Get ready for an exciting day ahead! This morning, we’ll have a short briefing at the hotel to get you ready for your upcoming adventure. We’ll provide you with a warm and comfortable World Horizons down jacket, as well as a duffle bag for your gear that will accompany you on your trek. Your guide will explain everything you need to know for your morning flight to Lukla and the days to come.

After the briefing, we’ll take you on a half-day guided sightseeing tour of Kathmandu. We’ll start by visiting the famous Boudhanath Stupa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest stupas in the world. From there, we’ll head to Kathmandu Durbar Square, a complex of palaces, temples, and courtyards that date back to the 12th century. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the ancient temples and palaces that make this area unique.

We’ll end our tour in Thamel, Kathmandu’s bustling main bazaar. Here, you’ll have plenty of great spots to choose from for lunch, and can soak in the vibrant atmosphere of this lively neighborhood. The rest of the afternoon and evening is yours to enjoy at your leisure, so take the time to explore, relax, and prepare for the adventure ahead!

Get ready for an incredible adventure as you board the flight to Lukla! The excitement builds as you anticipate the amazing sights you’re about to witness. Once you arrive at Everest Summit Lodge, the anticipation builds even more. You’re finally here, in the heart of the Himalayas!

After a early lunch, it’s time to take a walk up to Bom Danda and its surroundings. The altitude of approximately 3,000m might take your breath away, but it’s the perfect way to acclimatize and prepare for the days ahead. Don’t forget to visit the Nicole Pasang Lhamu Hospital, where you’ll see firsthand how it serves both the locals and tourists.

As you walk along the rim of Lukla, be sure to take in the stunning views of the surrounding areas and the airfield. And when the day starts to wind down, return to the lodge for a satisfying dinner and a cozy evening.

Here’s a hot tip for the day: try to grab a seat on the left-hand side of the plane during your flight to Lukla. If you’re lucky enough to catch good weather, you’ll be treated to a spectacular view of the Himalayan snow line. And just before landing at Lukla airport, brace yourself for a thrilling moment as the plane suddenly gains altitude to fly over the Lamjura pass. You’ll feel like you’re right in the heart of the Himalayas!

Overnight stay at Everest Summit Lodge in Lukla. 

Get ready for an epic adventure with Jigme! He’s taking you on a day hike to Thakchok Danda, where you’ll be awestruck by the breathtaking views of Kongde Ri, Thamserku and Numbur Himal. Trust us, the views are not just good or great, they are absolutely stupendous! 

Of course, safety is paramount, and Jigme is an expert in high altitude trekking. He’ll guide you and provide information on the dangers of high altitude, and he’ll be keeping a watchful eye for any common symptoms. But don’t be alarmed if you feel a little tired or headachy after a long day of trekking – a good cup of Nepalese tea, a refreshing drink of water, and some rest will make you feel as good as new.

And let’s not forget the picnic lunch that will be provided during the 6-hour trek. It’s sure to be a feast for your senses, as you take in the stunning scenery and enjoy some delicious food.

Overnight – Everest Summit Lodge, Monjo

Just a mere five-minute stroll from the lodge, and you will be transported to the magnificent realm of Everest National Park, where visitors are required to complete the entry formalities. Today’s trek is not for the faint of heart, but take it easy, savoring the stunning scenery as you gradually ascend towards Namche Bazar. The path meanders through two suspension bridges as you zigzag along the Dudh Koshi River, before embarking on the arduous climb to Namche. Though challenging, with plenty of opportunities to catch your breath, and a slow but steady pace, you will eventually reach the pinnacle. The trail leading to Namche Bazar is comfortably broad and well-marked. Embark on your journey in the refreshing morning air, making it easier to breathe and adapt to the increasing altitude. After three leisurely hours of walking, you will arrive at the heart of Khumbu, the vibrant Namche Bazar.

During today’s expedition, you will encounter the awe-inspiring Hillary Bridge, named in honor of the legendary Sir Edmund of Everest. As you trek up the winding path, nearly halfway up the hill towards Namche Bazar, if the sky is clear, your first glimpse of Everest and Lhotse will come into view, a truly mesmerizing sight.

For overnight accommodation, rest assured that we have secured the finest lodgings available in Namche Bazar. As we don’t have a Summit Lodge in this location, we have meticulously selected three premium options, and have already made the necessary reservations well in advance of your arrival.

As we make our way towards the charming village of Khunde, we’ll be treated to one of the most picturesque and pleasurable walks of our trip. Khunde is particularly renowned for its exceptionally well-managed medical facility, the Hillary hospital. Following a brief visit, we’ll continue our ascent towards the Everest Views Hotel, where we’ll indulge in a delightful lunch while taking in the breathtaking views of Kusum Kanguru, Tamserku, and Kangtaga. Additionally, we’ll have the opportunity to marvel at the stunning Ama Dablam, widely considered the most stunning peak in the entire Himalayan range, as well as Cholaste, the massive south wall of Nupste and Lhotse, and the imposing triangular form of Mt Everest in the distance. Our descent from lunch will be equally enjoyable, leading us to the luxurious Tashinga Lodge, where we’ll be spending the night.
