Mount Everest Expedition

Detailed Itinerary: 

Day 01: Arrival day in Kathmandu (1,300m/4,264 ft)

Welcome to Nepal, a nation in the Himalayas. Our representative will be waiting to greet you upon arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport and will help you make the trip to your hotel in Kathmandu. After some time to rest up, we'll meet and travel to one of the classic Nepalese restaurants in the middle of Kathmandu for a welcome dinner, which will be followed by a short tour briefing, and an overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 02-03: Expedition preparation & Briefing in the Ministry of Tourism

We will explore the beautiful city, of Kathmandu, while the leader will be attending a formal briefing in the Ministry of Tourism. The city is a magnificent combination of bustling bazaars, temples, and shrines with a mix of ancient and modern architecture, as those who have been there previously would know. Our adventure guide will also inspect everyone's gear because Kathmandu is the final location where any missing items can be purchased.

Day 04: Flight to Lukla & trek to Phakding (2,652m/8,700 ft) 3-4 hrs walk

We will take a spectacular flight early morning which will take just about 40 minutes from Kathmandu to the tiny airport at Lukla. During this time, you can have a stroll while the guide will be dividing and sorting the load of luggage that needs to be carried by porters. Depending on the time of arrival at Lukla, the guide will oversee the lunch venue for the team. We will then take a short walk to Phakding village, where we will be spending the night. You can spend the remaining time exploring the community to learn more about it.

 
Day 05: Trek to Namche Bazaar (3,440m/11,283ft) 5-6 hrs walk

We will hike along the banks of Dudh-Koshi after taking our breakfast. We will cross the river twice on tiny suspension bridges before arriving at the settlement of Monjo, which serves as the park's main entrance. We will reach the penultimate settlement, Jorsalle, after a gentle descent as we approach the National Park's boundary. This suspension bridge spans the Dudh-Koshi River to reach Namche Bazaar, which is the capital of the Khumbu Region.

Day 06: Acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar

On the sixth day of the trip, we will take some rest and give our body time to adjust to the 3,440m/11,283ft altitude. We will spend the day in Namche Bazaar. You can spend your entire day at leisure, visit the Everest View Point Hotel for a stunning panoramic view, or wander through the market. If the day is Saturday, shoppers can be seen flocking to the ‘Saturday market’ to fulfill their daily necessities. The Saturday Market is the only market in the region. You can stroll back to your accommodation for the night after visiting the Sherpa Museum, an excellent site to learn about Sherpa culture and the history of mountaineering.

Day 07: Trek to Tyangboche (3,867m/12,684ft) 5-6 hrs walk

After breakfast, we will start our hike with a leisurely stroll through the forest with a breathtaking view of the mountains. The magnificent vista of the eastern snow-capped mountains, including Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Kwangde Peak can be seen throughout the trek. The path will wind uphill through a jungle to get to Tyangboche. The Tyangboche Monastery is one of the most picturesque locations in the Himalayas that will be followed by the expansive field with camping spots, teahouses, and lodges below the tall, magnificent, and gorgeous peak of Ama Dablam.

Day 08:Trek to Dingboche (4,358m/14,295 ft) 5-6 hrs walk

After breakfast, we will make our way to the Imja Khola by passing the Buddhist nunnery at Deboche. We will pass through meadows and rhododendron forests throughout the trek. The road further from Dingboche will take us to the most difficult routes towards the Makalu area and Hinko Valley via the Sherpani Col at 6,100m, Amphu Laptsa passes at 5,780m, and Island Peak itself.  We will reach the hotel in the afternoon and stay overnight at the place.

 Day 09: Trek from Dingboche to Lobuche (4,910m/16,104 ft) 5-6 hrs walk

We will take on the hard ascent to the Khumbu glacier's terminal moraine and continue along the difficult path to the resort at Lobuche. Lobuche is known for the Lhotse Ridge that towers over the huts.

