Startpunt
Kathmandu, Bagmati, Nepal
You will start off with a flight to one of the world’s most exciting airports, Lukla Airport in Solukhumbu. The flight takes you over the Himalayas, giving you a breathtaking panorama view of the Himalayas, including the famous Mt. Everest, standing there with its snow-clad peak in all its glory. Landing at Lukla Airport is going to be a lifetime experience in itself.
In the afternoon, you can stroll around Lukla. Lukla village is a popular place to visit in the Khumbu area. It is the starting point for all hiking trips in the Everest region.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
Your trek begins in Lukla along the Dudh Koshi (Milky River), which makes its way into the distance. You will be surrounded by lush greenery as you stroll through a rhododendron forest, with the scent of evergreen oak filling the air. As you ascend, the sight of snow-capped peaks emerges, indicating that the journey ahead will become more challenging.
Along the way, you'll see snow-fed rivers winding through the landscape. After crossing a suspension bridge and passing by several Buddhist stupas, you'll arrive at Mongo, which marks the beginning of an adventure that will test your mental and physical endurance.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
The treks will begin relatively easy but become more difficult over time. You will catch your first glimpse of Everest as you cross the mighty Dudh Koshi. The trail will lead you to Manjo, where you can stop for lunch. The next section of the trail will be more difficult. As we get closer to Namche, the treks become steeper and higher in elevation, causing shortness of breath.
You should not rush but rather move slowly and steadily. You'll make a stop at Namche Bazaar for the night. It is bustling with activity, and people from the Solukhumbu region come together there to conduct business. Shops, restaurants, hotels, banks, and internet services allow you to stay in touch with your loved ones back home. Namche Bazaar provides an intriguing glimpse into how the people of the region live.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
Namche Bazaar is also called the Sherpa Capital. You can spend your time acclimating, relaxing, and exploring the surrounding areas. Most trekkers prefer getting up before dawn to take in the breathtaking views of Mount Everest, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, and other majestic peaks in Sagarmatha National Park. One can see the shadow of the mountains being pan-projected onto the clouds above and truly appreciate their size.
Try salt-butter tea and champa, a kind of barley that is popular among the Sherpas in the area, as a source of energy. The lively cultural Saturday market is worth a visit, and it's usually packed with traders desperate to sell what they have to offer.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
On day six of your Everest Base Camp Trek, you'll travel from Namche Bazaar to Tengboche. This part of the trek has one of the most difficult climbs in terms of elevation gain, climbing approximately 4,000 feet (1,200 meters). However, the effort is unquestionably rewarded with breathtaking views of the Everest Mountain Range, making this one of the most memorable and rewarding parts of the entire trek.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
You will travel from Tengboche to Dingboche and spend a spectacular day immersed in natural beauty. Trekking through the valley offers breathtaking views of the glacier river below and the majestic snow-capped peaks in the distance. Along the way, you'll pass through the charming village of Pangboche and catch a glimpse of the iconic Ama Dablam mountain, adding to the highlights of your Nepal hiking trip.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
We begin our trek, following the trail to Everest Base Camp. The steep ascent from Thukla to Memorial Park is the most difficult section of the Everest Base Camp trekking route. Along this stretch, you'll see breathtaking views of nature's beauty, with numerous prayer flags decorating the landscape in honor of brave mountaineers. We'll spend the night in Lobuche, the EBC trail's second-highest village.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
Because of the climate at that elevation, the trail to Gorakshep is sparse. Along the way, the trail will be covered in snow. From this high viewpoint, you will have breathtaking panoramic views of Mt. Everest and its surrounding peaks.
We've arrived in Gorakshep and are ready for some well-deserved rest. However, if you are feeling energetic, you can also visit Kala Patthar on the same day for a breathtaking sunset view of the Himalayas.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
Our next stop is Kala Patthar, standing at 5450 meters (Kala means black, Patthar means rock), followed by a visit to Everest Base Camp. You'll see nature at its most magnificent and unspoiled, with breathtaking views of Mount Everest and the Khumbu Glacier Valley. After the demanding trek, we'll return to Gorakshep, where you can eat and hopefully find some warmth for a good night's rest.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
The plan is to trek back to Namche Bazaar. The trail descends to the Dudh Kosi, where you'll see a variety of water-powered prayer wheels. You'll return to Sagarmatha National Park after walking through pine and cedarwood-lined paths. Along the way, you'll catch glimpses of the majestic Lhotse-Nuptse Wall and Mount Everest from behind. Take a moment to appreciate the surreal scenery. After a few hours of trekking, you'll arrive in Namche and spend the night.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
The trail descends and crosses the Dudh Kosi, passing a number of water-powered prayer wheels. Trekking back through Sagarmatha National Park along paths surrounded by pine and cedarwoods, you'll eventually arrive at Chumoa Village, a picturesque spot for lunch. Continue along the riverside until you reach Phakding. You should have no trouble breathing at this point.
As you make your way towards Lukla, the fading sight of distant snowy peaks signals the end of the most difficult part of the journey and the beginning of a thrilling adventure that has tested your limits. After hiking for hours through a lovely rhododendron forest with the Dudh Koshi (Milky River) winding around you, you'll reach Lukla. Here, you can relax and immerse yourself in the local culture.
Accommodation: an overnight stay at a local lodge.
The flight back to Kathmandu departs before 10:00 a.m. The scheduled flight time may change depending on weather conditions. When you arrive back in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to your hotel, where you will spend the day relaxing and reflecting on your trip.
Accommodation: an overnight stay in Hotel Yatri Suites & Spa or a similar one.
Your trip will come to an end today. Our representative will pick you up with a private van and drop you off at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport approximately three hours before your scheduled flight back to your home or other destination.
