Everest Base Camp Trekking

Day 01: Arrival at Kathmandu
You will be landed at one of the ancient cities of Nepal, Kathmandu. The capital is rich in its culture and tradition. A representative from Shiva Excursion will welcome you at the airport and take you to your hotel. You can spend your remaining day shopping for some gifts and essential materials that you may need during your trekking. In the evening, we will have a welcome dinner and a chance for you to view traditional Nepali dancing.

From Kathmandu fly to Lukla (2840m./35 min) in the early morning. You will be landed at one of the world's thrilling airports. After landing at Lukla Airport you will meet your porter there and start your trekking. You will start to trek down through the forest and Sherpa village. You will have a chance to capture the Kongde peak and Kusumkangaroo. Around after three hours after your trek start, you will reach Phakding via Chaurikharka and Ghat.

This is an interesting day for those trekkers who loved to cross the suspension-hanging bridge. You will follow the Dudhkoshi river and cross the same river 5 times via bridge. You will enter the Sagarmatha National Park from Manjo. After having lunch at jorsalle you will start to climb up through the pine forest to get Namche. If the weather will be nice you will have your first glimpse of Everest. Namche Bazzar is also known as the gateway to Mt. Everest. It is a well-facilitated town in the Himalayas with ATM, Bank, Café, Pub and etc.

Acclimatization is very essential when you trek at a high altitude. On this day you hike up to Everest View Hotel(3880 m) or as recommended by your guide as per your fitness and interest. If you want to explore a little bit more than normal trekkers then you can go to Khumjung village. You can spend the rest of your time visiting the museums, monasteries, and markets at Namche Bazar. You will have the surrounding view of Mahalangur Himalayan Range along with Everest, Nuptse, Lothse, Amadablam, Thamserku, Kusumkangaroo, Kongde, Khumbila, Tobuche etc.

After having an acclimatization day in Namche Bazar. we will start to trek towards the beautiful farming village Phortse. The trail is flat and easy at the beginning with a magnificent view. After reaching the kyanjuma we will follow the same trail to Gokyo. We have to climb up to reach a Mong La (3900m). We will have lunch at Monga la. For fortes Thanga we have to descend for one hour. After Phortse Thanga we will again climb up to reach the Phortse. We will have a lot of chances to see Mountains goats, Thar, Musk deer, Dhanpe, etc during the day.

After having breakfast at Phortse, we will start to trek towards our next destination Dingboche. We will walk through the middle of the sloping hill. We have lots of ups and downs until we get to the beautiful Pangboche village. After pangboche we will mostly climb gradually and steep up somewhere for while until Dingboche. Dingboche is one of the biggest Sherpa settlements on High altitude.

After having breakfast at tea houses as per the plan made the previous day we will start our journey. There will be lots of options for what you will do on acclimatization day. As per your interest and need the guide could decide the destination. A beautiful mahalangur ranges along with mt. Makalu is an attraction of the day.

After climbing up a bit, the trail will be gradually up until we will reach Thukla. The trail looks easy to trek but due to the altitude, it won’t be as easy as it looks. After reaching Thukla we would decide whether we will have lunch at Thukla or at Lobuche. From thukla for 1 hour the trail will be steep up and gradually up for the next one hour to reach Lobuche. Memorial park after thukla and view of valley and mountains makes your day amazing.

This one is the day you had dreams for years. Finally, on this day we will be at the base camp of the world’s highest mountain. The trail is gradually up to at the beginning and ups and down later until we will reach Gorakshep. From Gorekhshep also the trail will be ups and down until we will reach EBC. The base camp itself is above the Khumbu glacier, which is also known as the biggest glacier in the world. After spending some time at Base Camp we will back to Gorekshep for overnight.

We have to wake up in the early morning for a clear and surrounding view of mountains. We will hike for 2 hrs to get to Kalapathher (55454m), one of the best Mountain Viewpoints in the world. The temperature could go below -30 degrees as per the season. So we have to prepare for the cold before we start hiking. After back from Kalapathher we will have our breakfast at Gorekhshep and start to trek down to reach Pheriche.

After having breakfast, as usual, we will start our journey to get back to the beautiful town Namche. The trail will be mostly similar to which we trekked before. We may hike for 7-8 hrs to get to the Namche Bazar where we can spend our time shopping, messaging, drinking, and many more.

This is the same way back we did on our first and second day of the trip. We will be tired as well as excited too for our final day of the trip. After around 8 hours of walk, we will reach Lukla.

We may have to wake up early as per our flight schedule from Lukla to Kathmandu. After short and adventurous flights our guide will drop you at the hotel. You can separate your remaining time for shopping, massage, celebrating, and so on.

This is your final day in Nepal. A representative of Shiva Excursion Pvt. Ltd. will come to pick up you at your hotel for your final departure.
