Everest Base Camp Classic Trek

Your arrival in Kathmandu (Tribhuvan International Airport) will be received by official representative with warmest regards. In Nepal our staffs are trained to treat guests as a form of god; it begins with spotting you in the airport, will welcome and introduce you, put a beautiful garland of marigolds on your neck, offer you a bottle of drinking water, and escort you to the hotel. After sweet introduction (you will identify the official by placard with traveler’s Name on it) they will escort you to the designated hotel, you do not have to worry about anything onwards, just enjoy the ambiance. The chaotic streets of Kathmandu will finally lead to your hotel and here we will plan everything as per your preferences and at your convenience. Now we are responsible for your satisfaction.

Approx. 30 minutes one way flight to Lukla measuring 135 km areal distance Kathmandu-Lukla is world’s renowned STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) flight you will experience. This flight gets tricky in most cases because of mountain weather conditions and the poor air traffic management of the aviation authorities in the domestic terminal in Kathmandu airport. With proper planning and calculations; we are always flying our travelers in a safe weather window of the day while taking whatever action is required to facilitate the entire procedure. In the high tourist season, the aviation authority diverts the Lukla flight base to Manthali airport instead of the domestic terminal in Kathmandu. This is an addition of another 140 Km (3.5 to 4 hours) drive from Kathmandu just to catch the daring and the wildest flight of the world, that flight to Lukla.

After landing in Lukla, you will take a tea or snacks break, check your gear for the last time and proceed on our trek to Everest Base Camp. We will end today’s walk at Phakding, a small Sherpa settlement on the side of fast flowing Dudhkoshi River. Initially the walking trail follows an easy downhill the almost straight trail afterwards. Though no big mountain can be seen today, walking trail will continue alongside the Dushkoshi River with green forests on both sides. Arrangement for the lunch stop is made in the middle of the trail. We will reach Phakding after a walk of approximately 3-4 hours. Once you reach the hotel in Phakding, you will explore the area if you like to and rest for that night.

The walk from Phakding to Namche Bazaar starts at an elevation of 2650 meters and reaching a height of 3470 meters. The trail is relatively easy up to the Hillary Bridge of Khumjung, where one can stop to take beautiful picture with views of the surrounding mountains. Crossing the bridge itself is also an iconic experience of this trail. After crossing the iconic bridge the trail becomes steeper and demands a bit more effort to climb up to Namche Bazaar. The ascent is worth it, as it offers stunning views of the greenery and mountain river that run alongside it.

Throughout today’s walk, one can enjoy the natural beauty of the region, with pine and rhododendron forests, cascading waterfalls, and towering peaks that surround the trail. Along the way, one may also encounter local Sherpa people and their traditional villages, as well as plenty of lodges and teahouses where they can rest and refuel for the journey ahead. We will rest in Namche and if any one likes, they can explore the evening market with its unique ambience.

Get ready for a day of adventure and breathtaking views. Today marks the beginning of our acclimatization hikes and activities, as we explore the stunning surroundings and attractions of the trail in and around Namche Bazaar. After fueling up with a delicious breakfast in our hotel, we'll ascend to an impressive altitude of 3,870 meters before descending back down to rest at 3,460 meters as a part of acclimatization. And the best part? The climb leads us to the world-renowned Everest View Hotel for an jaw dropping panorama view of the Himalayan mountain range.

As we make our way towards this unparalleled viewpoint, we'll tackle a steep uphill climb of about 600 meters. But once we reach the top of the barren hills, with the wind blowing through our hair, we'll be able to bask in the glory of the Himalayas. In the North East direction, we'll be greeted by Rakamtse Peak(6,423m), Cholatse Peak(6,335m), Taboche Peak(6,495m), Mt. Nuptse I(7,864m), Mt. Everest(8,848m), Mt. Lhotse(8,516m), Mt. Ama Dablam(6,814m). And as we gaze out to the east, we'll spot the stunning Kangtega, Thamserku, and Kusum Kangguru mountains towering below 7,000 meters.

But from Namche bazaar we will only see Thamserku(6,623m), Kusum Kangguru(6,367m) and Kongde Ri(6,187m). After taking in all these stunning sights and documenting the moment, we'll head back down to our hotel to rest, reflect and recharge for tomorrow's trek to Tengboche. So let's strap on our boots and get ready for an unforgettable day of exploration, adventure, and unparalleled beauty.

