Kathmandu to Mount Everest Base Camp Trek 15 Days

When you arrive in Kathmandu, our team will be ready to welcome you here with open hearts. You will meet our representative at the Tribhuvan International Airport, who will get you in a private vehicle from our hotel and get you to the Arushi Boutique Hotel in Thamel. This is just going to be around 20 minutes drive from the airport.

You can rest for the day in a hotel or roam around Thamel and be prepared for the next day.

On the second day, after breakfast, we will hop onto our private vehicle and head toward some historical places around Kathmandu. They mostly include Kathmandu Durbar Square, Monkey Temple, Bouddhanath, and Pashupatinath. This tour will give you more knowledge about the history, culture, and lifestyle of Nepal; especially Kathmandu.

In the evening, when you return back from the day tour, we will gather again and then have a detailed trek briefing which is going to start the next day. You can raise as many queries as you have on the briefing and get ready for tomorrow.

On this day, we will also introduce you to your trekking guide to the Everest Base Camp. You can be friends with them for a short time this day, but we are sure that he/she is going to be your friend for a lifetime.

We will drive you to the airport in the morning. Take the early morning flight to Lukla. Board a small, fixed-winged aircraft and set off on an adventurous aerial journey to Lukla. Soon after an incredible flight experience, you will find yourself in the amazing mountain town of Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region.

Meet your support crew (Sherpa Porter) in Lukla before setting off on the first day of the trek. The final destination today is Phakding, where you will reach after four hours of easy trek along a gentle, gradual downhill trail.

Enjoy your breakfast while listening to the murmur of the Dudh Kosi before starting off on your journey to Namche Bazaar. The walk today mostly involves an uphill trail with some steep portions. Cross several suspension bridges and show your entrance tickets at Sagarmatha National Park's entry point located just above the beautiful village of Monjo.

Reach Namche Bazaar, a prosperous mountain trading town in the Everest region where you can observe and experience the amazing culture and lifestyle of the famous Sherpa people.

You have a free day in Namche today. Located at an altitude of 3,440 meters above sea level, this is the perfect place to acclimatize before heading higher. Go for a hiking trip to Everest Viewpoint right above Namche Bazaar to see the first glimpse of Mount Everest.

Once you return to Namche, you are free to explore the town on your own. Feel free to indulge in conversation with locals there, head for internet cafes, or simply relax and save your energy for the days to come.

Start the day early after breakfast. Head for Tengboche, a beautiful village in the Khumbu region located near the confluence of the Dudh Koshi and Imja Rivers. The uphill walk will take you through forests and involves ridge walking.

Reach Tengboche after about six hours of uphill walk. See Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Everest along the way. Once you have checked into your accommodation, you are free to explore the area on your own. See Tengboche Monastery, the biggest Buddhist monastery in the region.

Follow the downhill trail that leads to Pangboche. Take some time off to explore the village and its monastery. Spend about six hours on the trail that takes you past forests and villages to reach Dingboche.

Time to allow your body to acclimatize in Dingboche, located 4,410 meters above sea level, before heading up. Take a walk around Dingboche before returning to your acclimatization. Relax or explore the area on your own.

You will be trekking above the tree line today, traversing pastures, glacial moraines, and boulder-strewn landscapes. Today's journey also involves crossing the Dughla Pass. See memorial shrines that remind you of brave mountaineers who lost their lives during their expeditions.

Although the walk is slow-paced and made difficult by the increasing elevation, it brings you face-to-face with some of the highest peaks in the world.

Call it a day on reaching Lobuche, where you will spend tonight.

Hit the trail for Everest Base Camp today. A slow-paced walk across a moraine and boulder-strewn path will take you to the highlight of this journey. Stand at the place where many climbers have spent days and nights training and preparing before attempting to summit the formidable Mount Everest.

Your day comes to an end in Gorakshep, a small settlement on a glacial lakebed near the base camp where you will spend the night.

The morning views of the mountains from Kala Patthar are worth the pain of jumping out of your bed and putting on your trekking gear. Spend some time on the peak, from where you will see numerous peaks of the Himalayas up close.

Then it is time to retrace your steps back to Gorakshep for breakfast followed by a downhill journey to Pheriche, a picturesque settlement in the Khumbu region and a popular stopover for trekkers on their way back down from the base camp.

Continue your journey down to Namche Bazaar via Khumjung today. Visit Khumjung Monastery before carrying on with your journey. In the evening, you can enjoy around the bustling Namche Bazaar.

Reach the finishing point of your journey in Lukla today. Trek past Monjo and Phakding and encounter the Dudh Kosi River again.

We take a morning flight from the Lukla airstrip leaving the mighty mountains behind us. Another exciting flight with adventure takes us back to the Kathmandu City civilization. Once in Kathmandu, we transfer you to Arushi Boutique Hotel (or your hotel). You can rest for the day in the hotel. In the evening, we will again meet up for the typical Nepali Farewell Dinner. We will share the beautiful stories from the trek and end the night after providing the trip achievement certificate.

The Everest base camp trek has come to an end. It's time to make arrangements for your return journey home. Our airport team will assist you with the check-out process at the hotel and ensure you reach the international airport smoothly.
