Upon your arrival in Kathmandu, you will be greeted by our representative who will assist you with your transfer to the hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to relax, explore the city, or prepare for your upcoming adventure.

After an early morning drive to Ramechhap, you will board a small plane for a scenic flight to Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region. From Lukla, you will embark on your trek to Phakding, a charming Sherpa village nestled along the Dudh Kosi River.

Today's trek takes you higher into the mountains, passing through dense rhododendron forests and offering stunning views of the surrounding peaks. Your destination is Namche Bazaar, a bustling Sherpa town that serves as a hub for trekkers and mountaineers.

To acclimatize to the high altitude, you will take a short hike to Khumjung, a nearby village famous for its monastery and Sherpa culture. This day is also an opportunity to explore Namche Bazaar's colorful market and learn more about the local lifestyle.

Leaving Namche Bazaar behind, you will continue your ascent towards Tengboche, a picturesque village nestled at the foot of Mount Everest. Tengboche Monastery, one of the largest Buddhist monasteries in the region, offers a peaceful atmosphere and stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
