Our online briefing will answer all your questions about the trek. We'll tell you what to bring, share the trek plan, and explain what to expect. After you book, we'll email you available briefing times. Once we get your important documents, we'll organize the online briefing.
Lukla Flight Information
During busy trekking times (March, April, May, October, and November), flights to Lukla often leave from Ramechhap (Manthali) instead of Kathmandu. This is because of airport traffic. If this happens, you'll need to leave Kathmandu around 12:30 AM for a five-hour drive to catch your flight from Ramechhap on your trek day. At other times, flights usually go straight from Kathmandu.
Flights to Lukla can be delayed by weather, so it's smart to add at least two extra days to your trip. This helps you avoid missing your flight home.

Day to Day Itinerary
Flight from Kathmandu/Manthali to Lukla (2,850m / 9,350ft) Trek to Phakding (2650m / 8562ft)
The journey starts early in the morning. If you are trekking during busy seasons (March, April, May, September, October, and November), flights to Lukla from Kathmandu may be rerouted to Manthali Airport. For an early morning flight to Lukla, we will wake you up at your hotel around 12:30 am and take you on a 5-hour drive to Manthali Airport. The flight to Lukla from Manthali lasts about 20 minutes.
You can avoid the long drive to Manthali by booking a helicopter from Kathmandu to Lukla, but it will cost you around 550 USD, considering five persons share the helicopter costs.
If you are trekking in other months (December, January, February, June, July, and August), you will fly to Lukla from Kathmandu. After breakfast, we will take you to Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) for an exciting and scenic 40-minute flight to Tenzing Hillary Airport at Lukla. From the prosperous Lukla village, we will trek to Phakding. Today's trek will be short and enjoyable as you will also be acclimatizing. During your spare time, you can visit local monasteries and explore Phakding.
Trek from Phakding (2,650m / 8,562ft) to Namche Bazaar (3,440m / 11,285ft)
You will begin your trek early morning along the northern banks of the Dudh Koshi River crossing many suspension bridges, including the Hillary Suspension Bridge. Little ahead lies Sagarmatha National Park check post, where we will register our permits and climb through dense forest. From this forest, you will get the first sight of Mt. Everest. Trekking further, we reach Namche Bazaar - the gateway to Everest Base Camp.
Rest day and Acclimatization at Namche Bazaar
Today is the scheduled acclimatization day. You can explore Namche Bazaar- full of Wi-Fi-connected cafes and restaurants, souvenir and gear shops, clubs, and bars. Additionally, you can hike to Sagarmatha National Park Visitor Center, Khunde, and Khumjung. The Sherpa towns of Khunde and Khumjung are an hour's trek away from Namche Bazaar. You will also be hiking up to Everest View Hotel to get spectacular views of Mt. Everest. We will then head back to Namche Bazaar to spend the night.
Trek from Namche (3,440m / 11,285ft) to Tengboche (3,855m / 12,850ft) / Deboche
From Namche, we begin our trek to Tengboche. On the way, you will enjoy the stunning views of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The trail is full of ups and downs, which makes it challenging, but the views reward us amply. You can even spot wildlife on the way - such as musk deer, pheasant, and Himalayan tahr. We will further trek down and cross the Dudh Koshi river.
Passing through dense alpine forests, you will eventually reach a small settlement called Phunki Thenga. Deboche is a little ahead of Phunki Thenga. You will also see Tengboche Monastery (the biggest monastery in the Khumbu region) on the way. In your spare time, you can visit monasteries in and around Deboche.
Trek from Tengboche (3,855m / 12,850ft) to Dingboche (4,360m / 14,290ft)
We will hike through the upper trail to reach Pangboche village, passing many chortens, mani walls, and smaller villages. From the path, you will be getting stunning views of Ama Dablam. The trek is a little easier as we enter the Imja Valley, following the Lobuche River.
Then comes the steepest climb to Dingboche, where you will see the fields surrounded by stone walls protecting crops like barley, buckwheat, and potatoes from cold wind. Today's trek will be a little challenging due to the higher elevation.
