On this day, we board the flight to get to Lukla where we savor the landscapes and the scenic beauty we get to witness from the plane’s window. We reach Lukla in less than thirty minutes and then take a light breakfast and some rest. After this, we start our trekking journey. We reach Phakding village within the hours (approximately). We stay here overnight at a guesthouse.

We trek at the great Namche Bazaar, following the ever-silky and flowing Dudh Koshi River and ascending through the great forests of Himalayan deodar and pine trees. Upon a great walk, we reach Namche, a historic trading hub for Nepalese and Tibetan traders exchanging goods such as salt and meat. Overnight will be done through the guesthouse in Namche Bazaar.

On this day, we do not trek a lot because this day is separated for acclimatization. We can trek to the twin villages namely the Khude and Khumjung where we can eat lunch. We can also visit the bakery stores at Khumjung. We can hike up to the Everest View Hotel to relish the amazing mountain views. We trek for around five hours and then return to Namche where we stay for the night at a guesthouse.

Our trekking path moves along the raging water of the river, Dudh Koshi. We scale the altitude of around 3860 meters to reach Tengboche. In the monastery, we will witness beautiful wall hangings, Buddhist sculptures along with Lamas’ musical instrument. We can go to observing the prayer ceremony in the morning or evening. Overnight stay here.

We ascend up to reach higher elevation so watch out for any feeling of uneasiness in this altitude. First, we reach the Somare (4010 meters) and Orsho villages. We go up to Pheriche and then have an upward, steep climb till Dingboche where we stay overnight at a lodge.

Before we scale higher altitude, we spend some time adjusting to the elevation. We have the choice to hike till Chukkung valley (4730 meters) and then to the Island Peak (Imja Tes). We can have a short hike till Nagkartshang Gompa which will take around two or three hours. Or, we can move to Pheriche to attend the lecture on altitude sickness.

From Chukkung, we reach Bibr (4570 meters). Bibr has amazing peaks that surround it. We can witness the Nuptse, Taboche, Lhotse, the amazing Amphu Laptsa pass along with Ama Dablam here. Chukkung has to offer comfortable lodges which provide nice views of the island peak. If you feel acclimatized enough, we can move to the Chukkung RI peak (5550 meters) to see the Makalu

After a hearty breakfast, we walk along the path that takes us to Dugla. We move up to the steep moraine of the glacier of Khumbu and then walk across the slopes as we climb up the Chupki Lhara we will see colourful prayer flags that mark the loss of lives of mountaineers who tried to ascend the 

Everest. The trail moves along the Khumbu Glacier moraine and then we can witness the marvellous views of the Pumori, Lingtren, Khumbutse, and the Mahalangur mountain. Overnight stay at Lobuche inclusive of breakfast, lunch as well as dinner.

On this day, we trek to the Everest Base Camp en route Gorak Shep Lake. We come across the memorial of many Indian army mountaineers and we walk along a steep path which can feel very strenuous as the altitude rises. We walk rocky dunes, pristine streams as well as moraine. We will get to see the tents of many mountaineers as we reach the Base Camp and we will witness the panoramic view of the Nuptse, Pumori and Khumbutse peaks. We retrace our steps back to Gorak Shep after having a marvellous time here. Overnight stay at Gorak Shep.

All the three main meals; breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided.

We leave Gorak Shep first thing in the morning. As we move ahead, we will be greeted by the panorama of the Khumbutse, Lingtren, and Chagntse peaks along with the mighty Everest slowly unveiling itself. As we step on Kala Patthar viewpoint, we will see the Mount Everest at very close proximity. We have the time of our lives here and then head to Pangboche for the night.

We follow the old trail to get back to Namche Bazaar; we descend down from Tengboche (3860 meters)  to reach the Namche Bazaar town.

This day marks the final day of our trekking journey to the Everest Base Camp.  We can take time to reflect on the journey as a team and the achievements made. You can use the leisure time in the afternoon to explore the nearby surroundings or just relax and enjoy a hot shower.  To mark the completion of the journey successfully, we celebrate with drinks and fun dances with the companions of the journey.
