Itinerary

Set your sights on the world’s highest peaks with the "Everest Base Camp Trek"—a 12-day guided journey built for young adults and experienced trekkers ready to embrace the Himalayas’ grandeur. Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla, then follow the Dudh Koshi River as you trek through Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, and breathtaking alpine scenery.

With relaxed daily hikes averaging six hours, you’ll acclimatize in iconic spots like Namche Bazaar and Dingboche before reaching Everest Base Camp on day eight. Stand atop Kala Patthar for a panoramic 360-degree mountain view, then descend past prayer flags and glaciers.

What makes this trek package stand out is its blend of adventure, culture, and manageable pacing—offering a true Himalayan experience for those eager to reach new heights, both literally and figuratively.

day 1 - Kathmandu to Lukla (flight) - Phakding

Transfer to Kathmandu's airport and take a 30-minute flight to Lukla (2,860m), the gateway to the Everest region. The trek begins gently along the banks of the Dudh Koshi River. Hike on footpaths paved with stones, passing a multitude of tea houses and scattered pastures along the way.

Phakding (2,610m) is a pretty village comprising around 30 houses and roughly a 3-hour walk from Lukla. Spend your night in Phakding.

Duration:3.30 hours

day 2 - Phakding - Namche Bazaar

The day begins with a gentle walk to Monjo, another picturesque Sherpa settlement along the route that is also an official entry point to Sagarmatha National Park (SNP) where you are required to show your SNP permit and TIMS card.

The hike up to Namche Bazaar (3,440m) from Monjo involves a tough uphill climb. Enjoy stunning views of Everest and Lhotse mountains along the way. As you approach the town of Namche Bazaar, you can see the peaks of Mt Thamserku (6,623m) and Kwangde (6,011m).

As the gateway to the Khumbu region and the centre of commerce, Namche Bazaar is famous for its shops and the weekly local market that takes place every Saturday. Spend two nights in Namche Bazaar to ensure that you are properly acclimatized to the altitude.
