This trip starts in Kathmandu where we will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to the airport for a short flight to Lukla (2,827 meters). Your journey from Lukla initially follows the route to Everest Base Camp as it travels to Namche Bazaar via Phakding.
Spend a day in Namche, acclimatising and preparing for the journey. Then head for Pangboche via Phortse. Travel through lush forests, past mani walls and via quaint Sherpa villages where time seems to have come to a halt. Take the trail that goes from Pangboche to Ama Dablam Base Camp. See Mount Ama Dablam as well as Lhotse, Nuptse and Pumori mountains in close proximity as well as Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, that is positioned between Mount Lhotse and Mount Nuptse.
Start your journey downhill along the same trail and catch your flight to Kathmandu from Lukla. Your trip comes to an end on arrival in the capital city.

How much money do I need to bring with me?
Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

How much should my backpack weigh?
A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.

Do I require a porter for carrying water?
On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.
