Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu
Your journey begins in the vibrant city of Kathmandu. After your arrival, our team will meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel. You’ll have some free time to relax, explore the city, and prepare for the adventure ahead.
Day 2: Flight to Lukla and Trek to Phakding (2,610 meters)
We take a scenic flight to Lukla, one of the most thrilling airports in the world. From Lukla, we begin our trek to Phakding, a beautiful Sherpa village. This first day is short and gentle to help you adjust to the altitude.
Day 3: Trek to Namche Bazaar (3,440 meters)
We trek through lush forests and across suspension bridges to reach Namche Bazaar, the vibrant heart of the Khumbu region. Namche is a bustling market town where you can stock up on supplies, enjoy local delicacies, and get your first panoramic views of Everest.
Day 4: Acclimatization Day in Namche Bazaar
Acclimatization is key, and we’ll spend the day in Namche, exploring the area. You’ll have the chance to hike to the Everest View Hotel for a stunning vista of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and other peaks. You can also visit the Sherpa Museum to learn about the culture and history of the region.
Day 5: Trek to Tengboche (3,860 meters)
Today’s trek leads us to Tengboche, home to the famous Tengboche Monastery. The monastery, surrounded by majestic peaks, is a serene place for meditation and reflection. Here, you can observe the daily rituals of the monks and experience Sherpa Buddhism firsthand.
Day 6: Trek to Dingboche (4,410 meters)
From Tengboche, we continue our journey to Dingboche, a small but beautiful village with stunning views of the surrounding peaks. This day is important for acclimatization as we’re gaining elevation, so we’ll take it slow and steady.
Day 7: Acclimatization Day in Dingboche
Another rest day to help your body adjust to the altitude. You can take a short hike to Nangkartshang Peak for panoramic views of the surrounding mountains or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful village atmosphere.
Day 8: Trek to Lobuche (4,940 meters)
Today we trek to Lobuche, a small settlement located at the foot of the towering Lobuche Peak. The rugged terrain and views of the Khumbu Glacier make this part of the trek quite spectacular.
Day 9: Trek to Gorak Shep (5,160 meters) and Visit Everest Base Camp (5,364 meters)
Today is the culmination of your journey. We make our way to Gorak Shep, the last stop before the base camp, where we’ll drop our bags and continue on foot to Everest Base Camp. The moment you step foot at Everest Base Camp will be one of the most unforgettable moments of your life. Standing at the foot of the highest mountain in the world is a humbling and awe-inspiring experience.
Day 10: Early Morning Hike to Kala Patthar (5,545 meters) and Return to Pheriche (4,240 meters)

Day 11-12: Return to Lukla
We retrace our steps back to Lukla, taking in the views from a different perspective. The return trek is easier since we’re descending to lower altitudes, giving us more time to enjoy the scenery and reflect on our journey.
Day 13: Flight back to Kathmandu
We take a flight back to Kathmandu and spend the evening relaxing or exploring the city. You can visit some of Kathmandu’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites or indulge in some last-minute shopping.
Day 14: Departure
