👉: When you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, you must follow a few formal requirements to receive the Nepal entry visa at the immigration office. Our office representatives will welcome you outside the terminal hall and transfer you to the hotel. Brief you about tomorrow’s activities and collect any documents our office requires.

👉: On the second day, we will complete all necessary formalities, such as obtaining the required paperwork, permits, and other documentation needed for our expedition, and we will begin making preparations for it. There will be briefings covering every aspect of the expedition, including gear and equipment, trip duration, lodging options, base camp facilities, and other relevant details. This day also provides an opportunity to interact with and get to know your climbing companions and team members.”

👉: We take an early morning flight to Lukla, where all Everest region treks begin. Once you arrive in Lukla, have breakfast at the lodge and prepare your luggage for the porters. The trek to Phakding begins with some ups and downs, along with numerous prayer rocks (Mani, in the local language). After settling into your lodge in Phakding, you can take a short walk to explore the village.

👉: Our trail passes through a pine forest as we continue walking north along the Benkar Valley. We cross the Dudh Koshi River and pass through the villages of Chumoa and Monjo before reaching the entrance of Everest National Park. After crossing a suspension bridge, we pass through Jorsale village and walk alongside the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers. Finally, we ascend a steep trail to reach Namche Bazaar, the largest town in the Everest region.

👉: We can explore Namche Bazaar, the main town of the Everest or Khumbu region. A hike to the Everest View Hotel offers breathtaking views of the sunrise over the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kongde, and more. For those interested in a day hike, we can trek to Khumjung village. Additionally, we will visit the Hillary School and a monastery that houses a yeti’s scalp.

👉:  The trek until Phunki Thanga is relatively easy. From there, we ascend towards Tengboche village, home to the renowned Tengboche Monastery, the largest monastery in the Everest region. The monastery offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku. If we arrive by 3 o’clock, we can witness a Buddhist religious ceremony.

👉: Our trail descends through lush forests of birch and rhododendron trees. From Tengboche, we walk downhill to Debuche and cross the Imja River to reach Pangboche. We take the upper Pangboche trail, admiring the Himalayan vista and the Pangboche Monastery. We continue our walk to the Imja Valley and Lobuche River before ascending to Dingboche.

👉: Spend a day in Dingboche to allow your body to adjust to the higher altitude. This rest day is essential for acclimatisation, helping to prevent altitude sickness and ensuring you’re well-prepared for the more challenging hikes ahead. In the afternoon, consider a short hike to a higher elevation, such as Nangkartsang Peak (5,083 m), to further support the acclimatisation process and take in breathtaking mountain views. Afterwards, return to Dingboche for a restful night, ready and recharged for the next stage of your trek.

👉: The trail from Dingboche (4,410m) to Lobuche (4,940m) takes you through alpine meadows and rocky terrain, offering stunning views of peaks like Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Everest, and Island Peak. The route begins with a steady ascent through open terrain and switchbacks, with rocky and dry conditions and sparse vegetation. After completing the steep section, you’ll encounter the memorial stupas dedicated to climbers and trekkers who have lost their lives on Everest over the years. As you near Lobuche, the trail becomes less steep, leading to breathtaking views of the Khumbu Glacier and the surrounding snow-capped mountains.

👉:  The trek from Lobuche to Pumori Base Camp is a beautiful and rewarding route, taking around 5-6 hours to complete. As you walk along the trail, you follow the iconic Khumbu Glacier, a key feature of the Everest region. Along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of some of the most famous mountains in the world, including Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam.

👉:  We start with a gentle trek around Base Camp or short hikes to 5,500m for altitude adjustment, then return to rest. The next day, we focus on training, learning snow and ice skills like using ice axes, crampons, and rope techniques. Afterwards, we take a rest day for acclimatisation to prevent overexertion. Guides conduct a full equipment check and make any necessary gear adjustments. Finally, during the acclimatisation rotation, we climb to Camp 1 (6,000m), spend a few hours there, and then descend back to Base Camp to recover and fully acclimatise.

👉: The route becomes steeper as you approach Camp I. The terrain is more technical, with sections of ice and snow, making it necessary to use crampons and ice axes. The climb is challenging but manageable with proper acclimatisation and equipment.

Camp one: The climb to Camp 1 (6200m) takes 4-6 hours. This camp is located on a rocky terrain with some wind and ice features.

Camp two: Camp 2 (6500m) is even windier and colder. The ascent takes 4-5 hours from Camp 1 and requires ropes due to crevasses and ice walls.

👉:  Summit Push begins early with a 4 am wake-up for breakfast. The climb to the summit (7,145m) takes 4-5 hours and involves a steep final section. After enjoying the views from the top, you’ll descend back to Camp I and then continue back to Base Camp. The final push to the summit involves a demanding ascent, where climbers will navigate sections of ice and rock.

👉: We will descend back to Base Camp, where, as responsible travellers, we will take the necessary steps to clean up any waste around the camp. After ensuring the area is pristine, we’ll prepare for our journey back to Kathmandu.
