Als dicht bij de hoogste berg ter wereld komen op je reiswensenlijstje staat, dan is deze Mount Everest tour in Nepal perfect voor jou. We organiseren verschillende trektochten in Nepal, maar de Mount Everest van dichtbij bekijken is geen sinecure. Er is veel voorbereiding nodig als je de Everest base camp trekking wilt doen. Ook al gaan we niet naar de top van de Everest, het gevoel van prestatie is ongelooflijk belonend en de moeite waard aan het eind, om nog maar te zwijgen over het fantastische landschap en de wonderlijke bezienswaardigheden die je onderweg zult ervaren. Trekking in Nepal staat bij veel mensen op de lijst van hun levensdoelen en het doen met een georganiseerde groep is de veiligste manier om het te doen. Deze Mount Everest tour in Nepal begint in de hoofdstad Kathmandu, waar je wordt opgewacht en naar het hotel van de eerste nacht wordt gebracht. Je hebt tijd om de historische en intrigerende stad te verkennen voordat je de volgende ochtend de vlucht naar Lukla neemt om aan de twee weken durende Everest base camp trekking te beginnen. De trektocht naar het basiskamp heeft een redelijk tempo met een paar acclimatisatiedagen in Namche Bazaar en Dingboche om de tocht te onderbreken en ervoor te zorgen dat iedereen in de groep zich op zijn gemak voelt. Elke dag klim je hoger en geniet je van het wonderlijke uitzicht op de imposante Everest en de besneeuwde toppen van de Himalaya, terwijl je 's avonds verblijft in vriendelijke trekking lodges die je onderweg vindt. Wij vinden dat dit een trekking in Nepal een veel aangenamere en socialere ervaring maakt dan slapen in de kou onder een tent. Na zeven of acht dagen, afhankelijk van het weer en andere omstandigheden, gaan we met een laatste zetje de Khumbu vallei in en bereiken we het basiskamp, met de kans op een extra wandeling naar Kala Pattar voor het beste uitzicht op de Mount Everest. Dan dalen we weer af door de bergen voordat we terugvliegen naar Kathmandu. Omdat vluchten tussen Lukla en Kathmandu soms vertraagd of geannuleerd kunnen zijn vanwege weersomstandigheden, raden we aan om na de reis ten minste 1 extra nacht in Kathmandu door te brengen. Iedereen die deelneemt aan onze Everest Base Camp Trek krijgt gratis een trekkingpakket (normaal $45), met daarin een donsjack en slaapzak; geschikt voor het seizoen waarin je reist.

Tour program

Dag 1

Aankomst in Kathmandu, transfer naar hotel

We greet you on your arrival in Kathmandu airport today and transfer you to your hotel in the Thamel tourist district of the city. Our rep will help you settle in and familiarise you with the local area. OVERNIGHT:. Kathmandu hotel. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. Single room supplement (NPSGEB). Extra day in Kathmandu - pre-tour
Your Everest tour in Nepal officially starts today. We catch the short early morning flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (2,800m) and start trekking to Phakding (2,652m). Descending out of Lukla the trail gently winds its way along the river and serves as an easy introduction to the harder days ahead. We overnight at Phakding at one of the many comfortable trekking lodges. Situated along the Dudh Kosi river valley, Phakding offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and lush greenery. The village is known for its traditional Sherpa culture, stone houses, and warm hospitality. Visitors can explore the local gompa (Buddhist monastery) or simply relax in one of the many tea houses, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and stunning scenery. Trekking time: Approx. 2 1/2 hours. OVERNIGHT:. Phakding trekking lodge. MEALS:. Breakfast. EXTRAS:. Trekking Pack
The day starts gently as we make our way along the river to the entrance of the Sagamartha National Park, where we will obtain our trekking permits and register with the park authorities. Soon the trail starts to rise for a long climb up to Namche Bazaar (3,446m), where we stop for the night. Namche Bazaar, often referred to as the "gateway to Everest," is a vibrant Sherpa town perched high in the Himalayas. Its amphitheater-like setting, surrounded by towering peaks, offers awe-inspiring vistas. This bustling trading hub is a melting pot of cultures, where trekkers and mountaineers from across the globe mingle with local Sherpa people. The narrow, stone-paved streets are lined with colorful prayer flags, tea houses, souvenir shops, and bakeries. Namche Bazaar is also home to the Sagarmatha National Park Museum, providing insights into the region's unique ecosystem and Sherpa culture. It's a place to acclimatize, soak in the mountain ambiance, and experience the warmth of Sherpa hospitality. Trekking time: Approx. 5 hours. OVERNIGHT:. Namche Bazaar trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
