Trip Overview
Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most challenging and adventurous treks of the Nepal. This trek takes us through high altitudes, rocky tracks and some steep inclination to reach the base of the roof of the world i.e. Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world. Far from the technological advancement, hustling and bustling of the city, daily luxuries, you’ll find yourself being closer to the Mother Nature and feel enchanted with its beauty. Your trek to Everest Base Camp at 5,364m (over 3.5 miles!) to the base of the world's tallest mountain and the journey will bring you over suspension bridges spanning chasms of thin air, through hidden Buddhist monasteries, and into the heart of the warm, rugged Sherpa culture.
The 12-day EBC Trek itinerary is designed for beginner trekkers who are in good health with average physical fitness. The ample distance covered between daily itineraries, steady gain of altitude and separate rest days ensures that we are properly acclimatized to fully enjoy our trek to the Everest base camp. We get to enjoy the merry villages of Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche and many more. Let your spirit soar in the vast snowy pastures and boulder-covered river valleys of the Khumbu. Similarly, bask in the radiating glory of the panoramic view of the entire Mount Everest massif from the famous vantage point of Kalapatthar.
Itinerary
+-
Upon arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport, you will be taken to the hotel. After the resting you will be provided with the briefing off the overall tour.
We will take an early flight from Kathmandu to Lukla. The Lukla flight is one of the most dramatic short flights in the world. The Lukla Airport itself is located on a hill and contains a single runway that drops off towards its end to the deep gaping valley below. From Lukla our hiking starts with an easy walk through Chaurikharka village and descending towards Dudhkoshi Ghat (2,530m/8,300ft). The trail follows the bank of the Dudhkoshi River until Phakding (2,652m/8,700ft) where we will be staying overnight.
After breakfast, we will have three hours walk to the Monzo at 2,835 m which is an entrance place of the Sagarmatha National Park. We pass through area of rhododendron, blue pine forest and more which is really superb experience especially during the spring. After crossing a suspension bridge, we pass Jorsale village and walk alongside of the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers and finally reach Namche Bazaar. Namche Bazaar, because of its strategic location, is the commercial hub of the Khumbu region. It is located on a mountain side and views of the Thamserku Peak and the Kongdi RI Himal from here are amazing. Overnight stay at Namche Bazaar.
At this point, we will take a well-deserved break! Today will be spent resting and allowing our bodies to become acclimatized to the lofty altitude. We can either opt to do a small hike of 2 hours to Everest View Point or we can laze around the Namche Bazaar and stroll around through its cafes, restaurants colorful museums etc. overnight at Namche Bazaar.
We will today descend down through the Khumjung community and move to the major path to Everest at Shanasa. We will walk further to Trashinga and then move down to go across the Dudh Koshi at Phunkitenga (3,250 m.). We can see the magnificent view of the Everest from here. The village off Tengbiche is famous for its Tengboche monastery which is the biggest monastery of the Khumbu region. The monastery is a hamlet from where the sight of Mount Ama Dablam, Mount Everest and numerous other peaks are beautiful to look at. Overnight stay at Tengboche.
Today our hiking will begin by slightly descending through the forest of birch, juniper, fir and rhododendron at Debuche. Here we only steady way up but due to the elevation we have to speed ourselves increasingly all the way through the day. While trekking we can admire good views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. Dingboche is called the “Summer Valley” of the Khumbu and contains a kilometer long wall built to protect the village’s crops from the cold winds that descends down the Imja Valley. Overnight stay at Dingboche.
To get used to the steady rise of the altitude, we will spend a day in Dingboche. A hike to Nagerjun is a great way to spend time at Dingboche. Nagerjun is located at the height of 5100 meters and lies just above Dingboche on a hill at the edges of the Chhukung valley. Overnight stay at Dingboche.
From here on forth, the trek will move more gradually be more challenging, due to the higher altitude. Today is another beautiful walk where mountains like Cholatse, Lobuche and Pumari unfolds before us in this contrasting and spectacular landscape. As the trail drops to the Khumbu Glacier moraine, we find ourselves facing several great peaks including Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori and Mahalangur Himal.
The trail follows windy and rocky path with crest of north ridge to Everest along with Mt. Pumori, Mahalangur, Lingtern, Khumbutse, Nuptse, etc. Trail continues along side of Khumbu Glacier to Gorakshep. You can feel the buzz and excitement of the place, packed with potential future summiteers of Everest! After the strolling around the base camp area we will descend later that day down the same ridge back to Gorak Shep for some much-earned rest and sleep. Overnight stay in Gorakshep
The trail climbs 2/3 hrs. up to Kala Patthar (5545 m/18192 ft) early in the morning to see first day sun light from top of the world (Mt. Everest) which is simply breathtaking. However, we need to be prepared for trekking in the dark and cold temperature (the temperature varies according to the season). Furthermore, there is always a chance for chilly winds which are quite common. We take pictures, enjoy the magnificent mountain panorama, and then return back to Pheriche for a good night's rest.
We will trek down through the hillside blanketed by rhododendron and juniper trees. After crossing the prayer-flag festooned bridge over the Dudh Koshi River, our trail follows the Dudh Koshi gorge descending rapidly through pine forests. We also pass winding trails then through a forest before reaching Namche Bazaar. Overnight in Namche Bazaar.
We will walk through rhododendron and pine forests with the view of distance snow covered peak before arriving Phakding and then to Lukla This will be our last night on the mountain, which can be bittersweet. Overnight stay in Lukla.
In the morning, you'll hop a brief flight from Lukla to Kathmandu, where your journey both began and ends. You will be transferre to your hotel, where you can have a nice room wiht good hot shower and take your time relaxing.
