Everest High Passes Trek

Proceed with the UNESCO Heritage Sightseeing Tour after breakfast. After visiting Swyambhunath Temple, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan city, and Khokana Village, you will be transferred back to your accommodation. Spend the night in Kathmandu.

The morning begins with a magnificent mountain flight to Lukla, the starting point for the climb. The approximately 35-minute mountain flight provides a breathtaking view of the Himalayan Range. From Lukla, the trip begins along stone-paved trails leading to Bhaisekharka, and eventually reaches Phakding. On the route, there are numerous prayer rocks. Stay the night in Phakding.

The walk passes through a pine forest and along the Dudh Koshi River. Along the route, there is a magnificent view of the shimmering Mount Thamserku (6618m). Passing via the settlements of Benkar, Chumoa, and Monjo, the entry to Sagarmatha National Park is reached. The trail then ascends through trees and over bridges to the confluence of the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers. Prior to reaching Namche Bazaar, the trail passes past Jorsale Village, where you will catch your first glimpse of Mount Everest. Overnight in Namche.

This will be a day of proper acclimatization and sightseeing in Namche Bazaar, the commercial center of the Everest region, also known as the Sherpa capital. In the heart of Namche, you may visit the mountaineering museum and spend time conversing with the jovial Sherpas. Next, you can visit the headquarters of Sagarmatha National Park and the Tourist Visitor Centre. Beyond the center of this Sherpa capital, you may climb to the Everest View Hotel, the perfect spot for a panoramic view of some of the world's most impressive mountains, including Mount Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, and Lhotse, among others. In addition, you can walk around the Khumjung valley, Hillary School, and the famed Syangboche airfield before returning to Namche. Overnight in Namche.

After breakfast in Namche, the trail continues to Thamo, a historic settlement in the valley, via an easy walk. Thamo is a tiny Sherpa settlement. Following exploration of the settlement, the trail continues to Thame. After lunch, take a little break and then investigate the Sherpa hamlet and its culture. You can tour a tiny Hydro power plant. Spend the night in the Lodge.

After breakfast at the lodge, take a short stroll down the Bhote Koshi River to Marlung for a brief respite. The trail then ascends to Lumde across a dry valley. Enjoying the views of the snow-capped mountains and the valley is a fascinating aspect of this stroll. Today you will not visit Sherpa village, as Thame is the final settlement in the valley. After entering the settlement, hike a bit higher than the location of the resort to acclimatize. Spend the night in the Lodge.

After breakfast, the trail ascends for an hour and a half before leveling off for a while. At the summit of the Renjo La, you will enjoy a breathtaking view of Mount Everest, Mount Nuptse, and the surrounding peaks. In addition, you will witness Gokyo Lake, which has amazing views. The trail descends from the summit of Renjo La to the Third Lake (Gokya lake) and the lodge. After getting some rest at the Gokyo lodge, you will make a brief ascent to the ridge, from which you will explore the Glacial, which is a sight to behold with its little glacier lakes. Spend the night at the Gokyo lodge.

This is an easy day, but you should get an early start because you will be traversing the Ngozumpa Glacier, which is the longest glacier in Nepal. By the time you pass this glacier, the small glacial lake will be filled with the sounds of rocks tumbling into it. There are numerous ice-covered rocks along the path. During the day, ice melts very quickly, so we should cross this glacier before the sun becomes intense. After entering the Thaknak, it is best to ascend the short hill to acclimatize. Spend the night in the lodge.

This is the most difficult day of the trip. After a brief period of steep ascent, the trail descends to the base of the Chola, where you will begin your day. After there, the trail ascends steeply through the granite towards the summit. There are Buddhist prayer flags at the summit of the pass, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. There is an icy section for some distance, followed by a descent via a large rock formation and an easy trek to the Zungla. Spend the night in the lodge.

After a hearty breakfast at the lodge, the route to Lobuche is mostly downhill with a few ascents and descents. The trail then leads to Gorekshep through the rocky trail. On the route, you will have excellent views of Mount Everest, Mount Nuptse, Mount Pumori, and other mountains. On the journey, you will be able to glimpse Khumbu Glacier. You will reach Gorekshep, which is located at the base of Kalapatthar, after a few ups and downs. Spend the night in the lodge.

This day will fulfill your desire to visit the base camp of the world's tallest mountain. It takes three hours to traverse the crest of the Khumbu glacier. You will appreciate the surrounding mountain and glacier views. Buddhist prayer flags serve as the emblem for the Base Camp. Throughout the climbing season, there will be numerous colorful tendrils. After visiting the area, hike back to the resort and spend the remainder of the day relaxing there. Spend the night.

Today, you will have to begin your day without breakfast in order to make the two-hour ascent to Kalapatthar, the best vantage point for viewing Mount Everest, Mount Nuptse, Mount Pumori, Mount Amadablam, Mount Thamerserku, and Mera Peak, among others. After capturing numerous shots, descend to the Gorekshep lodge for breakfast and then continue your descent to Lobuche. Spend the night in the lodge.

After breakfast at the lodge, you will begin your day by heading eastward across the Khumbu glacier. After traversing the glacier and river, the trail ascends to the highest pass of the journey. There will be no tea store or water source, so you will need to bring a few water bottles with you. After a strenuous ascent to the summit, the trail descends precipitously to the Chukung valley, where your day concludes. Spend the night in the lodge.

Today is a simple, downhill day across the valley. The trail continues to descend to Dingboche and then, after passing through a few Sherpa settlements, the trekking valley changes. After the hamlet of Pangboche, the trail descends to the river and crosses the bridge. The trail then ascends to Tengboche, where the oldest monastery is located on top of a hill. Evening visit to the monastery and a Buddhist chanting ceremony, followed by an overnight stay at the lodge.

Today will begin with a hard descent into a Rhododendron forest. Cross the bridge at the base of the hill, then ascend steeply through the pine and juniper forest to reach Khumjung. After exploring the Khumjung hamlet, continue walking to Namche Bazaar for the night.

After breakfast at the lodge, the trail descends through a pine forest to a bridge, where it continues to Monju. Again, formalities had to be completed at the Monju National Park checkpoint before continuing on foot to Phakding for lunch. After that, on your final day of trekking, continue to Lukla. Spend the night in the lodge.

We travel back to Kathmandu today. This early morning flight is one of the most exciting you'll ever encounter due to the position of the airstrip and the frequently clear morning views from the plane. Overnight hotel stay.

The following day will be free. We will transfer you off at the Kathmandu International Airport in the afternoon for your trip home.
