Every travel enthusiast wants to trek in the Everest Region at least once in their lifetime. This celebrated trail is well known for its diversity, locals, food, its alluring natural beauty and most of all, the glorious Himalayas. To watch the morning sunlight meet the high mountains as the first ray hits the earth is truly a wonderful experience to witness. Another advantage of this package is flying over Everest on a helicopter to observe it from above the clouds. All this can be done in a short trek where there is no hassle of walking all the way up to the Base Camp.  From Kathmandu, we will fly to Lukla. The trekking starts from this trekkers hub of Khumbu Region as we walk towards Phadking, Monjo, Namche Bazar and finally to Syangboche. From here, we will charter the helicopter to fly us to Everest. We will spend some time here on the Base Camp amidst all the colorful tents and prayer flags. Later, we will fly back to Kathmandu making a trek combined with helicopter tour for a total of 8 days including Arrival and Departure.

*The Khumbu region opens its doors to all the trekkers and climbers to explore the Beautiful land of the Himalayas. On the other hand, we should respect the mountains and the culture prevailing in the Himalayas. Our guides are experienced and familiar to the Sagarmatha region. As your safety is our superior priority, we request you to communicate with your team leaders/guides and cooperate accordingly for a healthy, happy and sustainable trekking experience.

Later in the evening, the company will host a welcome dinner for you in a local cuisine restaurant with music and dance. This is also a great opportunity to get introduced to the diversified community of Nepal.

On the 2nd day of your trek, we will have a valley sightseeing tour. Kathmandu is famous for its monuments, stupa and shrines. Some monuments and temples are even listed under the UNESCO World Heritage Site for its architecture and its fascinating history. Following it, our first stop will be Pashupatinath Temple. Pashupatinath is a Hindu temple worshipping Lord Shiva. It is famous amidst the thousands of pilgrims who come to this sacred site every year. Next stop will be Boudhanath. Boudhanath is a Buddhist stupa encircled within a Tibetan community. The stupa lies on the ancient trade route to Tibet. Next stop, we will explore Swayambhunath, famously known as the Monkey Temple. Situated on top of a hill, this stupa is home to various monkeys transferring from the forests nearby; thus earning its name. Our last stop will be Kathmandu Durbar Square, a historic area surrounded by palaces and monuments dating back to the Malla Dynasty. If time permits, we will also visit the Patan Durbar Square. After a fruitful day, we come back to our hotel for a good night’s rest and preparation for our trek tomorrow. 

Today will be the day we will finally start our trek. Early morning, we will drive to the airport to fly to Lukla. Lukla is the center point for those who travel to the Khumbu Region since it has the only airport in operation. Thus, after breakfast in the hotel we fly to the small settlement in the Khumbu Region. Lukla originally means a place of goats and sheep. Nevertheless, rarely any sheep and goats are found in this area today. But we will come across various trekkers lodge, cafes and restaurants as this area has been heavily commercialized. Upon landing in Lukla, we officially start the trek by walking towards our destination for today. From Lukla, we walk along the stone and Mani walls until we reach Chheplung. Walking along the Dudh Koshi Nadi (River) we start witnessing the difference in culture and the society of the people prevailing in this region. We start getting the glance of mountains such as Kusum Kangru and enjoy the painted mani walls and prayer flags. From here, we will cross settlements such as Nurning and Chhuthuwa. The downhill walk now continues through dense forest, small Sherpa villages, and suspension bridge to Phakding. Overnight at Phadking.

After breakfast, we start walking to the Monjo valley today. Monjo is a small settlement that lies in the north of Phadking at 2835m. Crossing the Dudh Koshi River over a suspension bridge, we walk alongside the river on the west. Few more river crossing and we finally start walking along the rhododendron and magnolia forests until reaching Monjo. Upon reaching Monjo, we can either choose to rest or visit the nearby monasteries and settlements. Overnight at Monjo.

Our destination for today is Namche bazaar. Namche is also considered as the trekker’s hub since it is considered as the gateway to Everest. The settlement has various facilities like communication and clinics making it famous among the locals and the trekkers. From Monjo, we will cross the Sagarmatha National Park Entrance gate and walk towards Larja Dobhan. Crossing Larja Dobhan, we will finally get our first view of Mt. Everest. The magnificent glory stands tall in 8848m surrounded by various other mountain massifs. Crossing the Dudh Koshi River over suspension bridge we will walk on a steep trail upon finally reaching Namche. We will be welcomed by the hustle and bustle of the Sherpas and the trekkers as we finally feel like we have come to the foothills of the Himalayas to see its beauty. Overnight at Namche.

On the 6th day of our trek, we will finally reach Syangboche from where we take the helicopter flight to Everest Base Camp. Syangboche is a 2 hour trek from Namche. We take the west route towards Syangboche. Upon reaching the destination, we can either rest or walk around and explore the settlement. The location gives a great view of Everest and other mountains situated in the Khumbu Area. We have a final preparation for the flight tomorrow and we rest for the day. overnight at Khumjung

Today is the most awaited day in the entire trek as we will fly to the Everest Base Camp. The notion of flying around the mountains itself is an appealing idea. Add the excitement of being in the foothill of the highest mountain in the world and you will get a complete package of mountain adventure. From Syangboche we will fly to Everest Base Camp. The flight will take us to the Everest Base Camp but we will only stop for few minutes due to altitude sickness threat. The Base Camp lies at an altitude of 5364m. Thus, we can be a victim of AMS. To avoid this, we enjoy the scenario and return back to the capital city. In the evening we will have a farewell dinner where we can take feedback and discuss on your experience. Overnight in Kathmandu.

On the departure day we will drop you off to the airport. Nonetheless, if your flight later in the day, you can also do some souvenir shopping. If you plan to extend your trip further or plan your next trip, we are happy to help you to plan and customize your trip. Namaste and have a safe journey.
