Take an early flight from Kathmandu to Lukla airport, and seat at the north side to get better view. Upon arrival at Lukla bazaar, meet our entire crew, have breakfast, and go.
Hike from Lukla to Phakding is one of the easiest parts as the landscapes go simply up in ascending order. The journey goes further with a gentle climb up the mountainside of the Dudh Koshi river. Passing several Sherpa localities, we reach Bengkar village.
The trail ascends through the Koshi riverbank into the mountain, through a forest to Chumoa. We continue along the trail with many ups and downs; cross a stream, and pass by the tiny Monjo village. We come to the Sagarmatha National Park office where everyone should pay the park entrance fee. We follow a short walk along the riverbed of this valley where the major river meets each other. Crossing over the Hillary bridge, the trek begins the steep ascent to Namche Bazar. On the way, we have magnificent views of Mount Everest (8848m) and Lhotse (8516m). Surrounded on three sides by mountain ranges, Namche Bazaar is a central area for food, climbing gear, and other necessary goods.
We start with a steep one-hour climb to the Sengboche airstrip (3790m), from where we will slowly ascent towards Khunde passing numerous stone Buddhist monuments “chorten” and hill station. Trek over the hill station to have an excellent view of Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Nuptse, Lhotse, Tawche, Kwangde, and many other snowy peaks at 360 deg angles. We walk further to Khumjung village which is the largest village in Khumbu, at the foothill of the sacred Khumbila mountain. We can also visit the Khumjung monastery, a small settlement of the mountain Sherpa community.
The trail goes ahead leaving a steep cliff that drops down to the Dudh Kosi river. Get an amazing panorama such as Ama Dablam (6,812m), Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse (7,855m), and Tawoche (6,501m) on your walking. We walk to Tengboche monastery passing Trashinga, Phunki Tenga, and the colorful Rohodondrons forest. Tengboche offers a fine view of sunrise and sunset at Mount Everest and Ama Dablam.
We trek leaving Tengboche at the backdrop, we descend through a rhododendron forest and enter Deboche village. Cross a suspension bridge at Imja Khola, we head towards Minlinggo and inter Imjatse Valley beneath the mighty peaks of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and Lhotse. Stay overnight in the lodge.
For the first part hike until Dhugla Lodge is very easy on walking over the flat ground. Along the line of travel, travelers get the best panoramic views of the mystical mountains. They are Mt.Tawache, Ama Dablam, Pokalde (5,741m), Kongma-Tse (5,820m). Additionally, tourists can view cholatse lake and also the great wall of Nuptse peak. Get your delicious lunch at Dughla guest house at 4,620 meters.
Leaving Lobuche, the magical view of mount Pumori and Cholatse, Lobuche and Amadablam is simply eye-catching. Hike further walk over the rocky mountain glaciers, we reach the sandy ground at Gorakshep. We hike to ebc (Everest base camp) and return to stay overnight at Lobuche base camp in a tent.
On Lobuche base camp arrival, the mountain guide will provide basic practice on peak climbing techniques about using climbing gears. They are nice axles, climbing boots, crampons, harnesses, ascenders, etc, and on how to go up and down using ropes. We believe that some training experience will boost your confidence and climbing skills. Thus, it helps you to increase the chances of scaling the summit as well as to fully enjoy the experience.
We start early in the morning to climb Lobuche east peak but it all depends on the weather condition. Reaching the summit, you will catch the best panorama of mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Tawache, Cholatse, Pumori, Changri, and more in a row. After a safe descent to base camp, clean the base camp, and stay overnight at camp.
There is no such guarantee that we can get quite favorable weather while climbing. So this day is used as a contingency in case we are unable to get to the summit on an earlier day. If the weather gets exceptionally unfavorable, we wisely have to postpone the program. Sometimes somebody in the group may get some problems acclimatizing well enough to make the ascent; the day can be used in that condition too. If the trip goes smoothly, we do not need this spare day.
Today, we descend the valley via Imja Khola to Pangboche village with its stone-walled potato fields, down alpine pastures through the Himalayan YAKS kharkas. Pangboche village is the highest year-round settlement in the valley offers an oldest monastery, a lot of nice lodges, and shops.
Finally, the trek descends from Tengboche to Namche Bazaar passing several villages ie. Sanasa and Lagusasa. You will catch the way descends from Gokyo valley. We trek furthermore twenty minutes to find a lodge for lunch and a short pause.
After Lunch at Sanasa, we hike up to Khumjung village where one can visit traditional villages landscapes. You might also visit Hillary Hospital located in Khunde. And in the meantime, we follow the trail to the Monastery which offers Yeti Scalp. Finally, we come to Namche Bazaar in the late afternoon.
We trek to Lukla airport with the same path like we ascent on our first day hikes. Today is the last day of our hikes so the climbers will invite their hiking crew for delicious dinner together as from tomorrow they will not be together.
We board our early flight from Lukla to Kathmandu airport. Upon arrival at Kathmandu Tribhuvan international airport, we arrange a return transfer back to your hotel. In the afternoon, go shopping or request us to discover Kathmandu as a guided trip at an additional cost. And our trip ends. Wish you a wonderful journey.
