Welcome to Nepal. Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be received and taken to your Kathmandu hotel. The distance between the airport and the hotel is approximately 4-5 kilometers, and thus the travel is brief and comfortable.

Your guide will meet you later in the day and talk about the trek. During this meeting, you will get a preview of the journey, and you will have the opportunity to pose any questions prior to the adventure. The remainder of the day may be spent resting and getting used to your new environment. Your Everest trek will begin in Kathmandu (1,320 m / 4,331 ft).

You will begin your walk to Phakding after breakfast in Lukla. The path goes down the valley of the Dudh Koshi and reaches the village of Phakding(2,623 m / 8,606 ft).

On the way, you will pass Monjo, which is a control point to Sagarmatha National Park. Once the formalities have been taken care of, the trip proceeds to Namche Bazaar.
The trail progressively gets harder as you ascend in altitude. The biggest settlements in the trekking route are Namche Bazaar (3,440 m / 11,286 ft), also commonly referred to as the Sherpa capital of the region. The town is a major trading, tourist, and local hub.
You can take a break after reaching Namche Bazaar and take in the view and spend the night in your lodge.
This will be an acclimatization day so that your body can properly adapt to the rising altitude. Prior to further moving to Syangboche, you will be allowed to visit Namche Bazaar and see local life, stores, and markets.
Syangboche is a short yet satisfying walk. The mountain landscape around you is more impressive as you rise higher.

The path runs through Tengboche, where Tengboche Monastery, the largest monastery in the Khumbu area is situated. This is a major religious destination that is a landmark to both local people and trekkers. This serene nature of the place gives the day’s walk a special touch.
You will pass Tengboche, and you will land in either Tengboche or Debuche as your overnight destination. The environment offers a serene setting between the mountains, and it is a nice place to unwind prior to the following day’s hiking.
Today you will trek from Debuche to Dingboche. The trail proceeds to the Everest region after breakfast, and mani stones, chortens, and traditional villages are on the way. The path follows the Imja River and crosses suspension bridges and then arrives at Orsho, where the routes to both Phoriche and Dingboche part.
The path then heads southward along the Imja Valley to Dingboche, via Orsho. The landscape is becoming more open as you move further up the mountain. Dingboche is a Sherpa village which is characterized by fields and grazing yaks. It is also a point of entry for people traveling towards Ama Dablam Base Camp and Island Peak.
On reaching Dingboche (4,360 m / 14,304 ft), you will be able to relax and get ready to explore during the acclimatization day.
Today is an acclimatization day in Dingboche. You will go on a field trip to Chhukung to enable your body to acclimatize to the elevation. This is a gradual ascent that offers great altitude exposure, and you also have the opportunity to spend the night back in Dingboche.
Previously, Chhukung was primarily used as pasture land to keep the yaks and other domestic animals. It has gained popularity with trekkers and climbers in recent years as a stop on their way to Island Peak. The excursion allows you to have a look at the surrounding Himalayan landscape, and then you can go back to Dingboche.
The day is meant to facilitate safe acclimatization and keep you on the go at higher altitudes. Once the excursion is completed, you will come back to your lodge and have one more night in Dingboche.
Today you are going to trek from Dingboche to Lobuche. The trail leaves Dingboche and slowly ascends the higher parts of the Everest area. You will be able to view the surrounding mountains all through the day.
The path takes you to Thukla, where you will have lunch. Along this location, there are memorials of climbers who died on Mount Everest. These memorials are an important reminder of the challenges faced in the high Himalayas.
The trail goes on after Thukla through more rugged terrain before arriving at Lobuche. One of the last places of settlement before the Everest Base Camp is Lobuche, which is situated at (4,930 m / 16,175 ft). The night can be used to rest and gear up for the big days.

After this visit, you will work your way back to Gorak Shep, where you will spend the night. The day will be a mix of difficult trekking and the reward of having arrived at one of the best-known trekking sites in the world.
In the morning, you will hike to Kala Patthar, which is commonly known to be amongst the best perspectives of the Everest region. It is the highest elevation attained in the trek without a climbing permit, and is found at (5,545 m / 18,192 ft).
Mount Everest, Khumbu Glacier, Khumbu Icefall, Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, Pumori and other mountain ranges can be viewed panoramically, as far as the summit area is concerned. These are some of the most memorable moments of the trip since the sunrise is seen behind Kala Patthar.
Upon taking time and being at the point of view, you will get down and resume walking to Pheriche. The reduced altitude is more comfortable to rest after a few days at high altitude.
You will trek today from Pheriche to Debuche or Tengboche. This will be the start of the trip back to the Base Camp in Everest. This path is the same as the one that was taken on the way up, and you can observe the same scenery in a new way.
During the descent, this gradual loss of altitude can be very comfortable and make the walk more comfortable. The path leads back to Debuche as it follows through the mountain scenery that has been with you all along the trek.
When you arrive at your destination, you will relax in your lodge and have a relaxing evening. The low altitude is a relief to rest and resume the trip back to Lukla.
You will trek from Debuche to Monjo. You will proceed in the same direction as the approach trail that you took earlier in the trek on your way back but through Khumbu Region.
The downward slope is usually less challenging in terms of altitude, but sustained downward movements may strain the knees and feet. It is advisable to maintain a constant and comfortable rhythm during the day. As you descend, the landscape becomes slowly altered, and the air becomes increasingly thick.
At nightfall, you will reach Monjo and stay there. The settlement is a key (stop) in the Everest trekking trail and is another step towards Lukla.
This is the last day of the trek. You will trek back to Lukla from Monjo. The path cuts across green fields and townships as you head back to the point where you started this trek.
Here is a nice chance to look back on the experiences that we had during the last two weeks as we use the last hours on the trail. When you come close to Lukla, the feeling of achievement is even greater, as the trip to the Everest Base Camp is almost over.
