Day-by-Day Itinerary
A detailed look at each day of your Everest Base Camp adventure. Every itinerary is crafted to balance trekking, acclimatization, and cultural experiences.
Kathmandu — Arrival & Briefing
Arrive in Kathmandu. Meet your guide and fellow trekkers at the welcome briefing. Gear check, permit verification, and a traditional Nepali dinner to kick off the adventure.
Fly to Lukla — Trek to Phakding
Take the spectacular mountain flight to Lukla (2,840m) and begin the trek with a gentle walk to Phakding (2,610m). Pass through pine forests and cross your first suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi river.
Phakding to Namche Bazaar
Trek to the legendary Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar (3,440m). The trail follows the river valley before a steep climb to Namche, where you get your first glimpse of Everest on a clear day.
Acclimatization Day in Namche
A critical rest day for altitude adjustment. Explore Namche's bustling market, visit the Sherpa Culture Museum, or take a short hike to the Everest View Hotel for stunning panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam.
Namche to Tengboche
Trek through rhododendron forests to Tengboche (3,867m), home to the largest monastery in the Khumbu region. The afternoon offers spectacular views of Everest, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam from the monastery grounds.
Tengboche to Dingboche
Continue climbing through thinning forests into the alpine zone. Arrive at Dingboche (4,358m) in a wide valley flanked by towering peaks. The landscape shifts dramatically from lush forest to high-altitude desert.
Acclimatization Day in Dingboche
Another essential rest day. Optional hike to Nangkartshang Peak (5,083m) for incredible 360-degree views of Island Peak, Makalu, and the Lhotse wall. Your guide monitors everyone's health and acclimatization progress.
Dingboche to Lobuche
Trek past the memorial cairns at Thukla Pass to Lobuche (4,928m). The trail traverses the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. The air is noticeably thinner now and the pace deliberately slower.
Lobuche to Gorak Shep — Everest Base Camp
The big day. Trek to Gorak Shep (5,164m), drop your bags, and make the final push to Everest Base Camp (5,364m). Stand where mountaineering legends have stood, surrounded by the Khumbu Icefall and the south face of Everest.
Gorak Shep to Kala Patthar — Descend to Pheriche
Pre-dawn climb to Kala Patthar (5,545m) for the most iconic sunrise view of Mount Everest. Then begin the descent to Pheriche (4,240m), where the thicker air feels like a luxury after days at altitude.
Pheriche to Namche Bazaar
A long but rewarding descent back to Namche Bazaar. The return through familiar landscapes feels different — you are returning as someone who has stood at the base of the world's highest peak.
Namche to Lukla
Final trekking day back to Lukla. Celebrate the completion of the trek with your team over a farewell dinner. Reflect on the journey and the friendships forged on the trail.
Fly Lukla to Kathmandu
Morning flight back to Kathmandu. Free afternoon for shopping, sightseeing, or simply relaxing after two weeks on the trail. Optional group dinner in Thamel.
Departure Day
Transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport for your onward journey. Alternatively, extend your stay to explore Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur, or Patan.
