Expand all

On the first day, you’ll arrive in Kathmandu and be greeted by a representative from the trekking company who will take you to your hotel. This day is mostly for resting and adjusting to the time zone and new surroundings.

On day two, you’ll complete any necessary official procedures, such as obtaining permits and meeting with your guide for a briefing on the upcoming trek. This is a good day to double-check your gear and make sure you have everything you need.

Day three is spent exploring the culturally rich city of Kathmandu. You’ll visit famous landmarks such as Pashupatinath temple, Swayambhunath stupa, and Boudhanath stupa. These are important religious sites and offer insight into the unique culture of Nepal.

On day four, you’ll take an early morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, a small town in the Khumbu region. The flight itself is an exciting adventure as you fly over the mountains and land on a small runway. From Lukla, you’ll begin your trek to Phakding, a small village on the banks of the Dudh Kosi river.

On day five, you’ll continue your trek along the Dudh Kosi river and cross several suspension bridges before reaching the bustling village of Namche Bazar. This is a hub for trade and tourism in the Khumbu region and is surrounded by stunning mountain views.

Day six is reserved for acclimatization, during which you can explore the village and hike to higher elevations to help your body adjust to the thin air. This is an important step to ensure you’re ready for higher altitudes later on in the trek.

On day seven, you’ll trek to the green valley of Khumjung, which is known for its monastery and the Yeti skull kept in the monastery. Along the way, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.

The trail passes through Gorak Shep, the last settlement on the trail, and continues through the Khumbu glacier and the memorial ground dedicated to climbers who lost their lives while attempting to summit Mount Everest, before reaching Lobuche, a small settlement at the foot of the Khumbu glacier. The trek provides panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, including Nuptse, Pumori, and Khumbutse. Once you reach Lobuche, you can enjoy the serene and peaceful surroundings of the village.

This day is reserved for acclimatization and rests in Lobuche, which is an important step to help your body adjust to the altitude. You can use this day to explore the village and its surroundings, or simply relax and rest before the next leg of your journey.

This is one of the most exciting days of the trek as you finally make your way to the base camp of the world’s tallest peak. The trail follows the Khumbu glacier and you’ll pass through rocky terrain and moraines before reaching the base camp. You’ll have an opportunity to interact with other climbers and take in the stunning views of the surrounding peaks.

These days are reserved for the climbing period for those who are attempting to summit Mount Everest. This is a challenging and intense period that requires expert mountaineering skills and extensive experience. You’ll be accompanied by experienced guides and Sherpas who will help you navigate the mountain and ensure your safety.

This day is reserved for cleaning up the base camp and packing up the gear. It’s important to leave the area clean and free of any waste, so it’s ready for the next group of climbers.

After the intense and challenging climbing period, it’s time to begin your descent. The trail descends steeply through rhododendron and juniper forests and crosses several rivers before reaching Pangboche village. After lunch, continue walking to Pheriche, a small but beautiful village in the Khumbu region.

Continue your descent as the trail descends steeply and crosses several suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River. Enjoy stunning views of the mountains as you make your way back to Namche Bazar, where you can enjoy a comfortable night’s rest.

This is the last day of trekking, and the trail is mostly downhill. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and reminisce on your journey as you make your way back to Lukla. This is a great time to reflect on your experience and celebrate your accomplishment.
