Our team will welcome you with traditional garlands at the airport in Kathmandu and transfer you to the hotel for check-in. You will have a short briefing about your trek, acclimatization, and packing tips. We will answer all your questions before the trek begins.

Start early with a scenic mountain flight to Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region. After landing, you meet the trekking crew and begin the first walk on the trail.

The route follows the Dudh Koshi River through small Sherpa settlements, passing mani walls, prayer flags, and the first suspension bridges of the trek. By afternoon, you reach Phakding, check into a teahouse, and relax for the evening.

You follow the Dudh Koshi Valley, passing small villages and crossing several suspension bridges as the trail climbs steadily. You reach the Sagarmatha National Park entry checkpoint near Monjo for permit checks.

You then begin a steeper ascent to Namche Bazaar, the main Sherpa town of the Everest region. By afternoon, you settle into your teahouse and have time to rest and enjoy the big mountain views.

Day 4 is for acclimatization in Namche Bazaar. You hike above Namche to Hotel Everest View (3,880m) with sweeping Himalayan panoramas on a clear day. After spending time at the viewpoint, you return to Namche for a relaxed afternoon. Back in town, you can explore Namche, organize gear, and rest well for the trail ahead.

You leave Namche on a scenic ridge trail with wide mountain views, then descend to Phunki Tenga by the river. From here, the route climbs steadily through pine and rhododendron forest on the main ascent to Tengboche. By afternoon, you reach Tengboche and have time to visit the famous Tengboche Monastery and enjoy the dramatic Himalayan backdrop.

You leave Tengboche and descend toward Debuche, walking through quiet alpine forest. The trail then crosses the Imja River on a suspension bridge. You then continue climbing along the valley for an hour to reach Dingboche, an important village and acclimatization stop on the Everest Base Camp route.

This day is set for acclimatization in Dingboche before trekking higher. You hike up to Nangkartsang Peak (5,083m), where you get wide Himalayan views (often including Ama Dablam on clear days), then hike back down to Dingboche for a relaxed afternoon to rest and recover for the next trekking days.

From Dingboche, you follow a steady trail to Thukla (Dughla) with widening Himalayan views. A short, steeper climb leads to the memorials at Thukla Pass, honoring climbers lost in the mountains. You then cross rugged terrain along the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. You reach Lobuche by late afternoon for rest.

You trek from Lobuche toward Gorak Shep on a rocky trail across glacial terrain. After a short rest, the route continues to Everest Base Camp (5,364m), passing the Pyramid (Italian research center) and walking along the Khumbu glacier moraine. After time at Base Camp, you return to Gorak Shep for the night.

Before sunrise, you hike from Gorak Shep to Kala Patthar (5,555m) for the best Everest panorama. After returning to Gorak Shep for breakfast, you descend past Lobuche and the Thukla memorials, then follow the valley trail down to Pheriche (4,240m). Warmer air and easier walking make it a rewarding recovery day.

You continue the return trek down the valley, passing familiar villages and forested trails as oxygen levels feel easier again. The route drops steadily, then includes a gradual climb back into Namche Bazaar, where the lively Sherpa town feels like a comfortable stop after the high-altitude days.

Today is the final trekking day. You descend from Namche Bazaar back into the valley, cross the main suspension bridges, and pass through familiar stops like Monjo/Jorsalle as the trail follows the river again. The route continues past Phakding and climbs gently into Lukla, where your trek finishes.

You take a scenic flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu. We will transfer you to your hotel. You take a hot shower and spend time exploring the city at your own pace. You will have a farewell dinner on your last night in Nepal.

Your Everest Base Camp trek ends today. Depending on your flight schedule, a private transfer takes you from your hotel to Tribhuvan International Airport for your onward journey.