Today is a free day in Namche Bazaar for acclimatisation - one of the most important things to do on any Everest tour in Nepal. This colourful Sherpa town is a great place to spend time exploring. There are numerous shops and stalls selling everything from cut price trekking gear to Buddhist prayer flags. Its internet cafes, bakeries and cafes are also popular with the many visitors. Of course, if you're not too tired, there are plenty of interesting and scenic day walks you can do if wish. We overnight at a lodge in Namche Bazaar. OVERNIGHT:. Namche Bazaar trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
Leaving Namche Bazaar behind our goal today is the village of Thengboche, which lies on top of the next ridge. This means we start the day with a long descent through Rhododendron forests down to the suspension bridge at Phunki Tenga (3,250m). Then we start the climb and it really is a strenuous climb, as now we have to fight against the altitude as well at the steepness of the trail. Eventually we crest the ridge and arrive at Thengboche (3,870m), from where, on a clear day, the views of Everest and Lhotse are magnificent. We overnight at a lodge in Thengboche. Thengboche itself is primarily known for its prominent monastery, which is a beacon of spirituality and serenity, set amidst the awe-inspiring mountain landscape. Its red-roofed buildings, adorned with colorful prayer flags, stand as a testament to the enduring faith of the Sherpa people. The monastery is home to a community of Buddhist monks who dedicate their lives to prayer and meditation, creating an atmosphere of peace and contemplation. Visitors are welcome to witness the monks' daily rituals, explore the monastery's intricate artwork and statues, and soak in the panoramic views of Everest, Ama Dablam, and other majestic peaks. Thengboche Monastery is not just a religious site; it's a place of profound beauty and cultural significance, leaving a lasting impression on all who visit. Trekking time: Approx. 5 hours plus any side walks. OVERNIGHT:. Thengboche trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
Today's trekking takes us through beautiful Rhododendron forests as we follow the river up the Imja valley towards Dingboche. Along this stretch of the trail there is a good possibility of spotting the elusive musk deer, an endangered species indigenous to the area. Leaving the forests behind, we end the day with a steep climb up to Dingboche (4,410m). We overnight at a lodge in Dingboche. Surrounded by towering peaks like Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and Island Peak, the village of Dingboche offers breathtaking scenery in every direction. Its sprawling fields, dotted with stone walls and grazing yaks, create a sense of tranquility and rural charm. Dingboche is also known for its network of hiking trails, leading to viewpoints like Nangkartshang Peak, offering even more spectacular vistas of the Himalayan giants. With its combination of natural beauty, cultural richness, and opportunities for exploration, Dingboche is a highlight for many trekkers on their journey to Everest. Trekking time: Approx. 4 hours. OVERNIGHT:. Dingboche trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
We spend the day in Dingboche acclimatising to the high altitude. This beautiful Sherpa village is a patchwork of small fields enclosed by stonewalls and offers wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. If you don't feel like resting you can head up the valley towards Chukung for even better views. We overnight at a lodge in Dingboche. OVERNIGHT:. Dingboche trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
