Welcome to Nepal and the start of your Everest adventure! Arrive into Kathmandu Airport and included transfer to your hotel. This evening have a welcome drink and attend a briefing about your trek.
Kathmandu – Lukla – Phakding. This morning we take a scenic flight to Lukla, gateway to the Everest region flying over the Langtang and Jugal ranges that surround the Kathmandu basin and the Rolwaling Himal. After lunch at the riverside village of Ghat, we begin our e...
Phakding – Namche. Crossing the river on a large suspension bridge we head over to Jorsale and continue trekking along the river today. The trail climbs out of the valley to Monjo where we enter the Everest National Park. Continuing, we make a steep ascent to reach Namche Bazaar, our resting place for the night. Namche Bazaar is the gateway to the Himalayas and a famous trading place.
Namche Bazaar – Khumjung. Today we set off on a steep climb to the Shyangboche airstrip which services the famous Hotel Everest View, before following the trail down to the Khumjung Village at the foot of the Sacred Mountain Khumbila. The panoramic mountain views en route today are superb!
Khumjung – Phortse. A steep walk takes us to the Mong La pass today with spectacular views of Ama Dablam and Khumbila mountains. Our camp for the night is in the very traditional Sherpa village of Phortse, where we may spot mountain goats or danphe, the national bird of Nepal.
Phortse - Dingboche. Enjoy wonderful views of Tengboche and Ama Dablam mountain during this morning’s ridge climb up the Imja Khola Valley to the village of Upper Pangboche with its ancient monastery. After lunch, we continue up the glacial valley to Dingboche, passing some of Khumbu’s beautifully carved prayer stones.
Dingboche - Chukkung Valley - Dingboche. Today we’ll experience one of the highlights of the trek with an excursion to the incredible Chukkung Valley, flanked by Lhotse Mountain to the north, Ama Dablam to the south and the great fluted ice walls of the Amphu Laptsa Pass. We trek back to Dingboche where there is the option to spend a second night or trek on to Duglha if we’re not too tired.
Dingboche - Lobuche. Continuing our journey, the trail gradually climbs to the tiny settlement of Duglha, nestled below the terminal morraine of the humbu Glacier. From here there’s the option to take a side trip to a breathtaking viewpoint overlooking Tshola Tsho gla...
Lobuche – Gorakshep – Everest Base Camp - Gorakshep - Pheriche. Continuing along the main trail to Everest, we hike to Gorakshep. This is a short distance but somewhat challenging at the present altitude. From here we can follow in the footsteps of the late, great Sir...
Pheriche – Namche Bazaar. Our route today starts back through the long walled paths of the Pheriche Village and a gradual ascent along the flanks of the hills below the village before a drop to the Duh Koshi. A little further the route joins the main trail coming from...
Namche Bazaar – Lukla. This morning, we retrace our steps down hill through the beautiful forest landscapes, continuing back to Jorsale where we leave the national park before stopping for a rest in Monjo. We further re-trace our steps along the Dudh Kosi, crossing to...
