Upon arrival, our representative will greet you and transport you to your hotel, where your first permission will be issued. In the evening, you may go to Thamel Street, which is a famous hangout. There are several restaurants, casinos, and shops where you may purchase hiking equipment and accessories.

After breakfast, we’ll fly to Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan Domestic Airport. We’ll board a plane to Lukla. The flight is 35 minutes long in total. Flying this route will be one of your most memorable experiences.

The walk will take you through a number of little communities and lush green mountains. Staying at a Tea House or Mountain Lodge for the night

We will hike to Namche Bazaar today. Namche is 3,440 metres above sea level. Huge green mountain ranges surround the path. The Dudh Koshi river runs beside the road until it reaches Namche. We’ll eat lunch at Monjo because it’s the final place to acquire food until Namche. The track between Monjo and Namche is a gentle ascent through dense green woodland. Just before Namche, you’ll catch a sight of Everest and Lhotse, albeit it won’t be very distinct. Monjo will be challenging following a segment of the trip, which will take 6 to 7 hours with a moderate difficulty rating. Staying at a Tea House/Mountain Lodge for the night.

This is an acclimatisation day, and we’ll spend it at Namche Bazaar. It’s a location with everything a person might want. Coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and a variety of other activities are available. You may visit the Namche Museum, which is roughly a 20-minute climb above Namche Bazaar. From here, you get a clear view of Everest and Lhotse. The Namche Bazaar (Market) and Namche Monastery are also worth seeing. Staying at a Tea House/Mountain Lodge for the night.

Tengboche is a tiny valley at 3,860 metres above sea level. It’s one of the most picturesque spots on our entire walk. The Tengboche Monastery is a well-known and picturesque location that is well worth a visit. The hike will take around 6 to 7 hours and will be somewhat strenuous. Staying at a Tea House/Mountain Lodge for the night.

We will begin our walk today and go towards Pangboche village, where we will be treated to some spectacular views of Mount Ama Dablam. Lunch will most likely be at Pangboche. After that, we’ll hike to Pheriche and then to the Imja Valley. We will be able to observe the Lobuche River and will cross through it on our way to Dingboche, which will be a tough walk. The hike will take around 5 to 6 hours, and while it will be mostly moderate, there will be two strong inclines. Staying at a Tea House/Mountain Lodge for the night.

Today is going to be a day of acclimatisation. We may go on a short trip to see Mount Lhotse, Mount Makalu, and Mount Cho Yu, the world’s three highest mountain peaks. Aside from these, there are more peaks and mountain ranges to be seen. Staying at a Tea House/Mountain Lodge for the night.

We will begin our walk today towards Lobuche, which is located next to the Khumbu glacier. As we go to Dughla Pass/ Thukla Pass, the first half of the journey would be challenging. The climb from Dhughla/Thukla is short but steep. The pass is littered with tributes to mountaineers. There are several tributes to great mountaineers who died in various missions. We normally stop at the pass for a while before heading to Lobuche. The path from Dhugla / Thukla Pass to Lobuche is mostly level. Staying at a Tea House or Mountain Lodge for the night

There will be a lot of ups and downs on today’s trip till we reach Gorakshep. The Khumbu glacier moraines provide the majority of the up and down paths. We’ll have a quick lunch in Gorakshep before heading to Everest Base Camp, which is located at the start of the Khumbu glacier. The trail follows the Khumbu glacier’s edge. You’ll get some spectacular views of Mt. Pumori and Mt. Nuptse on your right and left, respectively. From base camp, the Khumbu icefall can be seen plainly. This part of the walk takes us up up and personal with these massive mountains, and it feels like nirvana. To go to Everest Base Camp, we must climb a short distance on the Khumbu glacier. It’s located on a glacier near the Khumbu ice fall, which is easily visible.

The walk today will be moderate till we reach Namche Bazaar. Before Tengboche and after Phungi Thanga, we go for a short climb.

Today is the last day of our Khumbu trip. As we return to Lukla on the same path, the journey is quite arduous. The last climb to Lukla may seem forever since we will be in a hurry to get there, although the path is not difficult at all.

Today we will travel to the airport to catch our flight to Kathmandu, where we will be able to enjoy the valley views for the entire of the 35-minute flight. This is a full-day leisure trip including an overnight stay at a hotel.

Please check out by 12 p.m. to ensure that you catch your flight. We’ll transport you to the airport.

