This thrilling 35 min flight lets you view beautiful landscapes and experience a nerve-wracking landing. Lukla holds one of the most dangerous airports in the world.
Your trekking starts at Lukla. You will spend your first night at Phakding (2652m) and trek to Namche (3445m) the next day. We spend a day at Namche to acclimatize ourselves to the changing surroundings. Since we will be spending many days at the high-altitude during the EBC trek, altitude sickness is a real threat! Thus proper acclimatization is a must to prevent the chances of falling prey to altitude sickness.
During the acclimatization day, we spend the day observing around Namche Bazaar and venturing up to the Everest view hotel. Everest View Hotel is well famed for its jaw-dropping panoramic views of the Mahalangur Himalayan Range. For better acclimatization, you can opt for an optional hike up to the Khumde and Khumjung village which offers fantastic views of the gigantic peaks. After the acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar, you will head towards Tengboche (3860m). You will walk through dense pine forest and cross a few rivers during your hike from Namche to Tengboche.
Tengboche is an ancient Settlement filled with Sherpa and Tibetan Traditions. Make sure you visit the widely renowned Tengboche Monastery. This is the Monastery where Tenzing Norgay Sherpa used to be a monk during his time. And if you are lucky enough, you will get to experience the soothing Buddhist chanting right here in Tengboche.
The next destination for you is Dingboche (4410m). Your body needs to cope with the altitude, so you will have another acclimatization day at Dingboche. During the acclimatization day, we hike up to the Nagarjun hill near Dingboche which offers fantastic all-round view of the Khumbu mountain range. The following day, you will head towards Lobuche (4940m). Finally, you will reach Everest Base Camp (5380m) the next day via Gorak Shep (5160m).
After conquering the Everest Base Camp, you will climb up to Kala Patthar (5643m) on the following day. The hike up to the Kala Patthar viewpoint is challenging, but the reward you get is astounding. The panoramic view of some of the tallest mountains in the world is outstanding. The first ray of sunlight hitting the summit of Mount Everest cannot be expressed in mere letters.
You will return from Kala Patthar and spend the night at Pheriche (4371m). Your journey ends at Lukla after a pleasant night at Namche Bazaar.
