Itinerary

Upon your arrival at the airport, be greeted by our representative waiting outside the terminal. They will escort you to the centrally located hotel in Kathmandu, and assist with the check-in process. After settling in, you can choose to relax at the hotel or visit our Trek Around Himalayas office to gather information about your trip. To cap off your first day, we will treat you to a warm welcome dinner.

Starting your day with a hearty breakfast at the hotel, you'll journey to Tribhuvan International Airport for an early morning flight to Lukla. Lukla serves as the entry point to the Khumbu and the entire Everest Region. Once you've landed, your trek will begin with a gradual uphill hike along the left bank of the Dudh Koshi River, passing by numerous Mani walls before reaching Ghat. From there, you'll encounter a mix of uphill and downhill trekking as you make your way to Phakding.

Today you will trek along Dudhkoshi and Bhotekoshi rivers crossing several suspension bridges. If lucky you may get the first glimpse of Mount Everest and Lhotse while trekking up to Namche Bazar. Through the pine forest. You will experience a combination of uphill and downhill walking. You will halt at the entrance of Sagarmatha National Park for registration purposes, following which you will make a steady ascent towards Namche Bazaar, the hub of the Sherpa community. You will spend an additional day in Namche Bazaar, exploring the area and acclimatizing to the high altitude.

Take a much-needed break in Namche to acclimate your body to the high altitude. The principle of "hike high, sleep low" will be followed, as you hike to higher elevations and return to lower altitudes for rest. On your acclimatization day, embark on a trip to Namche Bazaar, a very bright beautiful Sherpa village ascending about 300m to the town of Khumjung to have stunning views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Damblam, Kongde, Thamserku and many more.

After spending some time taking in the incredible surroundings, you will retrace your steps back to Gorakshep, descending along the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. You will spend the night in Gorakshep.

 

Today, you will embark on a journey to reach the summit of Kalapatthar, the highest point of your trek. Unlike the base camp, Kalapatthar offers a panoramic view of the entire Himalayas, including the unobstructed sight of Mt. Everest that is obscured by Mt. Lhotse at the base camp.

It's a great pleasure to introduce myself that I had visited the Everest Base camp in Nepal last month along with Mr. Ang Dendu Sherpa and Mr.Chandra Gurung who were from the Everest Mountain area and it was scheduled by Mr. Bimal Kumar Malla Managing Director and organizer. Now I would like to recommend those enthusiastic individuals who wish to visit Everest Mountain and its sisters' mountain.

"The Everest Base Camp Trek was an incredible journey that tested my physical and mental limits, but the rewards were simply incomparable. The trek took me through beautiful landscapes, traditional villages, and high mountain passes, providing a true cultural and natural experience. The views of the surrounding peaks, including Mount Everest, were simply stunning, and I was humbled by their grandeur. I also appreciated the support and guidance of the Trek Around Himalayas and the friendly locals who welcomed us with open arms. Our guide Krishna was very much knowledgeable about the region. This trek is a must-do for anyone who loves adventure and wants to experience the beauty of the Himalayas."
