Trip Itinerary

On arrival in Kathmandu, you are met by our representative, who will transport you to your hotel in the heart of Kathmandu for the night.

You have a scenic flight of 30–35 minutes to Lukla (2800 m) from Kathmandu. In Lukla, you can see the airline office and numerous lodges. The trail from Lukla leads you to Chablung (2700), and it descends steeply to the Tharo Kosi, which is also known as Kusum Kangru Khola (river). Beyond the Tharo Kosi Bridge, the trail climbs to Ghat (2590) and again climbs to Phadking. In Phadking, you can climb to the gompa to see your first view of the high peaks. Now you will really feel like you have arrived in the Himalayan Kingdom.

From Phadking, the trail follows the Dudh Koshi River and reaches Zamphuti. From here, you can see excellent views of Thamserku peak. Then the trail climbs to Chomoa, the site of an agricultural project—an interesting place to have a look around and gain an insight into the farming way of life of these people. From Chomoa, the trail again climbs to Monjo (2840 m) and enters the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park (1148 sq km, established in 1976). After walking some distance uphill, you will be at Jorsale (2830  m), and after a long climb with views of Mt. Everest peeking over the ridge of Nuptse (7879  m), the trail reaches the street of Namche Bazaar.

After having breakfast, take some time to do some sightseeing around Namche Bazaar. Then you can hike to the Everest View Hotel, the ideal place to overview some of the outstanding mountains such as Mt.

In Namche Bazaar, you can spend some time interacting with the fun-loving Sherpa and Rai people. In Namche, above the police checkpoint, you will see Sagarmatha National Park headquarters, and if you want to look at the visitor center, it is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., except on Saturdays and holidays. Spend the night at the Guest House.

From Namche Bazaar, the trail climbs up and down to Sanasa, where the trail descends gradually to Teshinga and then drops steeply to Phunki Thanga. Climbing two hours from Phunki Thanga, you will reach Tengboche. Tengboche is a religious place for the Sherpa people and the entire Solukhumbu area. Here you will see the Tengboche Monastery, which is one of the oldest monasteries in Nepal. Maybe you can get a chance to see the monks chanting and singing.

From Tengboche, you will reach the tiny village of Devuche, and after climbing some magnificently carved stones, you will be at Pangboche (3860 m). Walking the lower route from Pangboche and entering the alpine meadow, you will be at Shomara. The trail then passes to Orsho. Beyond Orso, the route divides to reach Dingboche or Pheriche (4240 m). Pheriche is the windiest place in the Khumbu area, and here you will find the Health Post and Himalayan Rescue Association. Lunch, dinner, and breakfast will be served at the guesthouse.

The trail ascends from Pheriche/Debouche, and after crossing some bridges, you will reach Duglha. From Duglha, the trail steeply goes up to the Khumbu glacier and drops a bit to the valley of Lobuche (4930 m). Lunch, dinner, and breakfast will be served at the guesthouse.
