This base camp trek is one of the most renowned treks of Nepal that allows majestic and dramatic views of the many other mountains besides Everest. We all have dreamt to conquer the top of the world, an altitude of 8,848m. We need great fitness, very strong determination, and great courage to make it to the Everest Base Camp.

Itinerary
Our representative will be waiting for you in the Tribhuwan International Airport to welcome and help you to make the transfer to your hotel in Kathmandu. You will get some refreshment time which will be then followed by the welcome dinner in one of the traditional Nepalese restaurants in the center of Kathmandu. You will be given short details about the trip and then again taken back to the hotel for an overnight stay.
Early in the morning, we will take a picturesque flight of around 40 minutes from Kathmandu to the deadliest airport at Lukla (if weather conditions and other local factors don't result in cancellations and delays). After arriving at Lukla, we will meet the Sherpa team. You will have time to explore the city while the guide divides and sorts a load of luggage into sections that will be carried by porters. We will take a short walk to the northwest of the village of Phakding, where we will spend the night. You can spend the remaining time exploring the community to learn more about it.
We will start our hike through the western banks of Dudh Koshi after an early breakfast. Continuing the trek, we arrive at a settlement in Monjo after we cross two of the tiny suspension bridges. A little after a few more hours of the trek lead us to Jorsalle, which is the only town before Namche Bazaar. Namche Bazaar is the capital thriving trading center of the Khumbu Region. Overnight.
As we are trekking a higher elevation, we will need a certain time to adjust to the increasing elevation, hence, we will take an acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar (3,440m/11,283ft). Namche Bazaar is a beautiful location that is worthwhile exploring the neighborhood. In this place, you can buy anything from toothpicks to ice axes. Many people can shop in the Saturday market to fulfill their daily needs as there is only one retail market in the nearby areas. You can utilize your time with a short visit to the Everest View Point Hotel which offers an amazing panoramic view. You may also go back to your hotel for the night after visiting the Sherpa Museum, a terrific place to learn about Sherpa culture and mountaineering history.
Early on the fifth day of the trek, we will leave the hamlet and travel up a high-level path above the Dudh Koshi, taking in breathtaking mountains along the way, including Mount Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Thamserku, and Kwangde. The route will then descends through a blue pine forest before we return to Phunki Thanga to bridge the Dudh Kosi (3,250m). We will ascend once more on a switchback trail that is occasionally made quite dusty by yak trains to reach the Thyangboche Monastery, a place that must be visited once in a lifetime. You can meet up with the monks and know about its history when it was destroyed by fire in 1989. Overnight.
We will get up early and then pace up the trails that take us through the rhododendron forests and meadows to the Buddhist nunnery at Deboche before we arrive at the Imja Khola. The traverses that lead to the Makalu region and the Hinko Valley through the Sherpani Col (6,100m) are the most challenging ones on our expedition. The Island Peak and Amphu Laptsa Peak both pass through Dingboche, Chukung Col, and further still. Overnight.
You'll take the day off to relax before taking some extreme adventures the following day. The trek to Chhukung (4,730m), which takes about 3–4 hours from Dingboche, towards the east within the Imjatse Valley, is worthwhile if you don't want a gradual rest day. Although the trek is gradual, you can feel the thin air as the altitude gains gradually coming towards Chhukung. You may choose to take a full day off if not then there are some places where you can go for a day's walk. There aren't many teahouses in Chhukung, but those that do provide wonderful views of the glaciers and snow-covered peaks. Following a pleasant stroll, We return to Dingboche for the night.
Our journey on this day will take you to the Dughla village, over a hill where there are several memorials to Sherpas who lost their lives on Everest trips. Enjoying views of Kalar Pattar and Pumori, continuing along the Khumbu Glacier Moraine, we will travel through the difficult road to Lobuche. Overnight.
Our hike will start with a small incline at the beginning that quickly turns into a steeper ascent that lasts for about 30 minutes. Then, a descent back down will lead us to Gorak Shep, where we will be checking into our lodge, passing over the windy and rocky trail with an amazing view of Mt. Pumori, Mt. Nuptse, and other magnificent peaks. After lunch, we continue on our trip to the Khumbu Icefall and Everest Base Camp. The trail crosses through the stony dunes, moraines, and streams and continues till we reach the base camp. During the peak expedition season, most of the climbers congregate at the Everest Base Camp Trek in preparation for summiting Everest. In the base camp, we will tour the base camp and the glacier that will surround it before making our way back to Gorakshep for the night.
On this day, you will be climbing to the highest elevation on the trek. Your guide will be scheduling time to climb Kala Patthar(5,550m), the place that offers the most breathtaking Everest dawn views. You can get to this famous viewpoint after two hours of walking. The place will offer the greatest views of Mount Everest, Nuptse, Pumori, Ama Dablam, and the entire Khumbu Himalayan range. After admiring this magnificent sight, we will descend to Gorak Shep, have breakfast, and then turn around and travel back toward Pheriche for the night.
As we make our way to Pangboche, the trail will get primarily downhill. The highest year-round village in the upper Khumbu Valley is Pangboche. The Pangboche monastery, the oldest monastery in the area, is open for visits when we get here. You will bring wonderful memories with you as you descend the slope toward Phungithanka via Tangboche, then continue trekking to Kyanjuma, the intersection of the three routes leading to Gokyo Valley, Khumjung Village, and Namche Bazaar. The rhododendron forest contains a great view of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Tawache, and Lhotse as well as a variety of fauna, including Himalayan Griffons, Musk deer, and wild goats. In the evening, you may tour a nearby area and take in the breathtaking environment. Stay the night at Namche.
After breakfast, you can walk at your leisure through the lush green surroundings, going past the amazing mountain vistas, and local Sherpa hamlet down to the Hilary suspension bridge, Lukla. Upon arrival in Lukla, your guide will confirm the details of your airline ticket, and you'll have time to explore the neighborhood before spending the night at a hotel.
If the weather allowed, we take an early morning flight to Kathmandu. Our guide will transport you to your accommodation. When a lengthy journey to the Himalayas ends, you may have time to unwind, catch your breath, and recover at your hotel. We will be gathering that evening for the last goodbye meal.
You will be free on the final day of the trip to start any additional adventures or activities you may have reserved with us before your departure flight or drive. You will be taken to the international airport if you are flying back home. End of our services for this trip
