Thank you for choosing Everest view trek as your next adventure destination! You will meet your trekking leader on this day and he will brief you about your trek. After a short briefing you will be guided by the trekking leader to city center for last minute shopping, if there is any.  Meanwhile our backend staff will prepare for required permits, national park fees and do other last minute preparation to make sure of your hassle free trip.

Note: To manage the surge in air traffic during Nepal’s peak trekking season, the government has announced a route change for flights to Lukla. Instead of departing from Kathmandu, all flights will be diverted to Manthali airport in Ramechhap district. 

Hereby, we'll drive you to Manthali by car after lunch , which takes about 4 hours. We'll stay overnight in Manthali, ensuring a smooth and efficient journey to Lukla the following day.

The 200km flight to the northeast region of Nepal is a majestic experience but the best view is offered to the one’s seated on the left side of the aircraft. After landing on a 465 meter runway, we immediately retrieve our belongings and head towards the north to the village of Phakding.  We make our way through the school built by Sir. Edmund Hillary in Kyangma, and further through the community forest, chortens, prayer walls, mani and finally through rustic suspension bridge, until we reach Phakding.

Note: If we're in Manthali, we'll catch a flight to Lukla and begin our trek from Lukla to Phakding.

Today we begin early as usual to cover a distance of 1000m in ascent and in 5-6 hours, after we fuel ourselves with highland breakfast. We start on the trail along raging Dudh Koshi river and make our first sheer uphill walk to Toktok, where awaits the beautiful view of Thamserku. We walk through villages intermingling with beautiful forest of Rhododendron, fir, magnolia and Pine. The final ascent to Namche as well is challenging, whereas you may feel the first symptoms of altitude kicking in.

We begin uphill from Namche and leave behind the regular trail that leads to the Everest base camp. We climb all the way up to reach Syangboche airstrip – the highest elevated non commercial airport in the Everest region. Right above the airport we can see beautifully crafted luxurious hotel, build with all amenities and offering great views of surrounding mountains. Furthermore, we climb up beyond the pine forest until the opening of Khumjung. Comparatively Khumjung is a large village and offers close views of Kongde Ri and Thamserku. To add up, a sacred peak namely Khumbila rises above the grounds of Khumjung. This village is significant in many ways - one it homes the monastery which houses and preserves a so called yeti scalp, second it has a school which was made by the pioneer mountaineer Sir. Edmund Hillary, third the famous mountaineers Appa Sherpa and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa belong to the village. This village is a quite a place to spend overnight in.

After exploring Khumjung area for a bit, we walk with very slowly towards Tengboche from Khumjung. Tengboche is around 70 meters higher than Khumjung, but it takes around 2 hours if we walk with pace and around 3 hours if we relax, explore and walk. Initially we descend down to Dudh Koshi and cross it via a rustic suspension bridge to reach our lunch stopover. We have our lunch and make a final ascent to Tengboche monastery. Since we walk for few hours and the monastery opens only after 3:00 pm, we will explore the Tengboche monastery from the inside. The view of the mountains from the monastery as well is worth appreciation. We spend overnight in Tengboche.

Immediately after Tengboche , we take steep ascend through the forest of Rhododendron, fir and Pine. The trail is steep and bends are pretty often but on this section of road keep you eyes open for Himalayan goat and lovely pheasant.The forest is as well known to inhabit snow leopards but never has been spotted by any of our members or guests. Once we reach Namche we would have enough time to relax and chat over coffee and bakery. Moreover, its pleasant to access the internet at the eatery. After brief moment in Namche we head further down towards Monjo. We cross the Dudh Koshi river twice, over the suspension bridge, at two different locations. Just befor Monjo we exit Sagarmatha national park. Overnight in Monjo.

Monjo is relatively quiet and close to Lukla and prevents us as well as porters and guides from rushing to Lukla. The trail that leads from Monjo to lukla is basically downhill but long enough to take 4-6 hours, depending on our speed. Once we reach lukla your trekking leader will reconfirm your flight to Kathmandu for the next day. Travellers spend rest of the day Chatting, drinking beer in the local bars and sharing experience with other travellers. Its very fascinating to see travellers who have finished the trek trying to assist the travellers getting ready with all their queries and pre jitters.
