Tour PlanExpand All

Today we will take a helicopter flight to Syanboche. And the amazing scene visible from here includes a superb panorama of the Khumbu peaks and great views of Everest. Overnight at Everest View Hotel.

We will move down on this day through the Khumjung area and move to the major path to Everest at Shanasa. We will walk further to Trashinga and then move down to go across the Dudh Koshi at Phunkitenga (3250m).

In the daytime, it is a wide and vertical ascend through fir, black juniper, pine, rhododendron forest and reach Tengboche Monastery. Here we can see gigantic peaks AmaDablam, Kantega, Mt. Everest, etc. We will be walking for around 5 hours today. Overnight at tea house.

On this day, we will walk down all the way through the forest of birch, juniper, fir, and rhododendron at Debouche. Here we only walk steady way up due to the elevation. We have to speed ourselves increasingly all the way through the day.

After passing the Imja Khola, the trail heads to Pangboche. Here we can see the beautiful mountain of Ama Dablam. Then our route is to climb all the way through unwrapped alpine hillsides prior. Crossing another path of the Imja Khola and reach Dingboche. Overnight at tea house.

Today, we have one more day to rest at Dingboche which lies at an altitude of 4300m. We need to get accustomed to the high elevation, so we don’t go for further ascend today.

Optionally, we can go for hiking in Chhukung Valley, this is not compulsory. It depends on you whether you want to do it or not. Overnight at tea house.

Today, leaving Dingboche the track goes up to the drain of the Khumbu. Then after an hour the path mounts up to the Khumbu Glacier. Almost half of the climb to the moraine is Dughla.

Moving ahead from Dughla the trail keeps on ascending steeply to the crest of the moraine. The path now moves on a flat level on the west part of the moraine prior to arriving at Lobuche. Overnight at tea house.

Today is the most demanding and significant day of the entire trek. We will walk all along the Khumbu Glacier to reach up to Everest Base Camp (5360m) which is considered to be the nearest place you can get to observe Mt. Everest without mountaineering equipment.

The vista of the Khumbu Icefall from Base Camp is fabulous. A firm way up permits us to put up the slow, sound pace essential when walking at high altitude. When we reach the moraines of Changri Nup Glacier, we make a chain of small up and down trekking. It is over a shaky track lined with cairns that takes us to the unpredicted glacial sands of Gorakshep (5160m).

And, we head off to the Everest Base Camp. We then return back to Gorakshep for staying overnight. Overnight at tea house.

We will walk up to Kalapattar early in the morning. We can observe the peaks of Pumori (7,145m), Khumbutse (6,623m), Lingtren (6,697m) and more. The mountains divide Nepal from Tibet and just above the Lho La pass, we can see the huge face of Changtse (7,750m) and Mt Everest (8,848.86 m).

And then return back to Kathmandu Via Helicopter. Overnight at Kathmandu.
