseeing or shopping in Kathmandu. You will then be transferred to the airport for your onward journey. It’s always bittersweet to say goodbye to Nepal, but you’ll take with you memories that will last a lifetime.
