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 acclimatization, 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 acclimatization process and take in breathtaking mountain views. Afterward, 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.

👉: We trek along the stunning Khumbu Glacier from Lobuche to Everest Base Camp, gradually approaching the foot of the world’s tallest peak. Along the way, we are treated to breathtaking panoramic views of towering mountains such as Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam, among many others. The awe-inspiring vistas make every step worthwhile as we reach the legendary base camp, standing in the shadow of these majestic giants.

👉: At our base camp, we dedicate several nights to proper acclimatization, ensuring your body adapts before advancing to higher camps. Our approach includes one or two rotation climbs to Camp III, giving climbers the opportunity to adjust to altitude and conditions before the final push to the summit of Everest.

To maximize safety and efficiency, we provide thorough climbing training through the Khumbu Icefall, which includes essential techniques such as glacier travel, walking on fix line rope, and the proper methods for both ascending and descending. You will also learn critical safety procedures, including abseiling, belaying, and the effective use of supplemental oxygen—along with the correct application of the oxygen mask and regulator. This comprehensive preparation ensures that you are fully equipped to face the challenges of this extreme environment.

👉:  After 4–5 days of acclimatization, practice, and rotation, we will embark on the challenging ascent to Camp 1. This marks a essential moment in our journey, as we cross the treacherous Khumbu Icefall, navigating its perilous crevasses. Upon reaching Camp 1 at 6,000 meters, we’ll settle into our secure, high-altitude tents. The night will be spent under the stars, surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Himalayas, while we enjoy hot, nourishing meals prepared by our experienced cooks. This marks the beginning of the final phase of our expedition, where every step forward brings us closer to our ultimate goal.

👉: After staying overnight at Camp 1, we gradually ascend towards Camp 2, which is situated at 6,400 meters. The walk from Camp 1 to Camp 2 takes about 3 to 4 hours. The climb involves crossing the western side, a gently rising valley marked by large crevasses in the center, which prevent direct access to the upper part of the Cwm. While at Camp 2 (for 2–3 nights), we will hike up to the West Shoulder. This period will help us avoid altitude sickness by spending a few days at a higher altitude, allowing our bodies to acclimatize.

👉:  Day 21: Climb to Camp III (7,200 meters). After spending two nights in Camp II (6,400 meters), climbers ascend to Camp III. Climbing to Camp III and then returning to a lower camp (Camp II, around 6,400 meters) helps climbers improve their ability to adapt to lower oxygen levels. This ascent allows climbers to become familiar with the terrain, route, and conditions at higher elevations.

👉:  After long hikes and challenging climbs, it’s essential for our bodies to recover. To aid this process, we will descend to Base Camp, which lies at a significantly lower elevation, after spending the night in Camp II. These ascents and descents play a crucial role in our acclimatization to the Himalayas, allowing our bodies to adapt to the high altitudes and prepare for the ultimate ascent.

👉: Before ascending to the summit, we allotted a few days for full rest. For this, we may either fly back to Kathmandu or descend back to Namche to relax at a comfortable lodge (for those who can afford it). Our expedition leaders and the crew will assess the weather while at rest to determine when to make the final summit push. When everything appears to be in our favor, we will get ready to go back to Base Camp. Those who decide to take a break in Kathmandu can either use a helicopter or stay at Base Camp. Our teams and climbing sherpas will build higher camps at Camp IV during these respite periods in preparation for the summit push.

We return to Base Camp and get ready for the success we will achieve during the next three days. final briefing on the everyday camp and Everest summit push. The equipment of the expedition members will be checked by the expedition leaders to make sure everything is ready for our upcoming expedition.

👉:  Today’s objective is a return ascent to Camp Two at 6,400 meters. Having already acclimatized and passed through this section, you can expect a more efficient climb than the first. Having passed Camp I at 6,000 meters and the Khumbu Glacier, we will eventually arrive at Camp II after crossing challenging crevasses. To reach the top half of the CWM, one must first pass the Western CWM, a gradually ascending valley with a large chasm in the middle blocking access.

👉: After a night of rest at Camp II, we will ascend to Camp III, navigating a challenging route of ice and snow. The path will be secured with fixed ropes by our skilled Sherpa climbers, providing safety and guidance. At higher altitudes, we will begin using oxygen cylinders to aid in the climb. It’s essential that everyone stays safe, remains within the group, and communicates frequently throughout the ascent.

Upon reaching Camp III, we will settle into a comfortable tented camp, where you can rest and recover. The meals provided will be of the highest caliber, ensuring that we have the energy needed for the remaining part of the climb.

👉: Camp 4, or the South Col, at 7,900 meters, is the last resting point before the summit push on Everest. Climbers reach it by passing through the Yellow Band and Geneva Spur from Camp 3, a challenging 9–10-hour climb. At the South Col, they rest for 5-7 hours to prepare for the final ascent. After the rest, climbers typically begin their summit push at night, and aiming to summit in the early morning. They then descend to lower camps (usually Camp 3) on the same day to avoid spending another night at extreme altitude.

👉: From Camp 4, climbers set out on the final, grueling ascent to the summit of Mount Everest. This critical stretch typically takes between 8-12 hours, depending on the climber’s pace, weather conditions, and physical conditioning. The climb begins in the early hours of the night, with climbers leaving Camp 4 and heading towards the South Col.

After passing the Balcony and reaching the South Summit, climbers face the final challenge: scaling the Hillary Step. If conditions allow, they will finally reach the summit of Everest at 8,848.86 meters. However, the summit is just the halfway point. After briefly celebrating their achievement, climbers must immediately descend to lower camps (camp 2 or camp 3) to minimize the risks associated with prolonged exposure at extreme altitudes.

👉: We will descend back to Base Camp, where, as responsible travelers, 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.
