After breakfast, we will be escorted to the domestic terminal of Kathmandu airport for an early morning flight to Lukla (2,800 m/9,186 ft), a gateway destination from where our trek begins. After an adventurous 40 minute flight above the breathtaking green and white mountains, we reach the Tenzing-Hillary Airport at Lukla. This is one of the most beautiful air routes in the world culminating in a dramatic landing on a hillside surrounded by high mountains peaks. Upon arrival at Lukla, we meet our other crew members and after some packing and arrangements, we start our trek through the prosperous village of Lukla until we reach Phakding. To assist in acclimatization, we only have a short hike today. However, if interested in additional activities we can take a side trip to a nearby monastery.

This is controlled only by Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) and beyond any reasonable control of any organizer.

Day 03 : Phakding to Namche (3440 m.)

After breakfast in Phakding, we commence our trek to Namche Bazaar.The trail follows the right bank of the Dudh Koshi river. Today we will enter the Sagarmatha National Park, a conservation area that encompasses the entire Khumbu region. You will also get views of Mt. Thamserku, Everest (8848m) and Lhotse (8516m.). After a steep two hour climb, you will reach Namche Bazaar, which is surrounded on three sides by mountain ranges. Namche is a central hub of the Everest area and also a major trading village for food, trekking gears and other necessary goods. From historical time till today, Tibetans make the arduous journey crossing the Nangpala pass to trade in Namche.

Day 04: Acclimatization day in Namche

Acclimatization is important before proceeding higher. This is the first of two specific acclimatization days that everyone should build into their trek schedule. You can spend the day by taking a day hike to Thami village, by visiting Khunde or Khumjung, or by relaxing and exploring Namche Bazaar.

Day 05: Namche to Tengboche (3837 m.)

Upon breakfast in Namche, we set out towards Tengboche, enjoying superb view of Mt. Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Ama Dablam and close up view of Thamserku. Our trek follows more or less smooth trail with few ups and downs which will not bother us as the magnificent view of the Himalayas keeps our company all through the journey. Along the way, we can spot wildlife musk deer, a herd of Himalayan Thar and multicolored pheasants. The trail goes gradually down up to Kayangjuma. The path eventually reaches Sansa, which is the major trail junction to Gokyo valley and Everest Base Camp. The track then follows through the pine forests and after we cross the prayer flags festooned bridge over the Dudh Koshi River, we reach Phunki Thenga, a small settlement with a couple of teahouses and a small army post amidst the alpine woods. After having a relaxed lunch at Phunki Thenga, we gear up for a slightly tougher climb through the pine forests before we reach Tengboche. Tengboche is a great place for close up views of Mt Ama Dablam, Mt Nuptse, and Mt Everest, and it has the biggest Buddhist Monastery of the Khumbu region. We pay our visit to the monastery the same day at around 3 pm to witness the ceremony in the principal and popular monastery of Everest region. Overnight stay at a lodge at Tengboche.

Day 06: Tengboche to Dingboche (4350 m.)

With mountains at its backdrop, the monastery at Tengboche looks more spectacular in the morning. At this juncture, we can take pictures of the monastery and the scenery around and as usual start the day journey. We choose the upper trail for better views on the way to Pangboche village. We pass through several Chortens and Mani walls and small villages. The place where we stop for lunch not only serves delicious food but also allows a fantastic close-up view of Mt Ama Dablam. In the afternoon, we walk north to Pheriche or take the eastward trail beneath the towering north face of Mt Ama Dablam. From here onwards, the walk is fairly moderate as we enter the Imja Valley. The valley gradually unfolds as we approach the confluence of the Lobuche River. We descend into the river and begin the last and steepest climb of the day up to Dingboche. On arrival at Dingboche, we will see beautiful array of fields enclosed by stone walls to protect barley, buckwheat and potatoes from the cold winds and grazing animals. Overnight at Dingboche.

Day 07: Acclimatization Day in Dingboche (4350 m )

Day 09: Lobuche to Everest base camp(5364 m.) and to Gorakshep (5160 m.)

The trail is pretty easy to start with other than the fact we will be height almost at 5000m. We then started to gradually ascend following the Khumbu glacier up the valley to Lobuche pass. Then there was a steep section then a series of rocky and icy ups and downs. As the sun began to rise, its rays quickly warmed us up, allowing us to move a bit more freely when taking on the next rocky scramble. A short descent brought us to Gorakshep (5160 m.) which is the last village before base camp and our highest sleeping altitude of the trek. Early morning we walk to Everest Base Camp, visit base camp area and walk down to Lobuche. From the Everest Base Camp you can see the north face of Mt. Everest, the famous Khumbu Ice Fall, Lhotse and Nuptse.
