We will give you a rundown of essential documents and all gears you will need throughout. You can spend the rest of the day at your leisure, exploring the city or relaxing at your hotel.

We end the day with a hearty dinner of Nepali cuisine.

Your trip begins early next morning with a 45-minute flight to Lukla. On flight you will get your first breathtaking views of the Himalayas from above. You get to Lukla's small mountain airstrip soon.

After some tea and snacks, during which you can take a closer look at the tower peaks surrounding you, we begin our four-hour trek down to Phakding. 

This first walk will help you adjust to trekking in the mountains. You'll pass through small settlements and enjoy the fresh mountain air as we make our way to the charming village by the river.

After a good breakfast, we'll continue our journey toward Namche Bazaar, the heart of the Khumbu region. This will take about seven hours and you will walk through charming villages and lush forests, with plenty of time to enjoy the mountain scenery.

A highlight of the day's trek is crossing the iconic Hillary Suspension Bridge over the Dudh Koshi River. The gradual climb brings us to Namche, where you'll be welcomed by the lively atmosphere of this famous trading town.

We'll spend the night at Yeti Mountain Home, where you can relax and soak in your first proper views of the high Himalayas.

Today is an important day to rest and let your body adjust to the altitude. After breakfast, we'll take a hike up to the Hotel Everest View, where you'll be rewarded with a panorama of the Himalayan peaks, including Mount Everest.

The walk is short but rewarding, giving you just enough activity to help with acclimatization while enjoying spectacular views.

Along the way, we may stop at the Visitors Park to learn more about the region's unique ecosystem. We will also hike to the Syanboche Airport (one of the highest airport in Nepal).

You'll have the afternoon free to explore Namche Bazaar at your own pace, perhaps visit the local market, try some local food and buy souvenirs or simply relax at the comfortable lodge.

On day 5, we will leave Namche Bazaar and trek to Dole, a small village situated on a hillside with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

We will pass through several small settlements and enjoy the tranquil scenery of the Everest region and reach there in about 6-7 hours.

The day’s trek, although not too long (approx. 3 to 5 hours), it is a steeper unhill climb which takes us to the peaceful village of Machhermo, nestled in a beautiful valley surrounded by towering peaks. 

As the trail climbs, it gives us plenty of time to enjoy the magnificent mountain views along the way. We'll pass through alpine meadows and cross small streams, with the fresh mountain air accompanying us throughout the journey.

Machhermo welcomes us charmingly, and we'll spend the night in a cozy lodge, resting for tomorrow's adventure.

Machhermo is notable for its glacial river and the site of a famous 1974 yeti encounter. The village offers the first clear views of Cho Oyu's massive west face.

After breakfast, we will trek towards the Gokyo Lakes, a series of six glacial lakes located in the Gokyo Valley, which are among the world's highest freshwater systems. The lakes are known for their stunning turquoise color and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.

Formed by glacial meltwater from the Ngozumpa Glacier, the largest glacier in Nepal, the lakes are known for their striking turquoise and emerald colors, which vary with seasons and light conditions.

Designated as both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Ramsar wetland, the Gokyo Lakes are recognized for their ecological importance. 

We will wake up early and hike up to Gokyo Ri (5,357m), one of the best viewpoints in the Everest region, for sunrise views. The climb is rewarding, with increasingly spectacular panoramic views with every step. 

From the summit, you'll be treated to an unforgettable vista of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, and the entire Gokyo Lakes system below.

After taking in these magnificent sights, we'll descend back to Gokyo where you can relax and reflect on today's achievements in the comfort of our lodge. The remainder of the day is yours to rest and enjoy the serene mountain surroundings.

After descending to Gokyo, we will continue our trek to Thangna, a small settlement located at the foot of Cho La Pass.

Today, we’ll cross Cho La Pass, which is another a challenging but rewarding part of the trek. The trail includes steep sections with rocky terrain, so we’ll take it steady.

As we make our way up and over the pass, we’ll be treated to incredible views of the surrounding peaks. After crossing, we’ll descend to Dzongla, a peaceful village nestled at the base of Lobuche Peak, where we’ll rest for the night.

We’ll start our climb toward Lobuche Peak High Camp, following a steep and rocky trail. Along the way, we’ll pass by beautiful glacial lakes, adding to the unique Himalayan scenery.

This part of the trek is demanding but offers a true adventure for those ready to take on the challenge. Once we reach High Camp, we’ll prepare for the next day’s summit attempt.

This is the most demanding day of the trek as we aim for the summit of Lobuche Peak. The climb is steep and requires focus, but the effort is worth it, the views from the top are breathtaking. 

After celebrating our achievement, we’ll carefully descend to Base Camp or High Camp, then continue to Lobuche village, where we’ll spend the night near the foot of Everest.

Today is a well-earned rest day in Lobuche. You’ll have time to relax, explore the village, and soak in the stunning mountain views. It’s a great opportunity to recharge before continuing the journey.

We begin early to hike up Kala Patthar in time for sunrise. As morning breaks, the first sunlight touches Mount Everest's peak and gradually reveals the surrounding mountains.

You'll see the Khumbu Glacier and nearby peaks like Nuptse and Lhotse become visible in the growing light. Prayer flags flutter in the breeze as the valley slowly brightens around you.

After taking in this unforgettable scene, we'll descend through the beautiful high valleys to Pheriche. The day that begins with a challenging morning climb and incredible views as a reward, followed by a more relaxed afternoon walk to our comfortable lodge.

On this day, we begin our return journey, trekking back through the beautiful Khumbu Valley to Namche Bazaar. As we descend, you'll notice how much stronger you've become since first passing this way.
