Itinerary

Welcome to the Himalayan country of Nepal. Our representative will be waiting to welcome you and transfer you to your hotel in Kathmandu from the airport. Later in the evening, we will take you to welcome dinner at one of the finest restaurants in Kathmandu offering typical Nepalese cuisine during which we will also brief you about the trip. Overnight at hotel.

After breakfast, we will take you on our guided trip to the cultural world heritage sites in Kathmandu Valley. We will visit the revered Hindu temple Pashupatinath, the world's biggest stupa- Bouddhanath stupa, and the monkey temple Swayambhunath. We will also explore the historic Kathmandu Durbar Square and enjoy its magnificent architecture and warm ambiance. We will also visit Kumari temple, home of the living goddess Kumari. You can also take your time to do trek preparation and talk to your trekking staff regarding any questions about the trip and necessary preparations.

We will take the earliest possible flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. Lukla has a tiny airstrip and the scenic flight takes just above 40 minutes. While the guides and porters will divide the baggage, you can have a good look around the place and take picture. We will have our lunch depending upon the time we land in Lukla. From Lukla, we start our walk to Phakding village. We will stay overnight in Phakding. We can spend our evening strolling around the village.

Our hike will start after we have our breakfast. We start the walk from the banks of Dudh Koshi River. We will have to cross this river twice, which brings us further to a small village called Monjo. Monjo is known as the gateway to Sagarmatha National Park. After entering the National Park, we descend down to the Dudh-Koshi River upon which we arrive at Jorsalle village. We walk further from there heading off to Namche Bazaar, a prosperous trade hub in the lap of the Himalayas, which is also the capital of the Khumbu region. We will stay overnight at a hotel in Namche Bazaar.

After already having ascended an altitude of 3,440 m (11,253ft), we will use a day of the trek for acclimatization. It is very important that our body be prepared for further ascending. You will have the day at your disposal and can choose to do what you wish with it. You can walk up to the Everest View Point Hotel and enjoy the view it offers. You can also choose to just walk around Namche Bazaar and observe the local proceedings and lifestyle. If it is Saturday today, there will be a local traditional Saturday Market and it will be a wonderful experience visiting the marketplace. There is a Sherpa Museum in Namche, which would be a great place to visit if you are into Sherpa culture and history of mountaineering.

We will start our trek with pleasant walk through the forest with magnificent view of mountains after an early breakfast. The great view of the mighty peaks like Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku and Kwangde peak is a constant throughout the day. The trail will ascend through the forested trail on its way to Tyangboche. The first thing that could draw your attention after reaching Tyangboche could be its big monastery. Tyangboche has a large campsite, teahouses, and lodges overseeing Mt. Ama Dablam. We will spend the night at a hotel in Tyangboche.

We will first trek down to Phungithanka, a small settlement with couple of teahouses. From there, the trail descends through a forest path. We cross a suspension bridge over the Dudh Koshi River and head towards Sanasa. The highlight of the day will be our visit to the forbidden village of Khumjung. Khumjung is the biggest village in the area and has a beautiful monastery that is named after the village itself. The Khumjung Monastery has what they claim to be a yeti scalp. This Sherpa village with hospitable people will warm your heart.

We will head up to Khunde village in the morning. There is a big charity-run hospital in Khunde which was set up by renowned climbers. A little further up is the Syangboche airstrip, the world's highest airstrip. The area around the airstrip offers a scenic view of both the Mountain range and Sherpa villages.

Our trail for the day passes through the Mende village. The backdrop of majestic mountains will never leave as we head toward Namche. We will have our lunch at Namche and continue our trek till we reach at Monju. We will stay overnight at Monju.

The last day of our Trek takes us to Lukla. We will start the day as usual after breakfast and an easy walk through the Sherpa villages nestled beneath the Himalayas. You can walk at your own pace today as we head back to Lukla from where we started our adventure. You will probably have mixed feeling. You might feel delighted that you have successfully completed the trek and experience the thrills and beauty of it. At the same time, you might also be disappointed that you have to leave the beauty and the adventure behind. However, there is always next time and there is always next adventure waiting for you. The evening and the night will be marked with celebrations that will include a lot of singing and dancing. We will spend the night at a hotel in Lukla.

After an early morning flight to Kathmandu our guide transfer you to your hotel. You may have time to relax after your journey and take back your breath and rest at your hotel with ending your Himalayan trip with us.

Some of you might also have few more days and some other activities planned in Nepal. For the rest of you who are returning today, depending upon what time your return flight is, you can do some last-minute shopping if you like to. We will transfer you to the airport hoping it will not be long before we see each other again!We wish you a wonderful Himalayan adventure with us!
