Itinerary Detail of Everest Base Camp Trek

• Day 01 : Mountain Flight to Lukla and Begin Trek to Phakding.
  Transfer to the airport for the mountain flight to Lukla. During the short but spectacular flight we will leave the Kathmandu Valley and head into the Himalaya, the world’s highest mountains rising before us. Our destination is Lukla, perched high on a mountainside above the Dudh Kosi (River of Milk), where we make an unforgettable landing on its 1,729-foot-long, 65-foot-wide runway. From Lukla, the trail descends 1,500 feet down to the Dudh Kosi river for further trek to Phakding village.
• Day 02 : Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar
  The trail climbs up the Dudh Koshi Canyon, crossing from side to side the villages. Trekkers must register at Jorsale for the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park just beyond to Chomou. The trail undulates along the valley up to the confluence of the Bhote Koshi and Dudh Koshi. Climb up to Namche Bazaar for overnight.
• Day 03 : Namche Bazaar
  A rest day should be spend relaxing in Namche Bazaar for acclimatization. There are a number of local excursions that we might enjoy. Hike up above Namche to the Sagarmatha National Park Visitor’s Center and Museum, where there are terrific views of the Everest region and numerous educational displays on the culture, geography, geology, climatology, and wildlife within the park and the Khumbu. It is also possible to make a 2-2½ hour hike up to Syangboche and the Everest View Hotel
• Day 04 : Trek from Namche Bazaar to Tengboche
  From Namche Bazaar, it is a steep one hour climb to Shyangboche. There are good view of Ama Dablan and Everest from here. The trail to Tengboche from Khunjung goes down the valley, past chortens and amni walls and soon meets the direct Namche Bazaar to Tengboche trail.
• Day 05 : Trek from Tengboche to Pheriche
  Descend through forest to Devuche on the way to Everest Base Camp. From Pangboche, the trail initially remains faily steady above the Imja Khola. Trek to the Pheriche village for overnight which consists mainly of hotels and teashops plus a shop selling expedition leftovers.
• Day 06 : Pheriche
  Spend a trest day here, even if you are feeling in a good condition. A side trip can be made up to Nagkartshand Gompa which also offers a good view of Makalu. There is another, most strenuous, side to Chhukung, a small summer settlement where you get exvellent views of Island Peak, Lhotse and Ama Dablam.
• Day 07 : Trek from Pheriche to Lobuche
  The first part of the route passes up to the long scrubby flat bottom of the valley to Phulung Kharka. It rises steadily, then drops down, crosses the river and enters Dughla. From here the trail climbs higher, then follow the small valley to Lobuche for overnight. The views of Taweche and Nuptse are spectacular.
• Day 08 : Trek from Lobuche to Gorak Shep
  Continue up to the grassy valley beside the Khumbu Glacier moraine until the terminal moraine of the Changri Nup and Changri Shar. It then becomes steeper and rougher as you climb to top of the moraine. Then it is a short descent to the dry sandy area of Gorak Shep which has a small lake beyond.
• Day 09 : Trek from Gorak Shep to Everest Base Camp
  Everest Base Camp is to the east of the Khumbu Glacier. After leaving the head of the lake at Gorak Shep, you climb through a boulder strewn area. The trail then crosses the moraine wall and descends to the Khumbu Glacier which you cross. Take great care. The Base Camp is at 5,400 metres. The round trip from Gorak Shep takes over six hours.
• Day 10 - 12 : Return to Namche Bazaar and Lukla
  Allow three or four days for the return. You will probably be pleasantly surprise that as you descend you feel great rushes of energy. From Namche Bazaar to Lukla, you retrace your steps as far as Chablung then turn off above Chauri Kharka towards Lukla.
• Day 13: Fly from Lukla to Kathmandu
  This morning transfer to Lukla Airport for morning flight back to Kathmandu. During flight to Kathmandu you can see the close up views of the Himalayas. After landing, transfer to the Hotel.
