Today we explore Kathmandu on an organized sightseeing tour. This will include a visit to the world’s largest Buddhist pilgrimage site, Boudha Nath Stupa. We also visit Pashupatinath, home to the country’s most famous Hindu temple, situated on the banks of the sacred Bagmati River. Here we will see Hindu holy men (sadhus) and pilgrims taking a ritual bath, and occasionally, pyres on the ghats. The cremation ground here is also used for the royal family and commoners living nearby. Your afternoon will be free to relax in the hotel garden or visit Thamel for some exciting shopping. You will be given your trek departure orientation in the afternoon by our senior guide.

After breakfast, we take flight from Kathmandu to Lukla at 2860m. The airstrip, built by Sir Edmund Hillary and the Sherpas in the mid-1960s, has a flight time of about 35 minutes. After landing we will have time to explore the village while the porter team loads the trekking equipment in order. Then, we start the trek, and where we go to the main trail of Namche Bazar above Chowrikhark. We descend to Dudhkoshi river. The walk is easy and after passing the small village on the ghat it is a short walk to Phakding where we will stay for the night.

Today we leave Phakding and go to Namche market. Trekking along the Dudhkoshi River, and crossing suspension bridges, we pass through lush Himalayan forests of rhododendron, pine and juniper to reach Monjo Village. And then we enter Everest National Park to go to EBC. And our guide will take care of every permit needed to enter the park. After entering the park, we cross two suspension bridges on our way to Namche Bazaar. And we climbed steeply for 2 hours to reach Namche and finally we reached Namche market. Namche Bazaar offers a panoramic view of Mount Everest (8848.86 m), Lhotse (8516 m) and Thamserku (6623 m). En route and overnight at Namche Bazar Lodge.

We spend the second night in Namche to create an environment suitable for high altitude. Namche is a prosperous village, situated on a large protected moat. After breakfast, there are several options: climb the beautiful Bhotekhola river valley towards Thame (3810 m), or visit the National Park headquarters to see interesting displays of Sherpa lifestyle and culture. There are mountaineering demonstrations and descriptions of the park’s flora and fauna. Your guides will be there to advise and help you along the way. And in the evening we also explore the market town of Namche. And overnight at the lodge.

Instead of following the usual standard itinerary, we plan a trip from Namche to Dingboche to create a good atmosphere and visit hidden valleys. The route to Khumjung and Fortse is shorter than the standard route. We have a 3.4 hour walk to Khumjung via Everest View Hotel.

The next day we were on our way to Fortsey on the Low Trowden route. Fortse is also a village called Mount Everest Summit. This is the only village in the area to climb the highest mountain in the Everest region. If you want to visit, there is also a newly built climbing center in Fortsey. Consult your guide for the tour. Khumjung to Phortse 4/5 hours walk.

Today we walk through some chortens, gem walls, and some small villages, then we taste our food on the way as we enjoy some more views of Amdablum above. We trek through Pangboche to the highest point of the true permanent settlements of the valley and reach the regular settlement on the way to Dingboche, the biggest climb of the day. The main occupation of the locals of Dingboche is agriculture. We can see fields surrounded by stone walls at Dingboche. Wheat, potato, and barley are the major crops of the Himalayas.

Climb up to Nagartsang Peak and sleep down Dingboche!! This is a day to relax without being inactive. Our trek to Nagartsang Peak (5,083 m) adds to our immateriality and when we climb it, we soon realize that the dreaded climb was worth it. It helps to adapt to higher altitudes, then return to Dingboche for a free afternoon to relax. It helps a lot in the heights of Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar.

From Dingboche, we will cross some teahouses in Dugla, climb the dangerous moraine of the Khumbu Glacier, and cross a series of stone monuments in memory of the Sherpas who lost their lives in the mountains. On the side of the valley. It is an amazing view to watch the sunset in Nuptse from this point. The wind and cold are a bit longer here than in Dingboche. Walking time is 6/7 hours.

Getting to Everest Base Camp requires a real early start. It takes several hours as the trail weaves its way past the icy peaks and holes of the Khumbu Glacier. After a short lunch and rest, we drive to Everest Base Camp via the once huge Gorak Shep Lake. We truly appreciate the Everest climbers who trek the perilous route through the Khumbu Icefall only after reaching Everest Base Camp. The climber’s tents stand out in bright colors against the monotony of the gray surroundings (especially in spring). Nuptse, Khumbuste, and Pumori mountains can be seen from the base camp. On the return leg, we can take the high road for a magnificent view of the Khumbu Icefall and the route to the South Col. And we return to Gorakshep. One night stays here.

Today is the most important part of our journey. Seeing the first light of day on Everest, we start our trek at 4 am to see the dramatic views from Kalapatta. However, we should prepare in advance for the early morning, dark and cold temperatures (-10 to -14C) departure. Also, there is always the possibility of cold winds which are very common. However, to the east, familiar peaks such as Lingtran, Khumbutse, and Changtse Towers can be seen between the West Bank and Nuptse Peak. While climbing the black stone, we can take our last breath at many great views by clicking pictures. After a few hours of climbing we reach Kalapathar. From here, we climb a rocky outcrop near the summit marked by cairns and prayer flags. When we reach the top, we sit on black rocks and our eyes take in incredible Himalayan views, rolling from one mighty massif to another. We take as many pictures as possible from our camera so that they last a lifetime. After this we slowly descend back to Feriche. For a good night’s rest that we really deserve. happens.

Today, we return to the standard road to Namche Bazaar via Pangboche and Tengboche. Again the view of the mountains is breathtaking. The panoramic views of the Himalayas from Kanjuma are unreal, Ama Dablam in front of you. There we rest for lunch and another 1:30 hour walk from Kanjuma to Namche market for Namche.

Today, from Namche Bazar, we are crossing the river Dudhkoshi and trekking to Lukla. From Namche, it’s a steep descent for a few hours and then it’s a gradual trek along the Dudh Koshi river. We will reach Lukla by making the final climb to Lukla airstrip. And the rest of the day is free and you can relax in the warm sun and reflect on the emotional experiences we had while walking through these great mountains that helped us rediscover ourselves in the least expected way. On these majestic mountains. So today we will celebrate the successful completion of our trek during dinner with our Sherpa guides and porters who will all be happy to end this wonderful journey with a happy ending. Then we fell into a blissful sleep.

We get up early in the morning, enjoy our b/fast & get ready for the arrival of our aircraft for the flight back to Kathmandu. On our touchdown at the Kathmandu airport, you will be transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. The rest of your day is free to do your own things.
