Today we will be doing some pre-briefing, and paperwork before sightseeing. So, after breakfast,  we have a pre-trip meeting at your hotel in Kathmandu and introduce your trek guide. During this meeting, you can clear all your doubts related to the trek. We will also give you a cap and our journey luggage bag. Please bring your passport, three copies of passport-size pictures, and a legible copy of your travel insurance policy to the meeting. Please pay any outstanding balance at this meeting and sign the legally binding trip form and the non-liability declaration.

We start our day of sightseeing right after the meeting. A private vehicle and a professional tour guide are provided. During our visit to Boudhanath Stupa, one of Asia’s largest Buddhist shrines, we get to see Buddhist monks praying in the monasteries which surround the stupa. Following Boudhnath Stupa, we go on to Pashupatinath, the most well-known Hindu temple in the nation, which is situated along the banks of the famous Bagmati River. Here, we witness sadhus meditating, pilgrims bathing, and periodic cremation pyres burning on the ghats.

Then we proceed to Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a collection of the pagoda- and shikhara-style temples centered around a brick and wood palace with fifty-five windows. The main attractions of Bhaktapur Durbar Square are The Lion Gate, the Golden Gate, the Palace with Fifty-Five Windows, the Art Galleries, and the Statue of King Bhupatindra Malla. Our remaining time in Kathmandu is free for additional exploration and last-minute shopping in the Thamel district close to your hotel. Stay overnight at Hotel.

Early in the morning, our guide will come get you from your accommodation and transport you to the domestic terminal of the Kathmandu airport. After that, you board an aircraft from Kathmandu to Lukla. For the full forty minutes, you may enjoy breath-taking vistas of the Himalayas. Your porter is waiting for you when you get to Tenzing-Hilary Airport. He’ll carry your baggage. After that, you start your journey. You’re going on a short, easy walk today—three hours. The ceremonial gatehouse, or Kani, is the first landmark along the path. Before dropping sharply, it runs level above the Kyangma hamlet, which is home to a sizable gompa (monastery) and school.

Next, you reach the settlement of Cheplung. The route gives views of the Dudh Koshi River and travels through a communal forest as it descends. To get to Ghat, cross the suspension bridge and then make a quick climb around the ridge. The route exits Ghat past a school and a complex of mani walls, prayer wheels, and chortens. The path then climbs to the little village of Chhuthawa. After a little climb from Chhuthawa, you will arrive in Phakding. and spend the night at teahouses or lodges.

Following a delightful morning, the trek crosses the Dudh Kosi River via bridges and passes through several interesting settlements, such as Toc-Toc, Bhenkar, and Monjo, before reaching the Sagarmatha National Park entry gate. You will be walking for around six hours today. From here, spend a few hours strolling along the riverbank before making a sharp climb uphill to Namche Bazaar, which has excellent eateries, pubs, cybercafés, post offices, and banks. You may take in the scenery and spend the day in lodges on the remaining days.

First day of a rest day between the two “acclimatisation” days is today. On your day off, we may travel to Khunde, hike to Thame for the day, or just relax and have a leisurely stroll in Namche Bazaar. It’s better to move about and keep active than to sit around all day. The centre of the Everest (Khumbu) area is Namche Bazaar, which has government buildings, ATMs, Internet cafés, stores, restaurants, a bakery, and a bustling market every Friday and Saturday. You may thus make use of our rest day by exploring the Namche market or going on a few hundred feet of steep hiking during the day.

Additionally, your guides will take you to the Tourist Visitor Centre of Sagarmatha National Park, where we could see a range of products. Our guides take us to the Tourist Visitor Centre near the Sagarmatha National Park headquarters, where we can explore the different plant and animal species found in the Everest region and see a range of artefacts related to the first Everest climbers. We can also learn about Sherpa culture. Enjoy dinner in the evening and spend the night at the lodges.

With spectacular vistas of the mountains, the walk continues today amid the rushing glacier rivers of the Dudh Kosi. By the time we reach Tengboche, we will have ascended to 3,860 metres above sea level. After arriving here, we’ll go to the Tengboche monastery, where you can see a 20-foot-tall Buddha sculpture, breathtaking wall hangings, and the musical instruments and robes used by the lamas. The party will be taken to see a prayer ritual in the morning or the evening, depending on the nature of today’s trekking. The remainder of the day is yours to spend anyway you like. Spend the night at teahouses or lodges.

We begin our day with breakfast and morning rituals, followed by a two-hour excursion. Today’s walk to Upper Pangboche at 4000 meters is uncomplicated and needs only a 140-meter elevation from Tengboche. Sometimes, the rapid ascent is chosen instead of staying an additional night in Tengboche for acclimatization. The trek descends to Deboche at the start and then climbs through a deep forest with limited views. The route traverses a cliff wall with several vistas, including Ama Dablam to the south, after passing the bridge. From this point on, the trail continues with a few brief, steep stretches. We climbed to Upper Pangboche, where we were rewarded with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, after passing via Lower Pangboche. Spend the night at a teahouse or a lodge.