Our today's trek to Tengboche begins after breakfast by heading towards the East from Namche Bazaar. This leg of the journey boasts a well-maintained trail that is wider than any other part we've encountered so far. As we trek, we'll take in the stunning Tenzing Norgay Memorial Chhorten and other charming Sherpa settlements on our way to the Dudhkoshi river. We will get to see glorious view of Mt. Ama Dablam and other ranges during the trek of this day.

After crossing the river, we'll embark on a gorgeous uphill climb to Tengboche. The path is lined with lush mountain forests, offering a breath of fresh air and a chance to reconnect with nature. Once we reach Tengboche, we'll be met with a small village perched on top of a hill, home to the largest Gompa in the Khumbu region of Nepal. This sacred Monastery is the perfect place to explore and seek prayers for peace and serenity. From Tengboche we will see the closeup view view of Mt. Amadablam and Mt. Thamserku

Just after leaving Tengboche village, we will reach Deboche village with a stunning view of Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt.Everest at a distance accompanied by Lhotse and Nuptse mountain ranges. Greenary ends after crossing a bridge over Imja Khola just before reaching Pangboche village, where we will begin to see barren mountainous terrain with no vegetation at all. We will experience the Himalayas coming closer to our eyes after every ascent.

The air gets thinner as travelers will feel shortness in their breadth. Passing this beautiful Sherpa settlement of Pangboche and all these rocky trails with the Himalayas right in front of you, we will reach Dingboche after a 4-5 hour trek.

Experience the breathtaking view of the Himalayas like never before by walking up to Nangkartshang Hill, also known as Nagarjun Hill. Located at an elevation of 5,073 meters and just a 2.5 km hike from Dingboche Hotel, this viewpoint offers a panoramic sight of Mt. Ama Dablam (6,814m), Mt. Baruntse(7,152m), Mt.Makalu Southeast(7,860m), Island Peak or Imjatse (6,180m) towards East along with Mt. Taboche(6'495m), Mt.Cholatse(6335m), Mt. Nirekha(6,159m), Mt.Cho Oyu,(8201m) & Lobuche East Mountain from left to right on West.

Not only that! You will get mesmerized by viewing the entire Imja Valley surrounded by high & shining Himalayan ranges. Not forgetting about South views where you can focus your vision onto mountains such as Kangtega (6783mts) & Thamserku (6623mts). After spending unforgettable moments gazing across these scenic masterpieces we'll descend back down into Dingboche village for well-deserved rest before beginning our journey fully acclimatized.

Today's walking journey will take us on one of the world's highest-elevation trails, ranging from 4,380 meters to 4,920 meters. Today’s trek covers a distance of approximately 8.2 kilometers and may take around 5-6 hours to complete or more.

As we leave Dingboche village and venture towards Labuche, we'll be rewarded with stunning views along the way. To our southwest side lies three peaks below seven thousand meters while Taboche and Cholatse peaks can also be seen just about four to five km away from the trail in that same direction.

To our northwest side lie Nirekha Peak, Labuche East Peak as well as Mt Pumori at an impressive height of over seven thousand meters all lined up beautifully before us - stretching leftwards then rightwards respectively.

After passing through Dhugla Village which doubles as a campsite for trekkers en route; there are steep uphill climbs leading up Khumbu Glacier where you'll see breathtaking sights like Mount Pumori again alongside other giants including Khumbutse Peak (northwest), Mt Nuptse & its siblings who stand tall between heights ranging between ~7732meters –7815meters proudly supported by distant Lhotse on a far-right corner within north-west direction visible throughout many parts ahead until reaching destination point i.e., Labuche!

It’s recommended that trekkers prepare adequately for high-altitude hiking such as acclimatizing properly beforehand or carrying oxygen tanks if necessary! With these precautions taken into account though today onwards they’re most likely going feel the Himalayas in a true sense than ever before thanks largely due to the sheer majesty of surroundings constantly reminding them why Nepal remains one sought-after trekking destination worldwide…

Today's walk is the most highly anticipated day of our trip. We will traverse the side of Khumbu Glacier to reach Gorakshep from Labuche, which should take us only 2-3 hours on a non-inclined rocky trail. However, due to high altitude, every step we take requires extra effort and attention.

Along the way, we'll be greeted by majestic views of Mt. Pumori (7,138 meters) in the northern direction and all Mt. Nuptse range in the northeast direction. We need to complete all activities before mid-day when dry and icy winds start blowing at high speed as it could cause health problems for travelers.

