Everest View Trek

Welcome to Nepal; the land of vivid colours, cultures and heritages. Also blessed with the awe-inspiring Himalayas, Nepal is among the few countries where such a unique blend of nature and tradition can be found. At this very day, we’ll meet each other in person after your arrival in Kathmandu Airport. Thereupon, you’ll be escorted to your hotel where you can rest, relax and freshen up. You’ll then introduce to your trekking guide and we’ll have a brief discussion regarding your upcoming escapade. An evening, you can wander around renowned places near you such as Thamel Bazaar and Durbar Marg.

In the early morning, we head to Lukla via a scenic mountain flight of about 40 minutes. As the flight enters the deep gorge of the Dudh Koshi valley, we can catch the fascinating glimpses of the snowy mountaintops of breath-taking Himalayan Range, including Everest. Once at Lukla (2,840m), we commence our trek and ascend on the mountainside situated along the edge of the Dudh Koshi River. En route, we will witness the prepossessing outlooks comprising of Mount Kwongde Range, Mt. Nupla (5,885m) and Mt. Kusum Kanguru (6,369m). With an easy trek across small villages, farmlands, forest and stream via the wide and well-constructed path; we arrive at Phakding (2,610m).

Today, we depart from Phakding and advance on the trekking trail, which progresses along the western bank of Dudh Kosi, across Blue Pine woodland to the village of Benkar (2,700m). Afterwards, with a suspension bridge above Dudh Koshi River, the trail continues on the other side of the river and gently ascends to Chumoa Village; then, Monjo Village (2,800m). Now, the trail makes its headway to Jhorsalle (2,804m) and eventually traverses waterfalls several human settlements scattered next to splendid forests of, Magnolia, Fir, and Rhododendron. Furthermore, initial glimpses of Everest (8,848m), Kusum Kanguru (6,369m) Thamserku (6,608m), and Nuptse (7,879 m) greets us on the way. The trail now moves uphill past woodlands and suspension bridges to the conflux of Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers.  After few hours of abrupt ascend, we’ll have some glances of world’s highest mountain Everest, appearing above Lhotse-Nuptse ridge. Subsequent to a steep climb, we finally make it to the exquisite village of Namche Bazaar (3,440m).

This day, along with the acclimatization, you’ll get to know more about this magnificent marketplace. Besides a comfortable atmosphere to slow down and repose; Namche Bazaar extends amazing panoramas including the jagged ridge of Kongdi Ri (6,187m) as well as sunrise and sunset above the snow-capped peaks of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Nuptse, Lhotse, Everest, Kwangde, Tawche, and many more. Acclimatization is necessary; as during this period of time, your body can get accustomed to higher altitudes with low oxygen level, which increases the possibility to prevent Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). In addition, we can hike around Namche and visit the Sherpa Museum to get familiar with Sherpas, the communities of snowy mountains and acquire the insight into their distinct culture and traditions.  Have a full day rest so that we don’t have to encounter any problem on the way ahead.

We begin the fifth day of our escapade with a joyful walk, accompanied by the striking outlook of majestic mountains. Afterwards, we continue to pursue the splendid trail, which passes across a hillside, positioned high above the Dudh Kosi River; all the way to Phungithanga. Now, the trail sustains uphill climb past some water-steered prayer wheels, across rhododendron forest. If you are lucky enough, you might spot musk deer amid the trees. In the end, we arrive at Tengboche (3,860m). Below a crescent-shaped ridge with scrub pines and firs, Tengboche village is dispersed across the wide grassland. From the viewpoint at the top of a hill in the village, stupendous outlooks of inspiring peaks such as Nuptse (7,861m), Lhotse (8,501m), Everest (8,848m), and lovely Ama Dablam (6,812m). Furthermore, in this very village, we may also explore Buddhist Monastery, celebrated as the largest in the entire Khumbu region.

We now return back to Namche Bazaar  and Manjo, following the same trekking trail that previously led us to Tengboche. Descending across the woodland of rhododendron, we move downhill along the Dudh Koshi River observing the elegant mountain vistas. These elegant sights are so spell-binding that you wish to stay here forever within the depth of your heart.

At the dawn of the day, we descend back to Lukla accompanied by the graceful mountain scenery along the way.  Leaving behind many small villages, fields forest and stream; we reach Phakding and ultimately, arrive at Lukla. Lukla consist of a small mountain airstrip which functions as a lifeline to the Khumbu region where the only way to access is via foot, and air.