Climbing up from Dingboche we follow the valley high up on one side until we reach Dughla (4,620m) and the entrance to the Khumbu valley. Heading up the Khumbu valley, a steep climb takes us over the Thokla Pass (4,830m) then we follow the edge of the glacial moraine onto Lobuche (4,910m). We overnight at a lodge in Lobuche. Lobuche is a stark yet captivating village in Nepal's Khumbu region, sits in the shadow of towering peaks, including the majestic Lobuche Peak itself. Its high altitude and rugged terrain create a sense of remoteness and adventure, making it a crucial stop for trekkers acclimatizing before their final push to Everest Base Camp. The village consists of a cluster of stone lodges and tea houses, offering basic comforts and warm hospitality amidst the harsh environment. Despite its starkness, Lobuche boasts incredible views of the surrounding mountains, including the Khumbu Glacier, and the night sky, unpolluted by city lights, is a breathtaking spectacle of stars. Trekking time: Approx. 4 hours. OVERNIGHT:. Lobuche trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
Today we continue up the edge of the Khumbu glacier until we finally reach Everest Base Camp (5,364m). If you're lucky and the timing is right you may see expeditions preparing to climb Mount Everest. After spending some time to enjoy the surroundings and the completion of our goal, we make our way back down to Lobuche. We overnight at a lodge in Gorak Shep. Trekking time: Approx. 5-6 hours. OVERNIGHT:. Gorak Shep trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
Starting from Gorak Shep, we ascend to Kalar Pattar, a vantage point renowned for its breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Everest and the surrounding Himalayan giants. This climb, though steep and demanding, is well worth the effort for the unforgettable vistas it offers. From Kalar Pattar, the trail descends gradually towards Dughla, passing through rocky terrain and offering glimpses of the Khumbu Glacier. This section of the trek, while less strenuous than the ascent, requires careful footing due to the uneven path. The journey from Gorak Shep to Dughla via Kala Patthar is a testament to the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas and the resilience of those who venture into its embrace. During this part of our Everest tour in Nepal, we keep our itinerary for today and tomorrow flexible, depending on the weather and how people are handling the altitude. Trekking time: Approx. 5-6 hours. OVERNIGHT:. Dughla trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
Having acclimatised well to the altitude and gained some extra fitness on the way up, the trekking feels much easier now as you descend back down the trail towards Lukla. The next three days are flexible and we'll stop at lodges en-route based on how far we feel comfortable walking each day. You'll make regular stops to look back at the high peaks you've come so close to, and the views in front of you and up the side valleys also look and feel very different in this direction. Trekking time: Approx. 5-6 hours. OVERNIGHT:. Pheriche / Pangboche trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
We continue our descent today, arriving back into Namche Bazaar with its welcome shops, hot water and services. You can even access the internet again here and send messages to update friends and family back home on your progress. Trekking time: Approx. 5-6 hours. OVERNIGHT:. Namche Bazaar trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
Our trek finishes today with the long walk back down from Namche Bazaar to Lukla. As a final treat, there's a steep climb up to Lukla to finish. Trekking time: Approx. 8-9 hours. OVERNIGHT:. Lukla trekking lodge. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
This morning we catch the flight from Lukla back to Kathmandu, where we transfer you to your city centre hotel. The rest of the day is free. You can also arrange some tours with your local guide today if you've chosen to add extra nights in Kathmandu. OVERNIGHT:. Kathmandu hotel. MEALS:. None. EXTRAS:. None
We've reached the end of our Everest tour in Nepal. Your last day in Kathmandu is free for you to catch up on some last minute souvenir shopping and exploring before we transfer you to the airport for your flight home. As delays and/or cancellations can occasionally occur on flights from Lukla, we strongly recommend adding at least 1 extra night post-tour in Kathmandu. OVERNIGHT:. N/A. MEALS:. Breakfast. EXTRAS:. Everest Mountain Flight. Bardia National Park Extension. Trisuli white water rafting. Panauti Community Homestay Extension - 1 Night post-tour. Extra day in Kathmandu - post-tour