Just before reaching Gorakshep lies Changri Shar Glacier junction with Khumbu Glacier - another wonder of this world where nothing seems stable because everything below us moves slowly but continuously; however one cannot feel that movement instantly! This adventure is truly rewarded by Himalayan views in Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar summit.

Once we arrive at Gorakshep after lunchtime ,we can continue our trek towards Everest Base Camp – 1-1½ hour walk each way for a real experience like no other! It’s here where expeditions begin their journey of Highest Mountain. We will interact with climbers about their plans & preparations wherever possible!

We're surrounded by breathtaking mountain ranges such as: Mt.Pumori, Mt Lingtren(6,714m), Khumbutse Peak(6,636m), Changtse Peak(7,543m) on north-western side while just a small portion of Mount Everest appears far away along its northeastern edge visible from base camp itself. We hike Kalapatthar Summit next morning if weather permits giving beautiful view surrounding mountains including highest peak ever seen anywhere else -Mt.Everest. With memories full hearts & great experiences gained during today's trekking back down into Gorekshep overnight stay.

Prepare to witness the world's longest stretch of Himalayan Range in the Khumbu region by embarking on an unforgettable trek. To ensure optimal viewing, we will begin our ascent at least three hours before sunrise. After a moderate uphill climb lasting two to three hours, we'll arrive at our view point where one of nature's most incredible wonders awaits us: The world's best sunrise and tallest mountains.

As soon as the sun peeks over those shiny mountain peaks during golden hour, you'll be awestruck by what lies before your eyes- it truly is an indescribably breathtaking experience that leaves many speechless with tears of joy after their tough journey to reach this heavenly summit.

From Kalaptthar viewpoint, you can see Mt.Pumori stretching towards north along with Mt.Lingtren and Khumbutse Peak aligning themselves beside magnificent Mount Everest which stands tall in all its glory! Towards west lie Nuptse and gigantic face of Mount Everest while Ama Dablam,Pokalde peak,Thamserku Mountain ,Cholatse Mountain,Lobuche East & West are visible from south-west side alongside other smaller peaks not mentioned here.

After taking enough time soaking up these jaw-dropping views atop Kalapatthar View Point (5545m),we will descend back down towards Gorakshep for breakfast followed by continuing onwards until reaching Phiriche. Phiriche is the village in next side of Dingboche village where we stayed during our ascend. We will also see Cho La Lake on our way back to Phiriche.

We will begin our downhill journey from Phiriche after breakfast, with the goal of reaching Namche Bazaar within 5-6 hours. Namche Bazaar is a significant town located in the Solu Khumbu region of Nepal that serves as a popular stopover point for trekkers heading towards or back from Mount Everest Base Camp.

Along the way, we will enjoy stunning mountainous vibes such as barren lands and rocky trails while feeling refreshed by chilled air. We'll break for lunch mid-way through our trekking journey before continuing to Pangboche village.

After crossing a metal suspension bridge over Imja Khola, we'll reach Debuche where there's an abrupt change in ambiance - it gets greener and warmer! Gradually you'll start experiencing comfort and strength in your body during this part of your trip.

Upon arrival at Namche Bazaar, you can look forward to better facilities than what was available on previous days including comfortable accommodation options suited to high altitudes. Facilities include clean restrooms/hot showers, better food, cozy beds/blankets/pillows/sheets plus other amenities needed after long hikes!

The walk begins with a steep downhill from Namche Bazaar to Hillary Bridge, but after crossing it, the trail becomes less inclined all the way up to Lukla.

After 6-7 hours of trekking, we finally arrive at Lukla where we can rest and restore ourselves before taking our flight out of Khumbu region. This marks the end of one's most memorable travel experience in Nepal.

Upon returning back to Kathmandu there will be an overnight stay with farewell dinner hosted by company executives so that travellers can share their experiences openly while providing feedback for future improvements needed during trips organized by them.

For your body, mind and soul this trip will turn out to be most effective enhancer. Even any other treks in Himalayas of Nepal which are properly guided to physically strengthen travelers, mentally sharpen them and emotionally heal them would be an ideal choice as holiday plan.

Early in the morning we will take the flight out of Khumbu region to Kathmandu. Then travelers can chose to be in their hotel or take any additional excursion guided of on their own. We will be together with officials in the evening for farewell cum trip success dinner.
