Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival in Kathmandu.

Your Himalayan adventure begins upon landing at Tribhuvan International Airport. After clearing customs, our team transfers you to your hotel in the Thamel district, Kathmandu's vibrant tourist hub.

The remainder of the day is yours to explore or rest after your international journey. An evening briefing covers trek logistics, introduces your guide, and addresses any questions about the coming days.

Day 1 essentials:

  • Airport pickup and hotel transfer included
  • Trek briefing and equipment check
  • Time to explore Kathmandu if energy permits
  • Early dinner recommended for morning flight preparation

Day 2 Fly to Lukla and Trek to Phakding (2,610m)

Flight time: 25-30 minutes | Trek time: 3-4 hours | Distance: 8km

The morning begins with one of aviation's most thrilling experiences—the flight to Lukla. Your twin-propeller aircraft weaves between mountain peaks before landing at Tenzing-Hillary Airport, famously considered one of the world's most challenging runways.

After landing, you begin trekking immediately. The trail descends gently through pine forests and Sherpa villages, crossing your first suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River. Phakding, your overnight stop, sits in a peaceful valley where the sound of rushing water accompanies your evening meal.

Day 2 highlights:

  • Spectacular mountain flight with Himalayan views
  • First steps on the legendary Everest trail
  • Multiple suspension bridge crossings
  • Introduction to teahouse accommodation
  • Altitude: Starting at 2,840m (Lukla), ending at 2,610m (Phakding)

Day 3 Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3,440m)

Trek time: 5-6 hours | Distance: 11km | Elevation gain: 830m

This day features the trek's most significant climb, ascending through Sagarmatha National Park to reach Namche Bazaar. The trail follows the Dudh Koshi valley, crossing the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge—one of the longest in the Khumbu region.

After entering the national park at Monjo, the path steepens dramatically for the final push to Namche. The effort rewards you with arrival in the Sherpa capital, a remarkable town built into a horseshoe-shaped mountainside with stunning views in every direction.

Day 3 milestones:

  • Entry into Sagarmatha National Park at Monjo
  • Hillary Suspension Bridge crossing
  • First potential Everest sighting on clear days
  • Arrival at legendary Namche Bazaar
  • Altitude gain requires steady pacing

Day 4 Acclimatization Day with Everest View Hotel Hike

Hike time: 3-4 hours | Altitude reached: 3,880m | Overnight: Namche Bazaar

The fourth day represents the trek's crown jewel. After breakfast, you ascend to the Hotel Everest View at Syangboche, where the Himalayan panorama unfolds in magnificent detail. Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku create a skyline found nowhere else on Earth.

This acclimatization day follows the mountaineering principle of "climb high, sleep low." By hiking to 3,880 meters and returning to sleep at 3,440 meters in Namche, your body adjusts more effectively to the altitude.

Day 4 experiences:

  • Sunrise views over Kongde Ri and Thamserku
  • Hike to Hotel Everest View (3,880m)
  • Unobstructed panoramas of Everest and surrounding giants
  • Visit to Syangboche Airport (world's highest)
  • Optional exploration of Khumjung village and monastery
  • Return to Namche for comfortable overnight

Day 5 Namche Bazaar to Lukla (2,840m)

Trek time: 6-7 hours | Distance: 19km | Elevation loss: 600m

The return journey combines two upward days into one longer descent. The trail feels different heading downward—you notice details missed during the ascent and appreciate the scenery from new angles.

Walking is generally easier on the descent, though the distance requires steady pacing. You arrive in Lukla with time to explore this fascinating mountain town and enjoy a celebration dinner with your trekking crew.

Day 5 considerations:

  • Longer walking day (combine Day 2 & 3 routes)
  • Descent is easier but requires knee care
  • Final views of Khumbu valley peaks
  • Celebration dinner in Lukla
  • Early rest for morning flight

Day 6 Fly to Kathmandu

Flight time: 25-30 minutes

The morning flight returns you to Kathmandu, where the contrast between mountain serenity and city energy becomes immediately apparent. After landing, transfer to your hotel with the remainder of the day free.

Many trekkers use this day for souvenir shopping, temple visits, or simply processing their mountain experience. Kathmandu's Thamel district offers excellent options for last-minute gifts and memorable meals.

Day 6 activities:

  • Early morning flight (weather dependent)
  • Transfer to Kathmandu hotel
  • Free time for exploration or rest
  • Optional: Kathmandu sightseeing (Boudhanath, Pashupatinath)