Rest day and acclimatization at Dingboche
It is time for a second day acclimatization at Dingboche. We have gained substantial height, so we must let our body time adjust to the thin air. However, that does not mean we will be staying idle. You will be walking up the ridge above Dingboche to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views of the snow-capped peak Lhotse, the backside of Ama Dablam, the Island peak, Cho Oyu, and Makalu. You will also see the Himalayan peaks surrounding the Khumbu Khola Valley to the north.
Trek from Dingboche (4,360m / 14,290ft) to Lobuche (4,930m / 16,175ft)
The trek to Lobuche will be an interesting one as we will be able to enjoy the stunning mountain views throughout the hike. At first, the trail leads you to a short uphill near a ridge of a top shrine following the wide valley. We will then be crossing a glacial moraine and a small collection of lodges. The trek becomes higher, and we get better views of several snow peaks. On the way lies memorial statues of the climbers who could not succeed in this harsh terrain. The hike to Lobuche is enjoyable. Upon arrival, you will notice that Lobuche has a comparatively large settlement with many hotels and shops.
Trek from Lobuche (4,930m / 16,175ft) to Everest Base Camp (5,364m / 17,598ft) and back to Gorak Shep (5,185m / 17,010ft)
Today is your big day as you will be stepping on the Everest Base Camp itself. However, we begin our trek from Lobuche and head to the Everest Base Camp. We will be trekking through the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier to reach the mesmerizing Gorak Shep that sits surrounded by stunning mountain peaks.
We leave our luggage at Gorak Shep and head to Everest Base Camp. You spent your time and energy to reach Everest Base Camp, to experience this very moment. As you stay at the Everest Base Camp, enjoying the incredible views, you might get flooded with the memories of your struggle to get here.
This is the closest you will ever be to Everest unless you want to climb it. With a rush of pride in your bodies and a celebratory mood, you will enjoy the views and click pictures to the heart's content. Then you will head back to Gorak Shep for the evening.
Hike to Kala Patthar Viewpoint (5,555m / 18,208ft), trek to Gorak Shep to Pheriche (4,250m / 13,945ft)
Today is the climax of the trip. Kala Patthar is a famous viewpoint that gives you splendid panoramic views of Mt. Everest and other peaks. You will be hiking to Kala Patthar at dawn to view the sunrise on Mt. Everest and nearby peaks.
After spending a while at the viewpoint, we will trek to Gorak Shep for breakfast and rest a while. Then we will be passing through dense forests and meadows to reach Pheriche - a small beautiful village. On the way, you might find yourself reflecting on the memories you created at the Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar.
Trek from Pheriche (4,250m / 13,945ft) to Tengboche (3,855m / 12,850ft)
You will be trekking down the hillside trails covered by rhododendron trees. During spring, the surroundings look colorful, thanks to blooming rhododendrons. Your journey will take you across a bridge over the Imja Khola and head into the Juniper forest, eventually reaching Dingboche. After a final steep climb, you will reach the famous monastery of Tengboche. You will be spending the night at Tengboche.
Trek from Tengboche (3,855m / 12,850ft) to Namche Bazaar (3,440m / 11,285ft)
The trail to Namche Bazaar takes us through dense forests full of wildlife like pheasants, musk deer, mountain goats, or even snow leopards. If you are lucky, you might get the chance to spot these animals. While heading back, you can click pictures and enjoy the views of the tip of Everest and the backside of Lhotse. After arriving at Namche Bazaar, you will head to your hotel to rest.
Trek from Namche Bazaar (3,440m / 11,285ft) to Phakding (2,650m / 8,690ft)
As we continue our return, the path is downhill, following the banks of the Dudh Koshi River. Once more, you will find yourself crossing many suspension bridges. After trekking through several forests and small villages, you will finally reach Phakding, a little ahead of Benkar.
Trek from Phakding (2,650m / 8,690ft) to Lukla (2,850m / 9,350ft)
This day marks the end on the trekking trails. We return down the Dudh Koshi Valley. The route from the Kusum stream is quite gentle uphill to Lukla. Before reaching Lukla, the trail heads steeply to the west. After the first climb, the path leads to a small village - Toktok. The views from Toktok will be entirely different. Eventually, you will reach the large town of Lukla, from where you will take a flight back to Kathmandu the next day.
