After you arrive in Kathmandu, Our representative will greet you and explain the itinerary further. There are no planned activities for the day, so check into the hotel. Enjoy your overnight stay at the hotel.

Early morning today, you’ll head to the airport for your Lukla flight. The flight to Lukla is a lifetime experience in itself. After landing, you’ll trek to Phakding along green landscapes and a view of Kusum Kangraru.

Note: Flights will be operated via Ramechhap during the peak season, from the end of March to early May in the spring season, and from late September to the end of November in the autumn season. Ramechhap is 142 km away, a 4-hour drive. We will need to depart from Kathmandu at 2 AM for the flight to Lukla.

Today, you follow the Dudh Koshi River, and ascend through the pine and cedar forests, to the famous village of Namche Bazaar. You will spend two days at Namche for acclimatization, where you can visit the local markets, and spend time with your team. During the hike, you’ll capture your first glimpses of the Everest and surrounding peaks.

This day is especially sectioned for acclimatization. We will hike to Syangboche Airport (3700m), supposed to be the highest airport in the world, then continue climbing to Everest View Hotel for great panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Amadablam, Tawache, etc. On the way back, we visit the Sherpa Culture Museum and Everest Photo Gallery.

The trail is easy in the beginning up to Kyangjuma & climbs steeply out of the valley through rhododendron forests. It gives way to the fragrance of juniper and conifers as the elevation increases. This trek is especially beautiful in spring when the rhododendrons are in full bloom.

The trails pass through Kharkas, which is a summer settlement used by Sherpas bringing herds of yaks to graze in these high pastures. The route passes through the settlements of Tongba (3950m) and Gyele (3960m) to Dole. The views of Khumbila and Tawache are incredible throughout the trek.

Today, this trail climbs up to Lambara at (4220m) and Luza at (4360m). The trail is steep in most places as it climbs through juniper plants. The trail continues to climb along the side of the valley, high above the river, to Machhermo.

Today, you’ll climb a ridge for an excellent view of both valleys to Kantega and towards Cho-Oyu (8201m). After crossing the ridge the valley becomes wide as the trail passes through Pangka at (4390m).

The route then descends to the riverbank before beginning the climb to the Ngozumpa Glacier. It's a steep climb up the moraine, alongside the stream to the first small Lake.

You wake up early and climb up to the Gokyo-Ri, for the panoramic view of Mahalangur Himalayan range. It takes a few hours to climb to the top of the peak, providing a 360-degree view of Cho-Oyu, Gyachung Kang, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and Cholatse.

Also witness the Mesmerizing Ngozumpa glacier, the largest glacier in Nepal.

We start our trek from Gokyo to Lunden via Renjo La Pass early in the morning, reaching an elevation of 5,360 meters. As you ascend, you'll be treated to the most beautiful and exciting day of the journey, with panoramic views that include the Gokyo Lakes, Mount Everest, and other towering peaks.

Upon reaching the pass, take a moment to savor the vistas before descending into the remote northern valley, reminiscent of Tibetan landscapes.

We conclude our journey in Lunden, surrounded by solitude and stunning natural beauty.

After breakfast, you’ll descend down to Thame for more amazing snow-clad peaks. You may also witness a Tibetan trader encampments along the way for pictures of a rare lifestyle. You’ll also get a chance to visit Thame Monastery, a picturesque monastery, set amongst on the side of a hill overlooking the valley. This is the site for the spring celebration of the Mani Rimdu festival, held in the middle of May each year.

We will continue our trek, following the flat terrain before descending to our first resting place, Thamo, and then heading towards Namche Bazaar. The trek back is terrific. You will have completed a circuit upon arriving at Namche.

Today marks the last day of our trek. We'll depart Namche in the morning and retrace our steps to Lukla via Jorsalle, Monjo, Phakding, and Choplung, concluding our trek. Upon reaching Lukla, you'll have time to relax and recover in your guesthouse as we prepare to bid farewell to the majestic landscape.
