The trek starts with an early scenic mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla.

From Lukla, we start trekking north to the beautiful village of Phakding. It resides at an elevation of 2,700 m on the Dudh Koshi river valley. Overnight at Phakding Hotel/lodge.

After breakfast, the trek begins to Namche Bazaar which is one of the biggest Sherpa villages in Nepal. The trail takes you over the Dudhkoshi River via a long suspension bridge, and then through a beautiful pine forest to Manju, about two hours away. As we move ahead, we will approach the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park for a brief permit check and then descend to the Dudh Koshi River en route to Jorasalle. Lunch will be served here, and then it’s uphill to Namche. Your path along the riverbank is flanked by two crossings, one of which is the Hillary Suspension Bridge.

Breathtaking panoramas of the Himalayas such as Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Kwangde are some of the highlights that you cannot miss. As we descend, the trail takes us to the riverside, and then it’s across the river upwards through the forest pass. Continual uphill trek the trail shifts between a gradual grade and some seriously steep ground until you reach Tengboche which is known as one of the most beautiful places in the Everest region. We’ll stop in on the Tengboche monastery, which is one of the largest in the Khumbu region where you can observe chanting and prayer with the resident Buddhist monks. Overnight in Tengboche.

The trail goes through the rhododendron forest to Debouche followed by a bridge over the raging Imja Khola River. You’ll pass the valley wall and then cross the plains to Pangboche village where you can enjoy a great opportunity to observe a typical Sherpa village. You can also hike to the Pangboche monastery, one of the oldest in the area. The trail will be a difficult one as we move ahead, as the landscape gives way to dry and deserted mountains and you hike towards Dingboche. Overnight in Dingboche.

The trek will move more gradually be more challenging, due to the higher altitude from Dingboche. Along the trail, you can find the memorial stupas dedicated to the climbers and trekkers who lost their lives to Everest over the years. The trail further brings over steep mountain terrain to Lobuche, a small settlement with amazing panoramas of Mt. Lobuche, Mt. Pumori and the Nuptse. The evenings can be downright chilly as we are now almost 4800 meters above sea level. Overnight in Lobuche.

The trail kicks off with an initial, relatively easy trek from Lobuche to Gorek Shep. But the straight trail to Everest Base Camp is harder, involving rocky hills and moraine, formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial rubble. On the way, you will approach the Khumbu Glacier and icefall located on the slopes of Everest. At the Base Camp, you can observe unbelievable scenes of breathtaking beauty. After some time we’ll head back to Gorekshep for some much-needed relaxation after an exhausting and busy day. Overnight in Gorak Shep.

The walk from Pheriche back to Tengboche is mostly downhill.