Fly back to Kathmandu/Manthali from Lukla (2,850m / 9,350ft)
At the end of your trek, from Lukla, you will fly to Manthali or Kathmandu, depending on the trekking season. You will, most probably, fly to Manthali, and then we will drive you to Kathmandu if trekking in March, April, May, September, October, or November. In other months (December, January, February, June, July, and August), you will fly to Kathmandu directly.
You can avoid the 5-hour drive from Manthali to Kathmandu, provided you spend around 550 USD extra to book a helicopter, which you will share with four other people.
We hope your flight from Lukla will be relaxing as you will relish your memories on the trails. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you have the rest of the day to enjoy yourself.

Arrival, Welcome, and Trek Start
We ensure your arrival and departure in Nepal are seamless and provide complimentary airport-to-hotel transfers for all clients booking treks with us. When you arrive at Kathmandu airport, you will find our representative, holding a placard with your name and a traditional garland. After presenting you with a marigold garland, they will transfer you to your hotel in a private vehicle.
We request you arrive in Kathmandu at least by 3 pm one day before the trek departure. It allows ample preparation time. On the trek departure day, we’ll escort you from your hotel to the domestic airport for a flight to Lukla, with the flight cost included in your package.
During peak trekking seasons (March, April, May, September, October, and November), flights to Lukla from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) may take place from Manthali Airport due to heavy air traffic. In these months, on the trek departure day, our guide will pick you up from your hotel at around 12:30 am for a five-hour drive to Manthali, followed by a 20-minute flight to Lukla.
In other months (December, January, February, June, July, and August), flights to Lukla operate directly from Kathmandu. On these days, you will take a 40-minute flight to Lukla, and we will transfer you to Kathmandu Airport in the early morning.
Accommodations
The 14-day trek includes 13 nights of accommodations in the trek region. Six nights are at the luxurious Yeti Mountain Home in Lukla, Phakding (2N), and Namche (3N). You will spend the remaining nights in standard accommodations at Tengboche (2N), Dingboche (2N), Pheriche, Lobuche, and Gorakshep.
Electricity for charging your devices, Wi-Fi for net access, and hot showers at Yeti Home and other lodges are available. However, you might have to pay for it.
You will need at least two additional nights in Kathmandu, but our package does not cover them. Kathmandu offers a range of hotels to match your preferences.
Meals
This package includes 14 breakfasts, 14 lunches, and 13 dinners. Meals at Yeti Mountain Home feature seven buffet breakfasts, six buffet dinners, and two buffet lunches. Other meals will be at standard lodges.
The menu primarily includes traditional Nepali, Asian, and Western dishes, but options become limited at higher altitudes. We recommend fresh vegetables, green tea, hot lemon, ginger tea, garlic soup, and Nepali staples like Dal Bhat Tarkari.
Avoid non-veg dishes, caffeinated drinks, and alcohol at high altitudes for health and hygiene reasons.

-
Extra Expenses
This package covers most expenses during the trek but not all of them. You are responsible for meals and accommodations in Kathmandu, visa fees, snacks, hot showers, Wi-Fi, charging devices, personal equipment, tips for the crew, etc. We estimate you will need around USD 20 per trek day to cover your expenses.
Trek Season and Weather Conditions
The best time to trek to Everest Base Camp depends on the weather and personal preferences. If you want an easy hike with fabulous views, spring or autumn treks are for you. In spring, temperatures at high altitudes rise to around 20 °C during the day and drop to -5 °C at night. In autumn, daytime temperatures can reach 25 °C, while nighttime temperatures fall to -10 °C.

Summer treks may face slippery trails in lower elevations due to monsoon rains, and flight delays are possible. Winter treks experience extreme cold temperatures at higher altitudes, with heavy snow often covering the trails.
-
Flight Delays
<>Flights to and from Lukla are weather-dependent. Helicopter alternatives are available but may cost USD 500–1,000, provided five persons share the cost. Add 1–2 buffer days to your schedule to account for delays.
Typical Day
Each day starts with an early breakfast, followed by 3-4 hours of trekking, an hour lunch break, and a shorter afternoon trek. We serve dinner at around seven pm. After dinner, guides will brief you on the next day’s plan. Evenings are for rest, exploration, or activities like board games and cultural interaction.
