An outstanding experience with Thin Air Trips! Isa and the team brought so much care, enthusiasm and professionalism to the whole adventure. Their thoughtful planning, clear communication and attention to detail made everything feel smooth and well organised, allowing me to relax and enjoy the experience.
What stood out most was the personal approach. Isa was approachable, helpful and always happy to answer questions. You could really feel her passion for the mountains and her commitment to making the trip special.
A fantastic team that I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a memorable trekking or mountain adventure. Thank you, Isa and Thin Air Trips—I would love to join you again!
I’ve now travelled with Thin Air Trips twice — to Torres del Paine and Kyrgyzstan — and both trips were absolutely incredible. Two very different destinations, but equally unforgettable adventures!
One of the best things about travelling with them is that they take care of everything. From planning the itinerary to organising accommodation, transport and all the logistics along the way, they make the whole experience feel easy. There’s so much that goes into organising trips like these, and having it all managed means you can relax, enjoy the adventure and focus on the places you’ve come to explore.
Torres del Paine was spectacular, and Kyrgyzstan was another amazing experience, with breathtaking mountains and landscapes that will stay with me for a long time. Both trips gave me so many special moments and memories that I’ll always treasure.
For me, the real value of Thin Air Trips is being able to experience these extraordinary destinations without the stress of coordinating everything myself. You get all the excitement of an adventure, with the reassurance that the details are taken care of.
The fact that I booked a second trip after my first probably says it all! I would happily travel with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organised, memorable adventure. An easy five stars!
Fuimos con ellos al Ararat y todo perfecto, organización de 10, muy buena comunicación antes y durante el viaje, y muy buenos guías. Repetiremos!
I had a fantastic experience travelling to Russia to summit Mt Elbrus. Isa has been really communicative and helpful. I had a lot of hestitations about travelling to the region, but all went smooth and the entire trip was amazing. The team on ground were also just as professional and helpful, really helping to take off the logitical pressure and allowing me to focus on the summit.
Espectacular!!la ruta , la organización , la gente…repetiré sin duda!
Viaje top y equipo mejor aún!
Every stop on the way up — and the fast way back down. No day skips acclimatization; none of it is optional at this altitude.
Grouped by phase — tap any stage to open it.
Your adventure kicks off in Kathmandu. Settle into the hotel, explore Thamel’s vibrant alleys, shop for last-minute gear, or relax before the welcome dinner.
A scenic 30-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, with stunning views of the Khumbu Valley. After tea at a local lodge, we trek to Phakding, passing lush landscapes and charming Nepalese villages.
We trek into Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO site — crossing rivers, valleys and the iconic Hillary Bridge. Yaks along the trail, and a glimpse of Everest itself on clear days. Two nights in Namche to acclimatize.
Namche is a historic trading hub known for its Sherpa hospitality. We hike up to the Everest View Hotel, the world’s highest, for a first breathtaking view of Mount Everest.
A gentle trail followed by a 3km ascent through vibrant flora and fauna. We visit Tengboche Monastery, then descend to Dibuche for a peaceful night in the Himalayas.
A six-hour climb with Ama Dablam dominating the horizon — pagodas, prayer walls and painted rocks along the way. Two nights here to acclimatize before pushing higher.
A 2-hour descent before crossing a river, passing a memorial honoring climbers who braved Everest. Following the Khumbu moraine, with Kala Patthar and Lobuche in view.
A 2–3 hour trek offering stunning views of Pumori, Nuptse and Everest. The trail crosses the Khumbu Glacier, weaving through rocky terrain until Gorak Shep — then on to Everest Base Camp itself. Overnight in Gorak Shep.
The descent to Namche and Lukla, in three days — no altitude to fight anymore, just tired legs and the mountain behind you.
Flight back to Kathmandu, keeping a spare day for any weather delays or to explore the vibrant city. Transfer to the airport.
You don’t need to be an athlete, but you’ll be walking for several hours a day at altitude, so arriving prepared means you’ll enjoy it much more. If you’d like, we can add a personalised training and nutrition plan as an optional extra.
The itinerary is designed for proper acclimatisation, with two nights in Namche and two in Dingboche before going higher. Safety comes first: with altitude we don’t take chances.
The trip runs 21 Nov – 4 Dec and includes the 2–3 December National Day break, so you spend fewer annual leave days for the same 14 days on the trail.
International flights, the Nepal visa ($30 on arrival), tips, and your travel insurance. Insurance is mandatory and must cover trekking at this altitude, helicopter evacuation and repatriation.
Time it right and you use the 2–3 Dec break as part of the trip — fewer annual leave days spent for the same 14 days on the trail.
