Day 2: Fly to Lukla (2850m) and 3 Hours Hike to Phakding(2800m)
You will be flying to one of the world’s dangerous airports Lukla on this day. We will be leaving early in the morning from Hotel, and catch our flight. As the weather in Lukla is very unpredictable, thanks to the tallest mountains it is surrounded by, a few hours of flight delays are expected most of the time. After 30 minutes of flight, we will be taking a few snacks there and will be enjoying the view. You will be greeted by the Sherpas there and will introduce you to this iconic Himalayan town. After that, we will start our trekking towards Phakding, a small Sherpa village en route to Everest.

Day 3: 8 Hours Trek to Namche Bazaar
Our “only trek” starts from this day. We will be having breakfast and will be starting our trek at 8 am sharp. This 8 hours trek will take you through a number of Nepalese suspension bridges while encountering the mules, yaks, and horses throughout the trail. In addition to that, you will pass along the Sherpa village and have an understanding of their livelihood. We will be having our lunch on the way and will reach Namche before dusk.

Day 4: Acclimatization and explore Namche
We will be exploring the local life of Namche on this day as our Acclimatization day as we will be gaining altitude slowly. We will be hiking around the village to adapt to the height and also explore the Sherpa museum.

Day 5: 8 Hours Hike to Tengboche(3860m)
After having breakfast at Namche we will be hiking towards Tengboche, the largest Monastery in the Khumbu region of Nepal. The trail consists of both downhill and a few steep uphills, but you will be blessed with a majestic view and occasional sighting of Himalayan Tahr.

Day 6: 7-8 Hours Hike to Dingboche(4410m)
6th day is the day where you will be surrounded by big gigantic mountains all the time. Our expert guides will lead the trail and will be making sure that you are enjoying the trail and the view enough, enough of crafting memory in your mind for your lifetime. You will walk via a number of rivers and sherpa village while exchanging NAMASTE with passersby.

Day 7: Acclimatization day in Dingboche

You will be hiking and slowly walking towards 4500+ meters. Your guide will make sure that you are taking it slow while not missing the glimpse of big beautiful mountains all over. The hike could be a bit harder from this day but the view and the returning trekkers from the destination will give you a kind of comfort while sharing the experience.
9
Day 9: 4-6 hours Hike from Lobuche to Gorakshep(5164m)
This will be another hard trek as you will hike through the Himalayan Valley all the time. You will rarely see any plants there, meaning the oxygen level will be very low. Hence, you have to be taking it very slowly and just follow the group. You might feel a bit headache or a bit nauseated provided that this could be the highest altitude in your lifetime. This is often regarded as an achievement. You will reach Gorakshep for lunch, and after that, you will be taking a rest for some time while drinking ginger tea most of the time as a precaution. You will then leave for Kalapatthar’s viewpoint where you could see THE EVEREST just like you have imagined, just like you must have seen in pictures. Sunset view while the sunlight hits on the tip of the Everest gives Everest an orange look. You will just be amazed at the view and the experience overall.
