Welcome to Nepal! Upon your arrival at the airport, an Asian Heritage Treks & Travel representative will be there to greet you, holding your nameplate. From the airport, you’ll be transferred to your hotel. Along the way, you’ll pass through some important landmarks, including the Pashupatinath Temple, the Royal Palace Museum (also known as Narayanhity Palace), and the Garden of Dreams, before reaching Thamel, the tourist hub where your accommodation is located. The streets of Thamel offer plenty of opportunities for exploration.
Includes: private transport and an overnight stay at Hotel Yatri Suites and Spa or a similar hotel in Kathmandu.
You will start off with a flight to one of the world’s most exciting airports, Lukla Airport in Solukhumbu. The flight takes you over the Himalayas, giving you a breathtaking panorama view of the Himalayas, including the famous Mt.Everest, standing there with its snow-clad peak in all its glory. As the flight continues, you can feel Mt. Everest grow on you. Landing at Lukla Airport is going to be a lifetime experience in itself. The altitude will hit you the moment you get off the plane.
In the afternoon, you can stroll around Lukla. Lukla village is a popular place to visit in the Khumbu area. It is the starting point for all hiking trips in the Everest region.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
From Lukla, you will start the trek along the Dudh Koshi (Milky River), which can be seen meandering into the horizon. You will be trekking amidst a rhododendron forest, which gives off a strong aroma of evergreen oak. The sighting of snowy peaks acts as an indicator that the trek is gradually going to get more challenging and is the beginning of an adventure that will test one’s mental and physical strength.
Up, you are going to witness the flowing of snow-fed rivers eventually arriving at Mongo after crossing the suspension bridge and passing through several Buddhist stupas. In the evening, you can stroll around Manjo village.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
Embarking on this journey, you’ll find the trail starting with ease and gradually evolving into a challenging adventure. As you traverse the formidable Dudh Koshi, you’ll catch your first glimpse of Everest’s majesty. Continuing onward, you’ll reach Namche bazzar, which is the capital of the Sherpa and Tibetan people, and you will enjoy and see various restaurants and cafes, hotels, banks, and internet services.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
Namche Bazaar is also known as the Sherpa Capital. You can use your time to acclimatize, relax, and explore the surrounding places. Most of the trekkers prefer to get up before sunrise to view the magnificent views of Mount Everest, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, and other glorious peaks in Sagarmatha National Park. One can get a chance to observe the shadow of the mountains being pan-projected onto the clouds above and truly appreciate their magnitude.
As an energy supplier, one should try salt-butter tea and Champa, a kind of barley often consumed by the Sherpa in the region. The lively cultural Saturday market is worth a visit and is usually full of traders who are trying to desperately sell off their products.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
On the sixth day of your Everest Base Camp trek, you’ll make your way from the village of Namche Bazaar to Tengboche. Although it will be one of the most challenging days of the trek in terms of elevation gain (around 3,900 meters or 12,795 feet), it will also be the most rewarding as you get to take in the breathtaking views of the Everest Mountain Range.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
You will head from the Tengboche to the Dingboche. It will be an absolutely beautiful day as you make your way through the valley, with the glacier river down below and the snow-capped peaks out in the distance. Along the trek, you will pass by the village of Pangboche as well as the famous mountain of Ama Dablam, surely making this a memorable day of your Nepal hiking experience.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
We begin our trek, following the trail to Everest Base Camp. The uphill trek from Thukla to Memorial Park is the most challenging part, but it offers mesmerizing views of nature’s beauty. Along the way, you’ll encounter prayer flags left by brave mountaineers. Once we reach Lobuche, the second-highest village on the EBC trail, we’ll spend the night there.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
At that altitude, the trail to Gorakshep might seem a bit barren due to the climate. Expect to trek through snow-covered paths. Once at Gorakshep, take a moment to rest and soak in the incredible panoramic views of Mt. Everest and its neighboring peaks. If you’re up for it, consider visiting Kala Patthar for a breathtaking sunset view over the Himalayas later in the day.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
Next up is Kala Patthar (Kala means black and Patthar means rock), towering at 5,450m, followed by a visit to Everest Base Camp. Get ready for an awe-inspiring sight—the majestic Mount Everest and the breathtaking Khumbu Glacier Valley. After the exciting trek, it’s time to head back down to Gorakshep for a well-deserved meal and, hopefully, a cozy night’s sleep.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
The plan is to trek back to Namche Bazaar. The trail follows down to the Dudh Kosi, where there are a series of water-driven prayer wheels. The trek continues back to Sagarmatha National Park through paths of pine and cedarwood.
On the way, you will be able to see the Lhotse-Nuptse Wall and Everest peeking from behind. You can stop to appreciate the surreal view. Eventually, after a few hours of trekking, you will reach Namche, where you will be staying for the night.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
The trail takes you on a scenic journey, crossing the Dudh Kosi River, adorned with charming water-driven prayer wheels. As you wind through pine and cedarwood paths, you’ll return to Sagarmatha National Park, where you can enjoy a delightful lunch break in the picturesque Chumoa village. Continuing along the riverside to Phakding, you’ll see the snowy peaks vanish, marking the end of a challenging yet thrilling adventure that pushes your limits.
The journey then leads through a fragrant rhododendron forest with hints of evergreen oak, following the meandering Milky River (Dudh Koshi) into the horizon. After a few hours, you’ll reach Lukla, where you can relax and immerse yourself in the local culture. This trek offers a transformative experience, where the beauty of nature and personal growth come together to create an unforgettable journey.
Includes: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an overnight stay in an available local lodge.
The flight back to Kathmandu leaves before 10:00 a.m. The scheduled flight time can sometimes change according to the weather conditions. Once back in Kathmandu, you will be transferred to your hotel, where you will have the day off to rest and reflect on your trip.
Includes: breakfast and an overnight stay at the Hotel Yatri Suites & Spa in Thamel, Kathmandu.
Your trip comes to an end today. After breakfast, our representative will pick you up with a private van and drop you off at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport approximately three hours before your scheduled flight back to your home or other destination.
Have a safe journey onward, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
