Everest Base Camp Trek

Fly to Lukla and Trek to Phakding | Trek Duration: 3–4 hrs

Your journey begins with an early morning transfer to the airport. Depending on season and air traffic, your flight to Lukla departs either directly from Kathmandu or via Manthali, Ramechhap—requiring a 4–5 hour drive before the short but scenic mountain flight. The flight offers incredible aerial views of snow-capped peaks and rugged valleys before landing at Lukla (2,840m), the gateway to the Everest region.

Lobuche to Gorakshep –EBC and Return

Duration: 9–10 hours | Distance: 12 km

Start your day in Lobuche (4,910m) with an early breakfast and set out by 7:30 AM for one of the most iconic days on the Everest Base Camp Trek. The trail ascends gradually to Lobuche Pass (5,110m), revealing panoramic views of Pumori, Lingtren, and Khumbutse alongside the icy Khumbu Glacier.

After a steady trek through rugged moraines, reach Gorakshep (5,164m)—the last settlement before Everest Base Camp. Following lunch, continue your journey to the legendary Everest Base Camp (5,364m). Walk across glacial ridges and debris fields, with close-up views of the Khumbu Icefall and Everest’s western shoulder.

Standing at Base Camp, where climbers prepare to summit the world’s highest peak, is a profound and unforgettable experience. Though Everest’s peak is hidden, its power is palpable. Capture your moment, then return to Gorakshep by early evening for a warm drink and rest beneath towering Himalayan peaks.

Hike up to Kalapathar | Back to Goraktsep | Trek to Phiriche

Kala Patthar (5,545m) offers the best panoramic viewpoint of Mount Everest, far better than from Base Camp. From here, witness Everest glowing in golden light at sunrise, with clear views of Nuptse, Lhotse, and the majestic Ama Dablam. Behind you, Pumori towers over the ridge, while the Khumbu Glacier and Icefall twist dramatically below. This 360-degree Himalayan vista is the most accessible and rewarding close-up of the world’s highest peak—an unforgettable highlight of the Everest region trek.

Flight from Lukla to Kathmandu|Manthali

Conclude your unforgettable Everest journey with a scenic morning flight from Lukla Airport (2,860m)—one of the world’s most iconic high-altitude airstrips. Depending on weather and seasonal air traffic, you’ll fly either directly to Kathmandu (35 minutes) or to Manthali, Ramechhap (20 minutes). If flying to Manthali, a private vehicle will drive you 4–5 hours through picturesque countryside—terraced fields, riverside villages, and forested hills—back to Kathmandu.
