Day 11 : Everest Base Camp Trek Upgraded Lodges And Helicopter Return From Gorekshep

Location: Khumbu

Day 01: Arrival at Kathmandu Airport

Upon your arrival at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport, you'll be greeted by a representative who will transfer you to your hotel. Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, is a bustling hub of culture, history, and activity. After settling into your hotel, you can rest or take a stroll around Thamel, the vibrant tourist district filled with shops, cafes, and restaurants. It’s a good idea to relax and prepare for the upcoming adventure. Check your trekking gear to ensure everything is in order, as you can buy or rent any missing items in Kathmandu.

Day 02: Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla (2860m) and trek to Phakding (2610m)

The day begins early with a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, a small town perched at an altitude of 2,860 meters. The flight itself is an adventure, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayan range. Upon landing at Lukla's Tenzing-Hillary Airport, you’ll meet your trekking team and begin your trek to Phakding. The trek to Phakding is relatively easy, taking around 3 to 4 hours. The trail descends through pine and cedar forests, following the Dudh Koshi River. You'll pass through small villages and encounter local Sherpas, giving you a taste of the rich culture and hospitality of the region.

Day 03: Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3446m)

After breakfast in Phakding, you’ll set out on a longer trek to Namche Bazaar, the main trading hub of the Khumbu region. The trail takes you over suspension bridges, through dense forests, and past numerous small villages. One of the highlights of this day is crossing the iconic Hillary Suspension Bridge. As you gain altitude, the path becomes steeper, and you'll need to pace yourself to adjust to the increasing elevation. The trek takes about 6 to 7 hours. Upon reaching Namche Bazaar, you’ll notice it’s a vibrant town with shops, cafes, and a lively market. It’s a great place to rest and acclimate to the higher altitude.

Day 04: Acclimatization Day - Visit Khumjung Village, Stay at Hotel Everest View (B/L/D)

Acclimatization is crucial to prevent altitude sickness, so this day is dedicated to getting used to the higher elevation. You’ll take a short hike to Khumjung Village and the nearby Hotel Everest View, which stands at 3,880 meters. This hike helps your body adjust to the altitude while offering stunning views of Everest and other peaks. Khumjung Village is home to the famous Khumjung Monastery, which is said to house a yeti scalp. The Hotel Everest View provides panoramic vistas of Everest, making it an excellent spot for photography and relaxation and Overnight at Hotel Everest view.

Day 05: Trek from Hotel Everest View to Diboche (3820m) (B/L/D)

Leaving Hotel Everest view you’ll trek towards Diboche, passing through the serene forested trails and enjoying views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The trail initially climbs to Tengboche, where you can visit the renowned Tengboche Monastery, the largest gompa in the Khumbu region. This monastery is a spiritual center for the Sherpa people and offers a tranquil setting with magnificent mountain views. After exploring Tengboche, you’ll descend through rhododendron forests to reach Diboche. The trek takes about 4 to 5 hours.

Day 06: Trek from Diboche to Dingboche (4360m) (B/L/D)

The journey from Diboche to Dingboche involves trekking through a more arid and rugged landscape. You’ll pass through the village of Pangboche, which has the oldest monastery in the Khumbu region. The trail continues with gradual ascents and descents, following the Imja Khola River. As you approach Dingboche, you’ll notice the change in scenery, with fewer trees and more open fields surrounded by towering peaks. The trek takes around 5 to 6 hours. Dingboche is a picturesque village that offers a good resting spot for acclimatization, with plenty of teahouses and lodges.

Day 07: Acclimatization day in Dingboche (B/L/D)

Another acclimatization day is planned in Dingboche to help your body adjust to the altitude. You can take short hikes around the village, such as a trek to Nagarjun Hill or a walk to the Chukhung Valley. These hikes offer spectacular views of Makalu, Lhotse, and other surrounding peaks. It’s important to take it easy and not overexert yourself. Enjoy the serene environment, interact with fellow trekkers, and soak in the Himalayan beauty.

Day 08: Trek from Dingboche to Lobuche (4910m) (B/L/D)

From Dingboche, you’ll trek to Lobuche, passing through alpine meadows and yak pastures. The trail gradually ascends, and you’ll pass the memorials at Thukla Pass, dedicated to climbers who lost their lives on Everest. This part of the trek is more challenging due to the higher altitude and rocky terrain. The views become increasingly dramatic as you get closer to the base of the Khumbu Glacier. The trek to Lobuche takes about 5 to 6 hours. Lobuche is a small settlement with a few teahouses, where you’ll spend the night.

Day 09: Trek from Lobuche to Everest Base Camp (5360m) and then to Gorakshep (5160m) (B/L/D)

This is one of the most exciting and demanding days of the trek. You’ll start early and trek towards Everest Base Camp (EBC), the ultimate destination. The trail is rugged and crosses glacial moraines. As you approach EBC, you’ll see tents of expeditions during the climbing season. Standing at the base camp, you’ll have a sense of achievement and can take in the surroundings, with the Khumbu Icefall and towering peaks around. After spending some time at EBC, you’ll trek back to Gorakshep, a small settlement with basic accommodations. This day’s trek takes about 6 to 7 hours.

Day 10: Trek from Gorakshep to Kalapatthar (5545m) and fly back to Kathmandu by helicopter (B/D)
