Everest Base Camp Trek (14 days)
Day 01: Arrive at Kathmandu airport (1320m).
Welcome to Nepal! Here our representative will meet you with a name card as you leave the
airport. You will be welcomed by receiving a garland (floral wreath) around your neck, this
means welcome to Nepal. You will then be driven to your hotel by car. Here you can have a rest
and enjoy the day around Thamel; the tourist center of Kathmandu.
Hotel in Kathmandu- B
Day 02 - Flight to Lukla/ Start Trek to Phakding (2650 m) about 3 hours.
Early morning your guide will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the Domestic
airport. Your flight this morning will be to Lukla (2827m), an exciting and scenic flight. The
flight runs parallel to the Himalayan giants bordering Nepal and Tibet. Flight time is about 40
minutes and we land at an airstrip built by Sir Edmund Hillary and the Sherpas in the mid1960s. After an exciting landing you will meet with your porters who will carry your equipment
during the trek. We explore the village before hitting the trail. The trek starts with a descent
towards the Dudh Kosi River, passing through prayers stones and prayer flags, and then joining
the main trail towards Namche Bazaar. (Dudh means 'milk as the waters of the river are a milky
white color from the glacial melt).The walk is easy and after passing through the small village of
Chheplung (2650m) and Ghat (2550m), we soon reach our lodge at Phakding. Your guide will
be happy to accompany you for a short walk around the area, or just rest and read book.

Day 03 Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3450m) about 7 hours
We start the day by Crossing the River to walk through blue pine and rhododendron forests, in
the spring when the flowers are in bloom it is a magical sight. Enjoy great views of the snowcapped peaks of Kusum Kanguru (6369m) and Thamserku (6623m). From here it is only a short
walk to Monjo (2835m), where we arrive in time for lunch. From here the walking gets a little
tougher and includes a steep ascent to Namche Bazaar. It is a short walk to the entrance of the
national park, where our permits are checked before we descend quite steeply to again cross the
Dudh Kosi to Jorsale (2805m). The trek continues upstream on generally flat terrain, to the
confluence of the BhoteKosi and Dudh Kosi rivers. After crossing a large stable suspension
bridge high above the river we climb steeply to the village of Namche Bazaar. A slow and steady
pace is recommended on this section of the climb and we are encouraged to make the most of the
fantastic photographic opportunities as the peaks of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Taweche come
into view for the first time. You may notice you are travelling a little more slowly as the effects
of altitude start to become apparent. Take your time on this path which is used by the local
peoples as a 'foot highway' on this important trading route. At Namche we stay in a lodge in the
heart of the village.

Day 04 -Acclimatization Day in Namche Bazaar.
Due to the high altitude, we stay in Namche Bazaar for a second night to help with
acclimatisation. This also enables you to fully explore the town and its surroundings. Namche is
a prosperous village, situated in a large protected hollow. The town grew in importance when
Tibetan salt was traded for the lowland grains of Nepal. Today trade still continues at Namche
and Tibetans are sometimes seen in the village trading rugs, Chinese-made goods, clothing, salt
and dried meat. It is highly recommended that you see both the sunrise and sunset views from the
national park headquarters above the village. The panorama can be stunning at both times of the
day with a superb view of the Khumbu peaks, including great sightings of Everest. After
breakfast there are various options, including a walk with a series of great peaks rearing to well
over 6,000 meters just to the west. Alternatively you can visit the national park headquarters to
see the interesting displays of Sherpa lifestyle and culture. Your guides will be on hand to offer
advice and to escort you on the walks. Another option is the steep climb out of the village bowl

your time. We pass by the small settlement of Sanasa, the trail drops towards PhunkiThanga
(3250m). From here the trail climbs steeply through forests and by more mani stones. Following
the side of a hill, you will reach a saddle on which the monastery of Tengboche sits at 3870m.

magnificently carved mani stones to Pangboche (3901m). This village is the highest year-round
settlement in the valley. The Pangboche gompa is the oldest in the Everest region; it once