We will prepare for the Ama Dablam base cam today after breakfast, which should take five to six hours. Following our journey, we retrace our steps to the Dudh Kosi Bridge at Pangboche, cross it, and ascend the opposite side to reach the base camp via the path and ridgeline. The base camp is located in a stunning location and offers views of much of the journey. At around 4600m, it provides a tranquil respite from the challenges of the ascent. When our porters go with their loads, the only people left are our guides and kitchen staff for the next three weeks. Stay the night in a camper trailer.

There’s more acclimatisation to come today. To acclimatise to the altitude, you will begin your day by ascending to the Yak Camp. For your body to adjust to the rising altitude, you need to climb for a short while. The initial section offers amazing views of the Himalayas as it follows a moraine’s crest.

Then you merge southwestward with the ridge. The guides will leave some of the heavier equipment behind that is required. Once that’s done, head back to base camp for a dinner to warm up. Base Camp overnight accommodations in a tent.

Because the expedition leader and participants will choose what has to be accomplished each day, there is no set daily plan for the climbing portion. Guides will employ a flexible strategy based on the demands of climbers and their individual experience.

The crew often stays a few days in base camp to organise supplies, practice knotting, and acclimatise before climbing beyond it. It is standard practice to “tag,” or stay at Camp 1 (5700m), for at least one night as part of an acclimatisation plan before returning to base camp, recovering, and preparing for a summit attempt.

From the base camp, we follow an old grassy moraine ridge roughly eastward to a large saddle at 5150 metres where we can see the Mingbo La. From the saddle, we easily ascend north until the terrain begins to slope down, marking the start of a vast boulder field. We may establish an advanced base camp 5400 metres below the boulder field.

The trail heads north along the base of the boulder field and then climbs via cairns to the toe of the south-west ridge. Near the end of the boulder field, slabs are crossed and a small gully is ascended to give access to the ridge itself in a somewhat exposed spot. On the eastern side of the ridge, easy scrambling provides quick access to Camp 1.

Tents are arranged on four or five platforms. We follow the contour around Camp 1’s (or a possible replacement location for Camp 1) snowy basin until we are below two fingers of rock. Keeping to the east side of the ridge, one ascends through a short pitch of “difficult” standard that goes straight up to the crest.

The ridge contains several tight sections and steep easterly bends until the second traverse, which leads to two pitches that satisfy the “extremely severe” classification. The trail follows the summit of the mountain for a little while before making us take an uncomfortably steep step to go on the west side of the hill.

This 15-meter pitch located just below Camp 2 is among the toughest pitches on the HVS (5.8) class climb. A minor hill now leads to Camp 2. (5900m). There is not much tent space (three or four tent platforms) and Camp 2 is rather exposed.

It’s sometimes used as a site to dump equipment when expeditions decide to go all the way from Camp 1 to Camp 3. The ascent departs Camp 2 by circling around a red granite bluff on the east, then follows the snow ridge directly to a strenuous east traverse. This results in a ravine that separates the Grey Tower from the lower rock buttress.

We climb the gully until we reach a traverse trail on the west side of the ridge that is very exposed. To reach the start of Mushroom Ridge, we have to ascend a small snow slope. Usually, the next stage involves negotiating some difficult snow sections to Camp 3 (6300m). The path climbs the snow and ice slope immediately above Camp 3 to Dablam’s right side.

We continue westward, skirting Dablam on the right, to get access to a tiny snowfield beneath the Bergschrund. The journey continues straight up to the ice top above after navigating the Bergschrund. This is followed by a magnificent rise to the top. Spend the night in a tent (Excellent camping tents will be provided by each camp).

We start our six-hour journey down to 3441-meter-high Namche Bazaar. With luck, we should be at Namche in time for the market. Good food is constantly available, including delectable chocolate cake with icing, soft yak steaks, and creamy coffee! At this market, the lowland porters bringing supplies meet the highland Sherpa and Tibetan people, who have come from far away over high passes to exchange products and food for their homes and communities. Honour and enjoy your adventure. Spend the night at the guesthouse.

After six hours of trekking, we return to Lukla (3404m), the starting point of the expedition. We’ll pause for a moment to celebrate each participant’s unique achievements as well as the overall trip. You will have plenty of time to explore the city on foot. Spend the night at the guesthouse.

We take an early morning flight to Kathmandu following a strenuous mountain hike. Once in Kathmandu, we have time to relax or go shopping for mementoes. We have the chance to explore any more of Kathmandu today. Our tour guides can help you with shopping for souvenirs and sightseeing. A goodbye dinner will be served in honour of the visitors in the evening. Spend the night in a hotel.

Today marks the conclusion of your journey across Nepal! All you have to do is sort your photos and send each other emails while you’re on the road. You will be driven to the airport by an RT representative three hours before your scheduled departure. While travelling back home, you’ll have plenty of time to organise your upcoming vacation to Nepal.
