After landing in Lukla, we will take our breakfast and start our real hiking journey. Trekking through beautifully prepared natural scenery, we first cross the suspension bridge and then pass by yaks along with rhododendron forests around. We come across Phakding, one major spot for trekkers to spend their night around. We then move ahead looking for a further higher level of altitude, that will help us to acclimatize better and make the transition towards Namche easier and reach Monjo. Overnight will be spent at Monjo.

On this day, we will start our trek after breakfast there. Having our locally prepared Hygenic breakfast we will walk along with the beautiful lush forest along with Sherpa villages along the way. Following the trail, we walk along the Dudh Koshi River and cross various suspension bridges. We will also enjoy mountain vistas and observe various other mountain ranges and finally make it to Sagarmatha National Park. Having our lunch at Jorsalle, we then come across Hillary’s twin bridge and reach Namche Bazaar from where we get to witness amazing Namche with magnificent mountain views. Overnight at Namche Bazaar.

On this day, we spend our time visiting different places of Namche Bazaar itself. The core intention of this day is to get acclimatize with the altitude of upcoming heights. So, we stay in Namche Bazaar itself. It is indeed a beautiful place where we can visit around, go for some shopping too, taste locally prepared meals and stay thereby. Overnight here itself.

Having breakfast we begin the trek for this day. So, to be equipped with the high altitude we shall continue our hike that will be followed by a steep hike to the glacial moraine. Observing the beautiful Everest, we shall walk along the trail. We shall find an agricultural plain that has been divided into two individual pieces by the wall. After few hours we shall be at Thame. Lunch will be served at Thame itself. We shall visit the Thame monastery, which is one of the oldest in the Khumbu region. Dinner and overnight at Thame. Thame is the home village of famous Sherpa mountaineers like Apa Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

This day, we continue our trek by ascending upwards after breakfast. The climb will be steep at the beginning, but with increasing altitude, it will move further upward. Crossing streams, observing the scenic beauty, we shall reach Khunde for our lunch, where we shall also visit the nearby clinic which we can visit in case we need it. Or we can simply visit to see the service there. Khunde has been seen as the twin village of Khumjung. Having our lunch, we shall walk observing views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Lhoste Shar, Nuptse, Peak 38, and other mountain ranges unless we reach Khumjung. Overnight and Dinner at Khumjung. Khumjung is located in the Khumbu region inside Sagarmatha National Park, a world heritage site. This village has less population and is a major destination for trekkers of the region. It is also known as Sherpa Capital – as it is a very wealthy region of Nepal.

The day won’t be too long. so having our breakfast, we start our trek by escaping from our place observing the beautiful mountains all around. We shall follow the trail, where a magnificent view of great mountains will always follow us. After few hours we shall reach Mong La Pass, which lies at the height of 3972 m. As we have already gained altitude, we will be constantly hydrating. Hence, we shall carry enough water with us. We can get to watch Mt. Amadablam’s view beautifully from here. The ridge then descends downward to Dudh Koshi River. We shall see few tea houses at the top of the pass where we can get refreshed for some time. We will get to see porters below their teen years of age carrying heavyweight there. We continue our walk till Phortse Tenga. We shall have our lunch at Phortse. We shall then continue our trek through the long tiring uphill route of pines, oaks, and rhododendrons till we reach Dole.

Having our breakfast, we shall begin our trek with the steep uphill route. Every step will take us to increase altitude, and once we are at the top we can see the beautiful Dole. We can also see Mt. Cho Oyu from here. We shall then continue with a comfortable gentle walk for some time till we reach Lapharma. Having rest at Lapharma, we shall walk around the hill for a couple of hours till we reach Luja. Having small rest at Luja, we shall move ahead climbing upward along the side of the valley, above the river. We shall be walking alongside Dudh Koshi River this day. We shall pass through sandy spurs and then reach Machharmo. Having lunch, we shall explore around this place. This is a small village in the Khumbu region of Nepal. This village lies below one of the longest glaciers in the Himalayas.

Having our breakfast we get set for one of the most awaited days in this trek – being to Gokyo! Starting our trek, we first ascend the hill enjoying beautiful views of Dudh Koshi Valley as well as Kangtega, Thamserku, and Cho-Oyu mountains. Once across the ridge, we can see how the valley gets wider with the passing of the trail till we reach Chorten and again Phangan. We then start descending after Phangan and again start climbing up to moraine’s terminal of Ngozamba Glacier on a steep trail. We shall come across Longpongo, Raboche Tsho, and Dudh Pokhari and then finally reach Gokyo. We get to see the footprints of the Lama (Buddhist Priest). We visit Dudh Pokhari and spend some time there. Dinner and overnight in Gokyo. Gokyo village is a small village, where the villagers spend only some part of the year here.

This day we shall acclimatize to the next high altitude space. After breakfast, we shall climb up to Gokyo Ri this day. Gokyo Ri is a demanding climb as it is steep and could take more than three hours to reach the top; but once above, we won’t regret seeing the beautiful view of Gokyo village. We will be surrounded by mountains like Kusum, Kanguru, Thamserku, Kangteta, Taboche, Cholatse, Makalu, Lhotse, N uptse, Everest, Changtse and Pumori this day. We shall have our lunch being back to Gokyo. We also trek to the fifth lake which will be surrounded by a similar mountain range. We shall observe Scoundrel’s viewpoint as well. We can also see Cho Oyu base camp and Ngazumpa Glacier from the lake. But, if we have bad weather, we only plan for the fifth lake this day. Dinner and overnight at Gokyo again.

