day 1Flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and trek to Phakding
After having breakfast in the morning, we get transferred to the domestic terminal of the Kathmandu Domestic Airport to catch our scheduled morning flight to Lukla. Lukla is the starting point of Everest Base Camp Trekking. After an adventurous 30 minute scenic flight above the breathtaking green and white Himalayas, we land on the Tenzing-Hillary Airport at Lukla. Then we meet our porters and other crew members and start Everest Base Camp Trekking, after some packing arrangements. After a few hours of walk, we reach Phakding. We only have a short hike today to assist the proper acclimatization. However, if you are interested, you can also take a side trip to a nearby monastery. We stay overnight at local guesthouse.

Customer Reviews
We had an excellent time
We had an excellent time trekking to EBC. This tour company was very helpful and friendly pre and post trek. Our guide was very knowledgeable and worked very hard to make sure everything went smoothly (organizing the trek accommodation, helping with the flight and helping with each meal). Thanks for a great trip!
Individual Tour Lukla-Namche Bazar-Thame-Kongde-Lukla
Due to our limited amount of time we opted for an individual tour from Lukla-Namche Bazar-Thame-Kongde-Lukla.The tour was very nice. Good selection of destinations, sceneries and good distances and good accommodation - for our individual preferences. Overall we were very happy and if we would have to book the tour again we would not change anything.
Individual trip - excellent organisation
We organized an individual mountain trekking trip the help of local travel specialists, starting from Lukla - Phakding - Namche Bazar - Thame - Kongde - Lukla. The whole trip, which means flights, accomodation, food and trip was very well organized from pick-up services until support in every situation. The guide and trip manager were very friendly and helpful even for our "out-of-standard hike". Therefore 5 stars.
Base Camp Trek with Purna
An excellent guided tour to Base Camp with my mountain guide Purna. Definitely recommend Purna. Communication was sometimes challenging, but he was very helpful and offered to show me the local cuisine outside of the not-so-fresh hotel/tea house food. Couldnt recommend more!
Everest Base Camp Trek
The trip was well planned and adjustments were made promptly as needed to adjust to weather conditions. Our guide Gopal Tamang was exceptional! I highly recommend this trek because it is absolutely gorgeous!
