After landing, we will receive you at Kathmandu Tribhuvan international airport and help with your transportation to the hotel. This drive normally takes 20 to 30 minutes on average depending on the traffic.
Once we arrive at the hotel we will check in and allow you to rest after the trip. Later in the day, we will setup a briefing on the trek. In this session, we will discuss the Luxury Everest trek itinerary, altitude plan, and key points of safety.
If you arrive in the evening, we will do the briefing the next morning. The remaining time can be spent at the hotel relaxing or taking a short walk around the area.
We will start the guided sightseeing tour of Kathmandu Valley with a private vehicle after breakfast. We will visit important cultural sites such as Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Swayambhunath. These sites can make you familiar with the local culture and lifestyle.
You will also visit Kathmandu Durbar Square where you will see old buildings and ancient temples. Our guide will describe the history of these places in a easy and understandable manner.
During the evening you will have some time to prepare. Before the trek starts, you can check your gear, do some shopping or to relax at the hotel.
We will make a short flight to Lukla early in the morning. The flight lasts approximately 30 to 40 minutes and provides sights of hills and mountains on the way. On arriving on the ground we will welcome our trekking crew and begin the walk.
Our journey will start with a walk down to Phakding on a smooth path. The route passes through small towns, crosses suspension bridges and follows the river. The walk is not too difficult and helps you get used to trekking.
After reaching Phakding, we will check into the teahouse, have dinner, and rest for the night.
We will proceed on with trekking to Namche Bazaar after the breakfast. The trail has a number of suspension bridges and even forest areas. We will also visit Sagarmatha National Park, where the permits are verified.
The trail is a little more difficult as we go up the mountain, so we will walk at a slow pace. On a clear day, we might have our first glimpse of Everest at a distance on the way.
After reaching Namche Bazaar, we will check into the teahouse and take time to rest. This is an important place for acclimatization.
Today will be a day of acclimatization so that your body can adapt to the altitude. We will not remain entirely at rest, but make a little walk up to a better elevation and down again.
After breakfast, we will walk towards Hotel Everest View. If the weather is clear, we can enjoy views of Everest and surrounding peaks. We will go back to Namche after spending a period in this place.
During the afternoon, you may go and visit the local market, the Sherpa Museum, or you can rest at the teahouse. It is a significant day in the preparation of higher altitude.
After breakfast, we will leave Namche Bazaar and follow a gradual trail along the ridge. We can see the mountains surrounding us with a clear view of them as we pass by the open areas and the forested areas. We will pass small settlements along the way and continue at a steady pace.
On the way, we will pass Tengboche, where we will be able to have a short pause and see the monastery. This is an important cultural place in the region.
We will stay awhile there and then go downhill to Deboche. Once we reach Deboche, we will check into the teahouse and rest. The area is quieter and suitable for a relaxed evening.
Today, we will continue our trek towards Dingboche. The trail runs through wooded land and over a river and reaches the village of Pangboche. Here we shall stop and resume the walk.
The higher we get the less trees and more of an open landscape. The trail is steady, and we will walk at a comfortable pace to avoid tiredness. At this point, you will start to feel the effects of increasing altitude.
After reaching Dingboche, we will check into the teahouse and rest. The village has a great open panorama and it is a significant point of rest before ascending further.
It is another acclimatization day. We will not stay fully at rest, as light activity helps the body adjust better. In the morning, we will go on a short walk to a local outlook.
At the elevation, we are able to observe neighboring mountains in case the sky is clear. It is a gentle and gradual walk and we will be back in Dingboche after spending some time there.
You may spend the afternoon in the teahouse, or walk around the village a little, or rest. This day is important before moving to higher altitude areas.
After breakfast, we will continue trekking towards Lobuche. The trail gradually ascends through open landscapes. We will walk slowly to maintain a steady pace and avoid discomfort from altitude.
We will also pass a memorial site that is constructed in honor of climbers. Here we will pause a moment and proceed on. The trail is steeper and rocky as we head towards Lobuche.
Upon arrival at Lobuche, we will check into the teahouse and take a rest. The air is thinner here, and we will keep our activities light and concentrate on good rest.
The day is one of the significant days of the trek. After breakfast, we will walk towards Gorakshep and take a short break there. Then we will continue towards Everest Base Camp.
The trail follows a rocky glacier path, so we will walk slowly and carefully. Once in Everest Base Camp, we will have time to spend there and take photographs.
We will go back to Gorakshep and get into the teahouse later. It will be a long day, so we will rest early after dinner.
In the morning, we will walk to Kala Patthar to have a clear view of Everest and other peaks. The ascent is not very long, but very sharp and, therefore, we will walk slowly and have rests when we may. From the top, you can enjoy clear views of the surrounding mountains in good weather.
After spending some time there, we will return to Gorakshep for breakfast. Then we will begin our descent towards Pheriche. The walk down will be less stressful than it was in the last few days and the decreasing of altitude will also be more comfortable.
After reaching Pheriche, we will check into the teahouse and rest.
We will then proceed downwards to Namche Bazaar after breakfast. The trail passes through familiar villages like Pangboche and Tengboche. We will also go through forest cover and walk over suspension bridges.
When we lose altitude, it becomes easier to breathe and the walk becomes easier. During the trek, we will have brief breaks to rest and have a sightseeing experience.
Once we arrive at Namche Bazaar, we will be lodging in the teahouse. You are able to take a warm meal, have a comfortable evening after long walking day.
Today, we will continue descending towards Lukla. The path is the same road we have been on before, going through small villages and over suspension bridges. We will move slowly and have breaks when necessary.
As we descend in altitude the walk becomes less strenuous and the temperature also seems warmer. After reaching Lukla, we will check into the teahouse and rest.
We will also have a small farewell dinner with the trekking team in the evening. This is a proper moment to congratulate the team and give your experience about the trek.
In the early morning, we will fly to Ramechhap at Lukla. The flight lasts approximately 20- 25 minutes. After landing, we will continue the journey by vehicle to Kathmandu.
The road is approximately 4 to 5 hour long. Through Kathmandu we will take you to the hotel.

We will take you to Tribhuvan international Airport after taking a breakfast. Our crew will help you to know the time when you can transfer depending on your flight schedule.

The Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek requires a number of days of walking on a mixed terrain with slow ascents, rocky trails, and long downs. We will walk approximately 5 to 7 hours in a slow relaxed manner on most days. It has no technical climbing sections and thus one is not required to have previous experience. Most travelers can cope with the journey with the right kind of pacing and rest.
