Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek

As you arrive at the Tribhuvan International Airport, a representative from the Nepal Hiking Team greets and welcomes you. The designated representative assists you in the transfer to a 5-star hotel and briefly describes the following Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek.

Your day begins with a morning flight to Lukla, departing from either Kathmandu Domestic Airport or Manthali Airport in Ramechhap, depending on the season of your travel.

From Lukla, the trek begins with a gradual descent to Cheplung village, offering a glimpse of Mount Khumbi Yul Lha in the distance—a sacred peak that has never been climbed. After reaching Phakding, you'll enjoy lunch and then continue with a slow ascent to Monjo.

Please Note: Lukla flights will be operated via Ramechhap/Manthali Airport from September to November and March to May due to air traffic congestion at TIA; Ramechap is 132 km from Kathmandu, requiring a 4-hour drive, with departure at 2:00 am. If you wish to avoid the drive, you can upgrade to a helicopter flight, which departs directly from Kathmandu.

Today, you start your journey by entering the Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nepal. Then, you come across the small village of Jorsalle before the popular suspension bridge on the Everest Route, Tenzing Hillary Bridge.

As you cross the Hillary Bridge, you reach Namche Bazaar after a while, which is the largest Sherpa Village in the Khumbu region. While hiking, if you are lucky, you can get a small peep of Everest before Namche.

Today, you stay at Namche for an acclimatization day. You spend your day hiking around and exploring the culturally rich village.

You start your hike to the Everest View Hotel, where you can get stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The hotel is even recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the highest placed Luxury hotel.

If you intend to extend the hike, you can visit Khumjung village, where you can find the 2nd oldest Monastery in the Everest region, Samten Chholing Gompa. The monastery is primarily famous for the Sherpa Festivals and believed to have preserved a Yeti skull. The village is situated under Khumbi Yul Lha Peak, a sacred peak for the Sherpa people.

Furthermore, you can visit the National Park Headquarters. The place also provides beautiful mountain views. After that, we strongly suggest you visit the Sherpa Culture Museum and photo gallery. The museum provides a brief insight into the inspiring stories of the Everest expeditions and the Sherpa people.

Today, the hiking is aimed towards Deboche. Along the way, you pass the beautiful villages of Kyangjuma, Phungi Tenga, and Tengboche.

While hiking, you can get stunning views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Kangtega, and Thamserku. You can visit Tengboche Monastery, a spiritual hub, and the Largest Monastery in the Khumbu region along the route.

Today, as you start the hike, you come across Pangboche, which has the oldest Monastery in the Khumbu region, Pal Rilbu Gompa (Pangboche Monastery). You can get striking views of the Ama Dablam until you reach to Pangboche.

Then, as you move forward, the terrain starts to change. You can witness the roaring Imja River and might even see Himalayan Tahr and Big Yaks. After that, you pass by the small villages like Somare and Orsho before finally reaching Dingboche.

Today is the 2nd acclimatization day of the Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek. This day, you hike to the Nangkartshang Peak (5,083m). The trail is steep, but the reward is worth hiking. You can witness the 5th highest mountain, Mt. Makalu, only from this point on Everest luxury Trek.

So, don’t miss out on this opportunity that serves you with a breathtaking mountain panoramic view while letting your body acclimate. The visible mountains are Mt. Makalu, Ama Dablam, Lobuche, Lhotse, and Cholatse.

Today, as you continue your journey, you come across the Thukla pass (also known as the Dughla pass), one of the sentimental parts of the journey. There are memorial shrines of brave mountain climbers who have passed away on the Everest Expedition process.

After you pass the ridge and cross the grassy and rocky terrain, you reach your destination, Lobuche.

Today’s trek includes a short climb through meadows leading to a viewpoint of the Khumbu Glacier. With your gradual ascend, you reach Gorakshep where you leave your belongings and move to the Everest Base Camp Trek.

While there isn’t much elevation gain, the trail is full of ups and downs, and the altitude can make it challenging. However, the views of the Khumbu Glacier and icefall, where Everest expeditions begin, are truly rewarding.

Early in the morning, you hike up to Kala Patthar, the best vantage point for panoramic views of Mount Everest, Nuptse, Chagatse, Lhotse, and Pumori. After soaking in the views, you return to Gorakshep and then descend to Pheriche via Lobuche.

Following the Imja River, the trek takes you through Tengboche and down to Phungki Thanka. You pass Kyangjuma on your way back to Namche. Today, you can choose to explore the village and enjoy the delicacies of the Bazaar.

Today’s trek involves a steep descent, crossing suspension bridges adorned with prayer flags over the Dudh Koshi River. You pass by the villages of Monjo, Toktok, Phakding, Thado Koashigaon, and Chheplung.

Then, as you reach Lukla, you can relax and celebrate the completion of your Everest Base Camp Luxury trek.

We take a flight to Ramechhap and then take a four-hour drive to Kathmandu, or we may fly directly back to Kathmandu, depending on the time of our travel.

Our airport representative will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport approximately 3 hours before your scheduled flight, marking the end of your journey with See you Next Time!

Note: We recommend including one day for jet lag recovery before the trek and a buffer day in Kathmandu for potential flight delays from Lukla. This will help ensure a smoother experience. We offer guided tours if you're interested, either before or after the trek.
