The most awaited adventures EBC Luxury trek begins today. First, we take a short flight 35 minutes from Kathmandu to (Ramechhap (Manthali) during the peak season) to Lukla (2,840 m), which offers aerial and stunning views of the mountain scenery. 

The next part of the day involves a 4 hours trek to Phakding, through the Dudh Koshi River Valley. It's a gentle descent from Lukla along rocky and well-made stone paths. On the way we will pass Cheplung village and reach at Ghat then trail will ascend to the Phakding Village. Arrive at Phakding, quite settlement into a luxury lodge, and enjoy your warm dinner along with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. 

From Phakding, we double cross a river on high suspension bridges. Beyond Monjo is the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park which was introduced in order to protect and preserve the fragile mountain environment. Next, it’s a steep hike to Namche. If the weather is clear, we get the first glimpse of Mt Everest. Namche is a central trading village in the Khumbu and has a busy Saturday market – an old-time meeting place for the Hindu traders who hail from the lowlands and the Tibetan yak caravans that have crossed the glaciated Nangpa La.

Today, we will spend the day at Namche Bazaar. It is the largest village in the Khumbu region and has many modern facilities, such as WIFI, ATMs, Cafe and Museums. In the morning, we take an hour walk up to the Everest View Hotel, Syangboche for stunning views of the Himalayan Mountains, including Everest, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse, Thamserku and Kantega.

Later in the evening we will explore Namche Bazaar's market and visit the Visitor Center and Sherpa Culture Museum. 

From Namche, the trail goes uphill on to the side of the valley, high above the Dudh Kosi. This is where we get our first really good views of the great peaks of the Khumbu including Mt Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam. Hiking by several villages and numerous tea shops, we descend steeply to a suspension bridge over the river at Phungi Thanga. This village is a good stop for lunch & rest. Here we can relax before making the steep climb to Tengboche. Although the hike up the zigzag path is taxing, it presents us with many beautiful sights of rhododendron bushes with beautiful birds and delightful mountain scenery. Tengboche is famous for its celebrated monastery, the largest in the Khumbu. A wonderful panorama of Mt. Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam mounting in the horizon can be seen from the tea house.

We descend downhill through a forest, cross the Imja River and climb steadily to the village of Pangboche. This village stands exactly opposite of Ama Dablam [6,856 m], and has special views of the mountain, with the gompa, mani walls and scattered pine trees in the foreground. From here, a further two hours walk brings us to Dingboche.

Today is our second rest day of the trip, we rest and acclimatize here for with hiking to Nagarjuna Hill (5050m). It takes around 3-4hours walk to the hill which offers beautiful view of Ama Dablam, Taboche, Lobuche, Lobuche East and West, Thamserku and Kangtega. There is another alternative hike option to Chukung Valley (Imja Valley) as well with gorgeous view of Makalu, Island Peak, Everest, Cholatse etc. Rest of the day will explore around Dingboche Village.

Lobuche is the second last accommodation settlement area on the way to EBC. We carry on through our journey up the wide valley that lies below the magnificent peaks of Cholatse and Tawache toward left. We then swerve right and take a steep climb towards the foot of the Khumbu Glacier.

We go in for a breather in the tea house at Thukla which is a good spot to settle in for lunch. The trail then meanders through the boulders of the glacier's terminal moraine. As we reach the top of this Sherpa village, we come across many stone cairns, built as memorials to the many Sherpas who visited the cluster of houses at Lobuche Village.  

Today, we will finally reach Everest Base Camp, from Lobuche. We climb to the route along the Khumbu Glacier. The trail presents fantastic views of the surrounding mountains, especially where the path forces itself to rise to cross a tributary glacier and descend through the sandy trails to Gorak Shep.

We will have a lunch here at Gorak Shep (lodging palce) and afternoon continue trekking alongside the khumbu Glacier. The trail undoubtedly presents jaw-dropping views of the snowy mountain, Khumbu Ice Falls, Frozen streams and yaks. After exploring Everest Base Camp descend to Gorakshep to spend the night since there is no any tea houses or lodge at the base camp and crash out for an early night in preparation for our trek to Kalapattar on the following day. 

Here, we wake up early and hike to Kala Patthar ro watch the stunning sunrise over the iconic Mount Everest, and the surrounding peaks. Experience the magic Himalayas scenario before rupturing to the Gorak Shep.

After breakfast, take an exciting helicopter ride back to Kathmandu, flying over glaciers and valleys-ending your Everest adventure in a truly memorable way.
