Everest Base Camp Nepal

Duration: 35 min (flight to Lukla) + 3 hours (trek to Phakding):
Distance: 7 km trek
We take a quick flight up to the trailhead before starting the walk on this day. Proceed to Tribhuvan Domestic Airport in Kathmandu after breakfast to catch our aircraft to Lukla. One of the highlights of this walk might easily be the 35-minute fly over the mountains in the Khumbu Region, which offers some of the most beautiful views in Nepal. The view out the window on these little planes is something you won’t soon forget if you score a seat on the left side. Only flights or foot travel are available to get to Lukla, a little town without a road.The first day of hiking must be formally started by walking directly from the airport across the village’s cobblestone sidewalk and into the woodland route. You must produce the first of our two permits at the checkpoint just before leaving the settlement, so have them close at hand. Today’s hike is straightforward; it lasts for three hours and begins with a 300-meter descent before gradually ascending 100 metres to reach Phakding, the overnight rest stop. Numerous mani walls painted on the trail’s rock walls and boulders with Tibetan Buddhist prayer inscriptions must be passed along the route. Along the route, there are a lot of prayer wheels as well. The first night of their trek, tourists will stay at a tea house in Phakding.

Duration: 6-7 hours, Distance: 11 km
From now on, it’s business as usual because today is the first day of this trek’s encounters with challenging terrain. The Dudh Kosi will be your first major river to cross, and you’ll do it twice on the tall suspension bridges that make Everest Base Camp Nepal treks so well-known. The route follows the river and repeatedly crosses the distinctive local Buddhist stones as it ascends and descends in short, repetitive steps. The hamlet of Monjo, which serves as the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park, is where you will make a lunch break. You should now hand over the second of our two licences. As you exit the park, you descend down a large wall covered in Tibetan prayers painted to the sky to the Bhote Kosi River and Jorsalle hamlet. The fun really starts here. The route becomes higher and passes through lush woodlands after one more promenade along the riverbed that resembles a beach. You eventually cross the last suspension bridge of the day, which hangs breathtakingly high over a gorge that is rapidly narrowing. From here, you must climb 600M through a densely wooded area to reach Namche Bazaar, the commercial and administrative centre of the Khumbu district. At the rest stop along the journey, if the weather is clear, you could catch your first glimpse of Everest. Tea house accommodation for the night in Namche Bazaar.

Duration: 6-7 hours, Distance: 10-11 km
At 3,860 metres above sea level, Tengboche is a tiny valley. We begin our picturesque journey between the two towns by travelling through Namche on a road built with stones that runs alongside a creek. The panorama is dominated by Thamserku, a stunning peak rising to 6,608 metres, with Ama Dablam, one of the strangest-shaped mountains, farther up the valley. The south faces of Lhotse and Nuptse, which narrow the valley in front of you, meet at a ridge, and Everest is visible above it. The track consists of brief ascents and brief descents, just long enough for you to catch your breath before the next short ascent. By midday, you will arrive at your stop-hold for the day.

Duration: 5-6 hours
You’ll set out for your trip this morning early, cross the ridge to the other side, and then immediately enter a birch and rhododendron woodland. Lower Pangboche is around 4 km away from here; with a rise in elevation of about 260M, you should be there in less than 2 hours. The sprawling settlement of Pangboche is located just under the majestic Ama Dablam and provides some of the most breathtaking views of the mountain, making it the ideal place to stop for a rest. You either pause for tea or go right to lunch, depending on what time you arrive. From this point on, Everest is no longer visible until you reach the high reaches of the Khumbu Valley. Throughout your hike today, you will pass by several renowned peaks; don’t forget to ask your local guide about them whenever you spot a new peak peeking out from behind at a change in the scenery. The Lobuche River is on your left. After passing across several moraines, Dingboche may be seen. The south face of Lhotse (8,516 metres), which dominates the view, is one of the magnificent sites this huge community has to offer. Don’t forget to watch the sunset from this lovely spot.

Duration: 3 hours, Distance: 5 km
The trek’s shortest day is today, and it seems easier following yesterday’s rest day at Dingboche. Some of the nicest views on this route may be seen along the flat trek to Dughla, which also provides a breathtaking perspective of the Khumbu Glacier’s wall. You will see the majestic Mount Pumori (7,138m) and a glacier lake with vivid colours on your right. Remember to bring enough supplies of refreshment and water for today as there are no tea establishments or water sources between these two destinations.

Duration: 3.5 hours
You begin your trip today in the direction of Lobuche, which is located close to the Khumbu glacier. The first portion of the journey is challenging as you make the arduous ascent to Dughla Pass or Thukla Pass before continuing on to Lobuche. If it’s any consolation, the brief but incredibly steep ascent gives some of the trek’s most unforgettable vistas. The trail is mainly level after the pass, so you will spend some time there before continuing on to Lobuche.

Duration: 7 – 8 hours
Up to Gorakshep, the path features several ups and downs, the majority of which are humps on the iconic Khumbu Glacier’s moraines. After eating once you get in Gorakshep, you will immediately go to travel to Everest Base Camp, which is located at the start of the enormous Khumbu Glacier. The route follows a glacier with breathtaking views of Mounts Pumori and Nuptse to your right and left, respectively. From the base camp, you get a clear-as-day view of the Khumbu icefall, which should motivate you to improve your trekking skills. The experience of being surrounded by giants is almost unbelievable as you come face to face with some of the largest mountains in Everest Base Camp Nepal and the entire globe during this part of the journey. To reach Everest Base Camp, you must briefly trek on the Khumbu glacier, which gives you a small taste of what it must be like to ascend this enormous mountain. Before returning to Gorakshep on the same path, you will spend some time at the base camp taking in the scenery.

Duration: 7 – 8 hours
The trek’s most thrilling day is today. With breathtaking vistas, it is everything you have been secretly anticipating the entire time. It will take some work for you to get to Kala Patthar, but it is a site kind enough to provide you the best views of Everest on this entire journey. One of the toughest but most worthwhile treks is to the top of Kala Patthar. After the walk to Kala Patthar, it is simple to see why Everest is the peak that people are most interested in climbing and why this has happened throughout history. In fact, Kala Patthar is the only location from which you can get views of practically the whole Khumbu Range’s high peak mountains, which is why making the trek there is so motivational. From Gorakshep, it takes around 3 hours to go to Kala Patthar. Since there is nothing to stop the violent gusts, it is impossible to spend much time on the summit.
The only way to get to Pheriche from Kala Patthar is to descend. It should take roughly 4 hours to descend over 1,300 metres. On the Dhudhkoshi River’s bank, in a level valley, is the town of Pheriche.

Because of the breathtaking scenery you saw on day 10, today’s modest hike is made easier. Before Tengboche and after Phungi Thanga, there are a few smatterings of climb.

The final day of your walk in the breathtaking Khumbu area must be enjoyed. You may more fully appreciate the beauty of this well-traveled route by walking along it without having to worry about getting used to it. This is a stroll in the park when there is no urgency to go anyplace

On the last day of the journey, you’ll board a stunning aircraft to return to Kathmandu. waving tearful goodbye to the lovely mountains once more. Finally, you will arrive at Kathmandu airport and be taken to the appropriate hotel.
