Itinerary

You will be greeted at the airport by a representative from Mystic Nepal and transported to your hotel.  Unwind from your flight and meet us in the evening for a welcome dinner at a traditional Nepalese restaurant.
Relax for the afternoon and enjoy a guided tour of Kathmandu’s unique attractions. We’ll spend the day exploring several of the city’s most famous cultural landmarks like the sacred Hindu pilgrimage site Pashupatinath on the banks of the Bhagamati, Swayambunath (Monkey Temple), and Bouddhanath, Nepal’s largest and most revered Buddhist stupa. In the evening we’ll meet with your trekking guide and team members for a trip briefing and preparations for the journey.
You’ll be picked up at your hotel after breakfast and transferred to Tribhuvan airport for an amazing flight to the Tenzing-Hillary airstrip at Lukla.  Greeted by Kongde’s towering peak, we’ll begin our moderate ascent to Phakding where we spend our first night.
Today’s climb takes us along a wonderfully scenic trail following the Dudh Koshi, with an outstanding view of Mt. Thamserku for much of the journey.  We catch a peak of the distant Mt. Everest near Chautara. We’ll pass the checkpoint into the Sagarmatha National Park, and after crossing a high suspension bridge spanning the confluence of the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers, we’ll make the final climb to Namche Bazaar.
Spend the day enjoying the sights around Namche Bazaar, the Khumbu region’s main commercial center. Several short climbs to spots of interest are available to help us acclimatize, including the Tourist Visitor Center and museum, or the Everest View Hotel, from where breathtaking views can be enjoyed.
Ascend up the steep hill from Namche Bazaar, we follow a trail hugging an alpine hillside against a horizon of jagged peaks including Ama Dablam, Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, and an up close view of Mt. Thamserku. Will descend to Phunki Tenga, then make the steep climb to Tengboche for a visit to the region’s largest monastery. An hour’s walk through the forest will take us to our overnight stop at Deboche.
We’ll enjoy unparalleled views of Ama Dablam as we enter the Imja Valley, passing several Chortens and Mani walls scrawled with Tibetan script and draped in prayer flags. Descending to the Lobuche River, we’ll make a steep climb toward Dengboche, passing over a valley of potato, buckwheat, and barley fields enclosed within a massive valley.
Beginning with a climb through the Khumbu Khola valley, we cross a windswept expanse of stark mountain scenery. We descend into a narrow valley with stunning white peaks populating the horizon. We’ll pass the camping sites of the first successful Everest summit near Phulung Karpo and catch a peak of Chola lake on our descent to Duglha.
The amazing terminal moraine of Khumbu glacier comes into view as we continue up the pass to Chupki Lhara. We crest a ridge to meet of field of memorial stones and prayer flags honoring a number of climbers who have perished on expeditions in the region. We descend from the ridge and emerge into a vivid landscape of sand colored moraine and the impossibly white faces of Pumori, Khumbutse, and Lingtren on our way to Lobuche.
Each bend in the trail brings scenery more epic than the last as we near the source of the Khumbu glacier nestled deep in the heart of the Khumbu region.  An amazing view of Pumori unfolds before us, with the black face of Kala Pattar awaiting beneath it. Surrounded by epic white peaks, gazing down at the vast expanse of ice formations below, the descent into Gorak Shep will be an experience impossible to forget. After resting at Gorak Shep, we’ll follow a trail across a rocky ridge studded with boulders directly adjacent to the massive Khumbu glacier to Everest base camp, returning for the night in Gorak Shep.
An early morning wake up and the challenge of your life awaits today.  The two hour climb to Kala Pattar will be the ultimate test of endurance on this journey. Arriving at the top of the famed black rock as the sun rises will be a personal achievement to go down in the record books, with an amazing panorama of the region as a reward. After returning for breakfast in Gorak Shep, we’ll begin our return journey to Pheriche.
Coming down from the altitude will be a great relief, as if a giant weight has been lifted off your shoulders. The scenery on the return will take on a different appearance as well – as you pass each amazing vista you’ll want to savor them for the last time. The speed of descent will vary according to our condition, but you’ll be amazed at how the environment changes as we travel from rocky glacial terrain to verdant hillsides.
The final descent to Lukla is steep and rocky, but the oxygen-rich air will bring great comfort. Descending into the lush jungles against the roar of the Dudh Koshi below, we’ll leave the Himalayan giants behind us and stop for our final rest in Lukla.
A morning flight will bring us back to Kathmandu. You’ll be escorted from Tribhuvan airport to your hotel. Enjoy the sights and sounds of bustling Thamel for the evening and reminisce upon an amazing journey.
Take care of any last minute shopping or sightseeing as time permits. You’ll be picked up at your hotel three hours prior to your departure flight. Thanks for traveling with us. Farewell and Namaste.

Trip Notes

This trekking route has been chosen with attention to preventing AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) through adequate time for acclimatization via a gradual ascent. With this in mind, know that trekking to Everest base camp will prove to be strenuous, involving an average 7 hours daily of walking on varying terrain at high altitudes. The best seasons for this trek are Spring (Mar – May) and Autumn (Sep – Nov), providing for sunny days and cold (but not freezing) nights. Keep in mind that these are obviously the seasons with the most traffic on the trails. The winter and summer seasons will appeal to those who yearn for a more private experience. Winter season (late Dec – Feb) can bring some beautifully crisp days, but the temperatures can be well below freezing at higher altitudes. Summer season (Jun – Jul) is usually doused in monsoon rain, but the vegetation will be exceptionally lush.