THINGS TO PACK

Backpack (Min 55 Ltrs with rain cover): You must pick a good quality backpack with a comfortable fit and straps that won’t give you shoulder pain. You can check out your nearest Decathlon store for a good trekking backpack.

Day backpack (20 – 30 Ltrs): When you head towards the summit, you are required to carry only a few necessary items and for that, you need a day backpack as you will leave your bigger one on the campsite. 

Floaters or Sandals: Although the entire trek requires a good quality shoe, you still need to let your feet breathe to avoid chafing and blisters. When you are at the camp, a good pair of sandals and floaters will help you to move freely.

Trekking Shoes: A good trekking shoe is comfortable, provides ankle support, and has a good grip as well. They shouldn’t be chunky, instead, they should be lightweight and sturdy.

3 Quick Dry Tees: You must keep at least three pairs of quick dry tees so that you can wash them in between stops for proper hygiene. 

2 Track Pants: A good pair of track pants made of polyester will let your skin breathe. They’re lightweight, dry easily, and comfortable to walk around in. You can easily avoid chafing and rashes by investing in a good pair of track pants.

3 Pair of Cotton Socks: Cotton socks are extremely comfortable to move around in and are lightweight as well which is why you can always count on a good pair of cotton socks while trekking. However, keep in mind to change them and avoid wearing them when they are wet.

1 Pair of Woolen Socks: A good pair of woolen socks, especially merino, are comfortable, limit odors and provide adequate insulation from the cold so you can wear them at night.

1 Poncho: A poncho is an evolved form of a raincoat that provides coverage to your body as well as your bag and ensures total water protection from rain. 

1 Heavy Jacket: It’s emphasized that you need to carry proper layers so you can avoid getting cold which is why you need to carry a heavy jacket that you can put on over your other clothes.

1 Pair of Thermal: Thermal is a piece of garment that helps in keeping your body warm in cold temperatures. It is a necessary item that you need when going on a high-altitude trek.

Quick-dry towel: A quick dry towel will help in maintaining proper hygiene. It must dry quickly because the wet fabric will only increase the chance of bacterial growth.

Windproof Jacket: As you ascend towards high altitude, you get hit by chilly winds and a windbreaker jacket is designed to resist them. They are lightweight and are made of synthetic fibers. 

Woolen Cap: A woolen cap will help prevent cold when you ascend to high altitude. You can also cover your ears to avoid any pain and discomfort you might face in them when going at high altitudes. 

Gloves: Insulated gloves help in maintaining proper body heat in your hands and also provide a better grasp on trekking poles.

Sun Cap: A lightweight sun cap with side flaps is perfect to keep your head cool and avoid sunburns on a sunny day. 

1 Scarf or Balaclava: Along with sun rays and chilly winds, you also get hit by dirt and grime during treks which is why it’s important to carry a scarf or balaclava so you can cover your face when needed.

Lip Balm: Your lips can become chapped due to the harsh cold winds so it’s important to keep them moisturized.

Cold Cream & Sun Screen (SPF 40+): To avoid sunburns and chafing, you need to put on sunscreen as well as cold cream.

Antibacterial powder: To avoid rashes that develop from a bacterial infestation in your armpits and other parts of your body.

Water Bottle 1 Lt.: Hydration is extremely important when it comes to trekking. Carrying a water bottle that you can refill with Himalayan water is a must.

Headlamp or torch: You can’t rely on moonlight when you are in the mountains. A torch or even a headlamp with a fresh pair of batteries is always a good idea to bring along.

Bag for all your Toiletries: A bag with all your essentials including napkins, toothpaste, sanitizers, paper soap, etc should be carried in a ziplock bag. 

Personal Medications and basic medical kit: A few cuts and bruises are almost inevitable when you are on a trek so carrying a medical kit with bandages, Dettol, etc is necessary.

Dark Sunglasses / People who use spectacles (Use Photochromic glasses instead of contact lenses): Photochromatic glasses are specs that are designed to transform into anti-glare shades depending upon exposure to the sun. They are good when it comes to eye protection but one can also opt for clip-on glasses etc.

Trekking Pole: The trekking pole assists in more than one way. It saves energy while also providing stability and helps you to maintain proper balance.

Documents: Identification proofs like Aadhar Card, Drivers License.

Extra Polythene: In case your clothes get wet or your garments don’t dry, you can carry them in polythene. However, make sure that all the plastic that you are carrying into the woods leaves with you. Don’t litter in the mountains. 

Camera: This should be obvious. To make sure that you get to capture all the great moments from your trek. Make sure that you have enough storage and some extra batteries as well.
