After an early morning hotel pickup, you’ll be driven to the domestic airport for a scenic 30–35 minute flight to Lukla. (Flights may depart from Ramechhap Airport depending on seasonal regulations, requiring a 4hour drive from Kathmandu.) Weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, so delays are common, but on clear days, expect incredible aerial views of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and other giants.

Upon landing in Lukla, enjoy breakfast while the team prepares for the day. The trek kicks off with a gentle warmup walk toward Phakding. We pass through Pasang Lhamu Memorial Gate, collect permits at the first checkpoint, and begin navigating a mix of rocky trails, swinging suspension bridges, and scenic hillside paths. We’ll walk through villages like Chheplung and stop for lunch at Thado Koshigaon. Another brief stop in Ghat, then we end the day in Phakding, a peaceful riverside village nestled in alpine woods. After tea and check-in, dinner is served, followed by a short briefing.

We continue north, following the Dudh Koshi River through Toktok and Monjo. We’ll check in at the Sagarmatha National Park gate and stop for lunch at Larja Dobhan. After crossing the Hillary Bridge, prepare for a challenging 3hour climb to Namche Bazaar. The final approach offers views of the Dudh Koshi and traditional prayer wheels spun by water. Upon arrival, Namche’s vibrant village life and expansive facilities offer comfort, culture, and convenience. A briefing follows dinner.

Today is for altitude adjustment and local exploration. After breakfast, we hike to Everest View Hotel (3,880m), a superb viewpoint for Everest, Ama Dablam, and more. On the way back, we stop at Sagarmatha Next (Syangboche), a sustainability center promoting waste management education and ecofriendly travel.

Surrounded by Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam, this sacred site offers a blend of spiritual serenity and epic mountain views. After dinner, we prepare for the next day with a detailed briefing.

We ascend Nagarjun Hill (approx. 4,800m) after breakfast, navigating steep rocky paths for several hours. The summit rewards us with sweeping views of Makalu, Island Peak, and surrounding mountains. The afternoon is free for rest, gear checks, or laundry. Meals are at the lodge; the evening briefing prepares us for the next stage.

Today we take the quieter trail toward Chukhung. The path gently climbs through isolated terrain where the trail splits from the EBC route. Chukhung is a quiet outpost surrounded by towering peaks like Makalu, Lhotse, and Baruntse. Lunch and dinner are provided at the lodge, with an early night encouraged ahead of a major ascent.

An early start takes us over the highest of the three passes. The trail follows Kongma Glacier and a steep ascent past Kongma La Lake. As we climb, breathtaking views of Mera Peak, Pokalde, and Everest unfold. After crossing the pass, we begin a steep descent to the Khumbu Glacier, eventually arriving in Lobuche for rest and recovery. This is one of the toughest days of the trek.

We trek through moraine and glacier paths to Gorak Shep, drop our bags, and continue to Everest Base Camp. The trail hugs the Khumbu Glacier, offering incredible views of Everest, Nuptse, and the Icefall. After celebrating our achievement at the iconic EBC rock, we return to Gorak Shep for dinner and an early night.

We wake early to summit Kala Patthar for a golden sunrise over Everest and panoramic views of the Khumbu region. After returning to Gorak Shep for breakfast, we descend to Lobuche and then take the trail to Dzongla, a peaceful grazing area between two passes. Views of Cholatse Lake and Ama Dablam make this a spectacular day.

Today’s steep ascent takes us across glacial terrain and icy sections up to Cho La Pass. Crampons may be required depending on conditions. At the top, prayer flags flutter above sweeping views of the Everest region. A careful descent leads us to Thangnak, a quiet settlement with closeup views of Cho Oyu.

We trek through a barren landscape and cross the Ngozumpa Glacier, the longest in Nepal, to reach the lakeside village of Gokyo. Before descending to the village, you’ll catch your first view of its turquoise lakes from a ridgeline. We spend the night in this high altitude oasis, resting for the day ahead.

This is a rest or active recovery day. For those feeling strong, the early morning climb to Gokyo Ri offers an unmatched 360° view of Everest, Makalu, Lhotse, and Cho Oyu. Later, enjoy free time to explore the sacred lakes or simply relax and refuel

We start early for our final pass: Renjo La. The climb is steep but richly rewarding, with sweeping views of Everest and the Rolwaling Range from the summit. The descent includes loose rock and stairs, passing scenic glacial lakes before reaching Marlung, a peaceful Sherpa village with cultural depth and spiritual roots.

We make our way back to Namche via Thame, Thamo, and Phurte, enjoying forested trails, riverside views, and local village life. After days in remote terrain, Namche feels like a return to civilization, with its warm food, hot showers, and lively atmosphere.

We retrace our path along the Dudh Koshi, checking out at Monjo and savoring our final day on the trail. The journey back is perfect for reflection, laughter, and gratitude. We celebrate with dinner in Lukla and bid farewell to our porter team.

We boarded an early flight back to the capital. Once in Kathmandu, you’re free to rest or explore the city at your own pace. The remainder of the day is yours—a chance to unwind, indulge, or relive the memories of your Himalayan journey.