Day 10: Trek to the Everest Base Camp (5,364m/17,593ft) 5-6 hrs walk

We will continue our ascent to Gorekshep after breakfast. We will travel through a winding, rocky trail that offers stunning views of Mount Pumori, Mount Nuptse, and other towering peaks. We will continue our journey after lunch, which takes us to the Everest Base Camp, where we will spend the night.

Day 11-60: Climbing Period for Mt. Everest

We shall traverse the Icefall as little as possible on the journey to Mt. Everest.

Camp 1: 20000ft. (6,400m)

Camp 1 is located in a level location covered in infinite snow, steep crevasses, and mountainsides. The place has a pleasant sun reflection which allows us to be warm and feel the atmosphere of the place during the time we are camped here. We will listen to the deep cracking murmurs of crevasses beneath our tent at night. We will traverse these places on foot to reach our further destination, Camp 2.

Camp 2: 21000ft. (6,750m)

Camp 2 is situated at a height of 21,000 feet, at the base of the snowy Mount Lhotse wall. We will proceed through the wall. Although the weather might be pleasant right, dark clouds might be rolling down to the base of camp two from the low range of the Himalayas, so we must be careful. The wind here is so strong, which makes us feel like it could blow the tents away. Upon ascending these palaces, we will arrive at Camp 3.

Camp 3: 22300ft. (7,100m)

Camp 3 is camped at an altitude of 22300 feet, situated next to Mount Lhotse's wall. We will reach camp 4 after ascending the 4,000-foot Lhotse wall using fixed rope and with adequate acclimatization. We must climb the steep permit bands on the way. The path on this way will be lost, down-slopping, and taking us through the rotten limestone. The route will continue up the Geneva Spur to the east after crossing a brief snowfield. The snowfield will finish on the flats of the south col. Oxygen should probably be utilized above Camp 3 in case the climbers will require it.

Camp 4: 26000ft. (8,400m)

The last camp of the Expedition is Camp 4. It is at an altitude of 26,000 feet which is just 500 meters away from the summit. This will be the last and most hazardous section of the climb. You will feel a fierce and violent wind blowing. The short South-East Ridge, just before the South Top (28,710 feet) will be the best route to take to go to the O summit. It will be simple to ascend to the Everest summit from here. This is the same route that was used by the late Tenzing Norge Sherpa in 1953.

Day 61:Trek from Base Camp to Thyanboche (3,867m/12,684 ft)6-7 hrs walk

We will be going back down to Tangboche after the fantastic climbs. The walk down to Thyanboche will take us about 6-7 hours. 

Day 62: Trek from Thyanboche to Phakding (2,652/8,700m ft) 5-6 hrs walk

After an early breakfast, we will trek down to Phunkethanga, a little village with a few teahouses. The trail will ascend through a woodland walk filled with wonderful memories from here. After crossing a suspension bridge over the Dudh Koshi River, we will continue our trek to Sanasa, where you will descend to Phagding for the night.

Day 63: Trek from Phakding to Lukla (2,800m/9,186 ft) 3-4 hrs walk

We will be hiking fairly easily on this day. We will go up and down staying on the same path we took to get to Lukla the first day. We will return to Lukla within 4 hours or more. After taking a quick shower, your guide will confirm your flight for the following morning. You can take a stroll around the place if you want to. You can enjoy your final celebration dinner with your trip group in the evening, then spend the night at a hotel.

Day 64: Flight back from Lukla to Kathmandu

After the fantastic trek to Everest, you will reach the day to leave the mountain. You'll return to Kathmandu by an early-morning flight, where our guide will pick you up and help you to transport you back to the hotel. After a long journey, you will have some time to unwind, catch your breath, and rest in your hotel. When we will meet the next time, we will certainly talk about your amazing mountain journey and the moments created at the top of the world.

Day 65: Final Departure

On the last day of the trip, you can start any further additional adventure you planned with us. If you plan to go back, you can also go for last-minute shopping for mementos or gifts for your family, friends, or relatives. If you are leaving, you will be taken to the international airport to catch an aircraft to your next stop. Our journey stops right here.
We wish you a wonderful Himalayan adventure with us!
