👉: Upon landing at Tribhuvan International Airport, proceed to the immigration office to obtain your Nepal entry visa. Make sure all visa requirements are prepared in advance.

 Our team will meet you outside the terminal and transfer you to your hotel. You’ll receive a brief briefing about the next day’s plan and be asked to submit any necessary documents to our staff.

👉: Finalise permits and logistics, complete document checks, and conduct a full gear inspection. Attend a detailed briefing on the expedition itinerary, stage durations, accommodation, base camp facilities, and key climb details.

👉: 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 to 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 Gorakshep is a rewarding hike through stunning high-altitude terrain. The trail gradually ascends past rocky landscapes and glacial moraine, offering breathtaking views of towering peaks like Pumori and Nuptse. Gorakshep (5,180 m/16,995 ft) serves as the final stop before Everest Base Camp, where you can rest and prepare for the next day’s adventure.

👉: The expedition progresses towards Khangri Shar Base Camp. Situated on a plateau near a glacial lake at the foot west of Pumori Base Camp, this high-altitude camp offers unrivalled panoramic vistas of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and the surrounding Himalayan giants.

👉: The following days are critical for acclimatisation at Base Camp. This period allows your body to adjust to the high altitude in preparation for the summit push. Key activities include:

_______________________________

 Rotation Climbs to Camp II (6479m): These progressive ascents enhance technical climbing skills and provide valuable experience on the mountain.

Glacier Travel Techniques Training: This comprehensive training covers rope fixing, safe ascending and descending techniques, and essential glacier travel protocols.

Refresher Sessions on Abseiling and Belaying: These sessions ensure proficiency in essential climbing manoeuvres for a safe and efficient ascent.

Acclimatisation Hikes: Short hikes in the surrounding areas further enhance physical conditioning for the summit climb.

👉: Following successful acclimatisation and training, the expedition progresses to Camp 1. The route traverses the tongue of the JAC Glacier, followed by an ascent up a lateral moraine slope leading to a rock wall. Camp 1 is established on a glacier plateau at approximately 6000 meters. You’ll spend the night in high-altitude tents enjoying pre-prepared meals by the expedition cooks.

👉: After spending the night at Camp 1, climbers make a gradual ascent to Camp 2, located at 6,497 meters in a col. This climb takes about 4–5 hours.

👉: Summit day arrives! An early start begins with breakfast around 4:00 AM. The climb from Camp 2 to the summit of Khangri Shar (6792m) is generally considered less technically challenging than the preceding sections. While initial sections might be cold, the ascent up the glacier and a unique ridge will gradually warm you. The summit push takes approximately 4-5 hours, and the reward is a breathtaking panorama encompassing Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Cholatse, and many more Himalayan giants. Savour the moment at the summit before descending back to Camp 1 for the night.

👉: A safe descent is made back to Base Camp today. Our commitment to responsible travel principles includes cleaning all waste around the camp before departing for the trek back to Lukla.

👉: Descending from Kangri Shar Base Camp, you’ll pass Gorakshep and Lobuche before reaching Pherutse. Enjoy breathtaking mountain views and experience the warm Sherpa culture along the way.

👉: We start the day with an early morning hike to Kala Patthar, where we are treated to panoramic views of Mount Everest and the surrounding peaks as the sun rises. After enjoying the stunning scenery, we descend back to Gorak Shep and continue our trek down to Pheriche. The descent offers a refreshing change of pace, as we leave the high-altitude landscapes behind and make our way to Pheriche for a well-earned rest.

👉: Today, we trek from Pheriche to Namche Bazaar, descending through the beautiful valleys of the Khumbu region. The trail offers stunning views of Ama Dablam and other peaks as we pass through the villages of Pangboche and Tengboche. As we descend further, we cross suspension bridges and lush forests, eventually reaching Namche Bazaar, where we can relax and reflect on the journey through the Everest region.

👉: Fly to Munthali with a 20-minute scenic flight, offering stunning aerial views of the landscape. Upon arrival, enjoy a short drive back to Kathmandu, where you can relax and unwind after your trek, reflecting on the incredible adventure in the Himalayas. The drive back provides a final opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the region before concluding your journey.

👉: Generally, you need 3 hours before your flight time to get to the Kathmandu airport in Nepal. So you transfer to the Kathmandu airport for your flight to your destination.