On failing to attempt to Gokyo Ri, we have this separated day as well. So, after breakfast, we get up to Gokyo Ri if we could not make it the previous day because of the weather. We shall get down and trek to Drangang. This trek will be for around a couple of hours till we cross Ngozumba Glacier. We shall then reach Drangang and have our lunch. This day will be precious enough to store memory throughout our lifetime, as we get to observe the best views. Being at the foothill space of Cho La Pass would certainly provide us with a cool breeze and a great experience. Having our dinner, we shall spend overnight there at Drangang. This is a small point to stop while reaching Cho La cross.

After breakfast, we shall get set for a pretty long and tough day. Having our breakfast early, we shall begin our trek. This trek could be filled up with snow track as well. We shall climb up to Chola Pass, passing the hill which is at the altitude of 5386m. We will have enough water and lunch packed for this day. We shall come through a complex path which involves glacier as well as rocky path. We shall then reach Dzonglha walking downward. This will be an adventurous day for the entire adventure lover. Dinner and overnight at the tea house of Dzongla. Dzongla is a small village in the North East region of Nepal that is under the Solukhumbu district.

Having a relaxed day this day will not be a hectic one. As this day will be a shorter walk, hence we can delay our trekking time. We will climb down from Dzongla, pass through a grassy trail, cross the suspension bridge and keep walking enjoying the beautiful view of Lobuche peak. We shall then stretch up eventually through the ridge till we join the way from Pheriche. Observing the beautiful views of Amadablam, Kangtega, Thamserku, Taboche we shall continue our trail. After having curvy round, through wide gravelly road, we shall be at Lobuche. After lunch, we shall relax by observing the beautiful Himalayan range.

After having locally prepared breakfast at Lobuche, we shall begin our trek and then. We will pass through Indian army mountaineers’ memorials. Watching incredible views of Pumori, Lingtren, Khumbutse, and other mountains, we shall also get to see glaciers and ice fall throughout the journey. The walk can be stressful because of thin air at high altitudes. Gorak Shep will be right away, where we shall leave our bags and have our lunch at tea house there. After lunch, we shall start our trek and hike up to Kala Pattar. There is steep climbing up that we need to go through for around two-third of an hour to reach flat land, where Nepal Government once conducted a meeting about Global Warming back in 2009. This meeting was recognized worldwide. The trail will bend for some time, and then we shall reach Kala Pattar that lies about 50m above the rock. We shall return to Gorak Shep’s teahouse. Overnight at Tea house of Gorak Shep.

This morning after breakfast, we shall continue our trail up to Everest Base Camp, and again return to Gorak Shep. We can find the trail on the glacier and snow-capped rocks. We will also get to see many frozen lakes around the Base Camp. Khumbu icefall provides the best view from Everest Base Camp. The cool breeze, great height, and beautiful mountain range will be around us. We shall trek down through icefall like a roller coaster again. Going down to a glacier indeed is an amazing experience. We shall then move ahead, and walk down to Pheriche overnight. Since the downward journey would be easier and the pace would turn faster, we would easily move ahead. Crossing streams and passing through the beautiful mountain, we shall continue thereby. We shall have our dinner at Pheriche. Overnight at Pheriche.

We shall have breakfast and then crossing villages, Buddhist monasteries, bridges, and some waterfall, today we will trek to Tengboche. We shall be getting to a comparatively lower altitude this day. But this day’s trek will begin being straight upward. We shall begin the trek passing the yak grazing area. We shall also pass through Pangboche. Pangboche is the place where we shall have our lunch. We shall then come along the Dudh Koshi River which will be equipped with rhododendron forest and then reach Tengboche. There’s a bakery, which is popular for apple pie. We can taste other different items as well there. We shall spend time here at the bakery and monastery before dinner. Overnight at Tea house of Tengboche.

We can get to join morning prayers at the monastery. After breakfast, we shall leave the place bidding Mt Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku’s view farewell. We shall reach Phunki, where we shall have our lunch. We will see this place as a collection of lodges. We shall reach the point that will turn Phortse off and then descend till Namche Bazar. We shall finally be back below 3500 m this day and start feeling much better. We can already celebrate in Namche Bazar, but with limitations, because we have a long journey to Lukla the next day. We can visit Everest Viewpoint this day again to give the ultimate look to Everest. Dinner will be served at Namche Bazaar. Overnight at Namche.

After having our breakfast, we start our trek back to Lukla. It will be a pretty familiar route because this was the way that we came back through. We come across the same Hillary bridge, cross the river and set our destination till we make it to Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi river. There will be forests of pine, juniper, and fir which will be bidding farewell there. Having our lunch at the main gate of Sagarmatha National Park, we continue our trek with the trail along Dudh Koshi River and finally make it to Lukla – our ultimate destination of the day.

This will be an extra day that we separate for anything that could be out of plan. Be it because of weather trouble, or some other causes; we may have to miss some places. To avoid this, we allocate this extra day. If everything goes as per the schedule, we can plan this day to go to Kathmandu and explore Kathmandu. But, if anywhere we go at the mess, we can make use of this day to recover our loss.

We shall fly to Kathmandu this day as per our schedule. If the flight is early, we shall have our breakfast at Kathmandu, or we can keep that at Lukla itself. We shall have rest once we have our lunch at Kathmandu. Evening time can be spent at the places nearby. Being around Thamel Market in the evening could be a great experience. There will be live music at Thamel till late at night that we can enjoy. Overnight at
