Guided tour around Kathmandu, which includes visits to places listed in UNESCO World Heritage Sites and some historic and religious significance, such as Pashupatinath, Boudhanath & Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Hindu temples, Old palaces (in and around Durbar Square Area) and inner-city market squares.

An early morning stunning scenic flight to Lukla, gateway to the Everest. Start of the trek from this region of the legendary Sherpas who have distinct features much apart from the Nepalese encountered so far. Trek north towards Phakding along meandering trails which are lined with stone walls, eventually leading to the night stop.

Our trail takes us first over the Dudhkoshi River via a long suspension bridge, and then the trail heads north as it gently starts to rise through rhododendron & magnolia forests with giant fir trees to the village of Jorsalle, where the lunch break will be taken. After a brief stop-over for lunch, the climb proceeds towards Namche Bazaar, a delightful mountain village and so-called ‘Sherpa Capital' of Khumbu. It’s a tough climb up the hill to our resting place, but you’ll be rewarded in Namche Bazaar with your first glimpse of Everest in its majesty.

This particular day is utilized to get acclimatized and adjusted to the high altitude and the thinning air. We can explore the local markets, mingle with the people, walk up to the Everest viewpoint, visit the museum, and happily laze around and bask in the sun later in the afternoon. We can also hike up the Syangboche Airport and the Everest View Hotel, one of the highest-placed hotels in the world. From this point, we can see rewarding views of the Himalayas including Mt Everest.

The trail turns northeast from Namche along a tributary valley and the mountain views start to open up, becoming more dramatic as the steep climb approaches the holy ground of Tyangboche. It is located within the Sagarmatha National Park which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tyangboche monastery is the highest monastery in the world which offers amazing views of myriad of impressive mountains, including Mt. Everest, Mt. Kwangde, Nuptse, Lhotse & Ama Dablam, and it is also the home to the highly revered Rinpoche, a Buddhist Monk. Overnight in Tyangboche.

Continue to trek from Tyangboche crossing several suspension bridges, past Pangboche, where a Gompa holds the famous 'Yeti scalp'. This region lies in high altitude; therefore, agriculture is only barely possible, and the lives of the local Sherpas are Spartan by any standard. Much of the walking in this area is comparatively of gentle gradient, although a leisurely pace is recommended due to the high altitude. Upon reaching Dingboche- famously referred to as “the summer valley” of the region, you can relax and take in the mesmerizing views of the Everest peaks that tower over the village quite dramatically.

It is time for another acclimatization day. There are day hikes available to Nagarjun Hill (approx. 5050m) or Chukung village, which offers magnificent views of Amadablam, Makalu mountains & other peaks, as well as those of lakes and glaciers in that region. After spending some time at the vantage point, you will hike back down. Overnight stay at the guesthouse.

Leaving Dingboche, the trail ascends gently but still at easy pace. Walking along the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier and passes by stone memorials for climbers who have perished on nearby summits, we reach Lobuche where stone houses sit amongst icy wilderness of stunning beauty. Once in Lobuche, sense of being close to the ultimate goal overwhelms you.

The whole day of trekking to the Base Camp, and then back to Gorakshep. The trek Sirdar will navigate the Khumbu glacier as the trial makes its way to the Base Camp of Mount Everest at 5365 m, the closest you can get to Mt. Everest without mountaineering equipment. The infamous Khumbu icefall is seen imposing itself at the base of the tallest mountain on Earth. Eventually, the reverse set off descends back to Gorakshep for the night.

This will be one of the most difficult yet rewarding days of the trek. The day will start earlier than usual with the aim of reaching Kala Patthar, a small peak at 5,555 m, before sunrise, the best vantage point for viewing Everest, the highest point on the planet at 8,848 m, towers directly ahead and on all sides loom the giants such as Nuptse, Pumori, Chagatse, Lhotse and countless others. A feeling of being in unison with the mighty nature overwhelms you as you ascend to the top of Kala Patthar. The views are amazing and Everest is breath taking. Continue to descend to sandy flat expanse of Gorakshep, and then to Pheriche where overnight break is taken.

Trek down back towards to Tyangboche. The trail descends gently, crossing Dudh Koshi through wooden bridge. The trek continues downwards passing several yak herders and tea shops to Shomare. Leaving behind alpine meadows, the trail descends to Tyangboche for the night stop.

Descend to Monjo via Namche Bazaar where the trail descends steeply to Dudh Kosi river. Slightly warmer climate of Monjo greets you at this altitude.

The last day in Khumbu Region. The trail that is followed is fairly easy with some steady climbs through scrub forests with a final steep ascent that leads to a Tamang village and shortly thereafter to Lukla, where the time to relax in Sherpa ambience is abundant.

The flight back to Kathmandu is short but spectacular, bidding the Everest peaks goodbye for the last time. Rest of the day can be spent exploring, shopping or simply just chilling out in numerous cafes in Thamel before the group meets for end of the trek celebration dinner at The Rum Doodle Restaurant.

Transfer to airport by chartered vehicle.
