A scenic 30-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (2,860m), with stunning views over the Khumbu Valley. After tea at a local lodge, we trek on to Phakding through lush landscapes and charming Nepalese villages.

We enter Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, crossing rivers, valleys and the iconic Hillary Bridge — yaks along the trail, and on clear days a first glimpse of Everest. Two nights in Namche to acclimatize.

Namche is a historic trading hub, known for its warm 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 climb through vibrant flora and fauna. We visit Tengboche Monastery, then descend to Dibuche for a peaceful night in the Himalaya.

A six-hour climb with Ama Dablam dominating the horizon — pagodas, prayer walls and painted rocks along the way. First of two nights here to acclimatize before heading higher.

Second acclimatization night at Dingboche before continuing higher into the Khumbu.

A 2-hour descent before crossing a river and passing a memorial honoring the climbers who braved Everest. We follow the Khumbu moraine, with Kala Patthar and Lobuche in sight.

A 2–3 hour trek with stunning views of Pumori, Nuptse and Everest. The trail crosses the Khumbu Glacier, weaving through rocky terrain until we reach Gorak Shep and, finally, Everest Base Camp itself. We spend the night in Gorak Shep.

We head back down to Lobuche for a rest day — legs recovering, and one last check of gear and ropework before the climb.

From Lobuche, the trail turns rocky and steep, demanding careful footing as we climb higher. High Camp sits beside a tranquil glacial lake.

Summit day begins after midnight with a steep, rocky climb in the dark. As we reach the glacier, the ascent continues on fixed ropes with a jumar on the icy slopes. The reward at the top: panoramic views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and the surrounding Himalayan giants.

The way down begins, sleeping in Namche after the summit — no more altitude to fight, just tired legs and the mountain behind us.

We continue the descent to Lukla.

Flight back to Kathmandu.

A spare day built in for any weather delays, or free time to explore the city.
