Itinerary
Day 1: Kathmandu
Day 2: Kathmandu/Phakding
The mountain flight into Lukla is spectacular and the landing an exciting beginning to the trek – one end of the runway is 60m (197ft) higher than the other. The flight is on a small Dornier / Twin Otter flight and flight duration is generally around 25 – 30 minutes.
Once in Lukla, head through pine and cedar woods along the Dudh Kosi to Phakding. Spend the next three nights trekking in the area and acclimatizing in preparation for heading to base camp. This is a challenging trip and involves difficult trekking at high altitudes but the whole experience is simply awe-inspiring!
Day 3: Phakding/Namche Bazaar
An acclimatisation day allows for an excursion to Thame and Khumjung, the green village.
Day 4: Namche Bazaar
Total time spent hiking today will be around 3 hours.
Day 5: Namche Bazaar to Tengboche
Day 6: Tengboche to Dingboche
Day 7: Dingboche
An acclimatization day here can be used to hike up the Imja Khola to Chhukung or Nagarzhang Peak, a small summer settlement from where stunning views of Island Peak, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and the fluted ice walls flanking the Amphu Lapcha pass can be seen. These views are one of the highlights of the entire trek.
Day 8: Dingboche/Lobuche
Day 9: Everest Base Camp (Gorak Shep).

Day 11: Pheriche to Kenjuma

The whole tour and itinerary was perfect for the type of program that I wanted. Expectations were exceeded. Tour guides, staff and everyone involved were welcoming and friendly and the whole experience was memorable. Highly recommended. Our tour guide, Maski was 10/10 - could not have asked for a better person to look after us.
