Day 3: We start our trek at the end of the paved road in Jiri. After crossing a stream the track leaves the road and starts to climb uphill through trees to several wooden Bhattis at the tiny settlement of Bharkur. We keep climbing to the Mali Danda (2440m./8052ft.), from where there are good views of the peaks near Rolwaling. Beyond Mali Danda we descent into the Khimti valley through the sparsely populated Sherpa settlement of Mali khola and continue our way to the crossing of the Yelung Khola river at 1860m. After crossing the Khimti Khola (river) on another suspension bridge we will reach Shivalaya(1810m./5973ft.) in 4 hours walking then stay there overnight at lodge on FB basis..

As we leave Kenja we start to ascent steeply towards Chimbu and continue on towards Sete(2520m./8316ft.).We walk 6 hours today and stay there overnight at lodge on FB basis.

Day 6: From today our trek is completely in Sherpa country and starts by climbing from Sete to the top of the 3530m./11649ft. high Lamjura Bhanjyang. The way is scenic and varied through forests of rhododendron, magnolia, maple and birch. This section of the trail is also well known for spotting birds like sunbirds, minavets, flycatchers, laughing thrushes and many others. Lamjura Bhanjyang is the highest point on the trek between Jiri and Namche Bazaar and is marked by a tangle of stones, twigs and prayer flags. On the eastern side of the pass the route descents steeply for about 400m through fragrant fir and hemlock forests and then levels out passing the small village of Tragdobuk . Continuing our way down we will arrive in Junbesi(2580m./8514ft.) 6 hours walking, a splendid Sherpa village amid beautiful surroundings then stay there overnight at lodge on FB basis.

Day 7: After leaving Junbesi in the morning we cross the Junbesi Khola (river) and then climb steeply uphill, contouring above the houses to the end of the ridge. From here we have excellent views of Everest, Thamserku , Kantega  and Mera Peak . This is the first view of Everest on this trek, although the lower peaks in the foreground seem to dwarf the higher, more distant mountains. After passing the Ringmo Khola , the trail ascends to Ringmo village, with its abundant fruit orchards. Beyond Ringmo we climb to the Trakshindu La pass (3071m./10134ft.), where we can see the isolated monastery of Takshindu, a superb example of Sherpa architecture. We now descent through forests of conifer and rhododendron, passing shepherd's huts and bhattis alongside the trail until we reach Nhuntala (2200m./7260ft.)6 hours walking then stay there overnight at lodge on FB basis.

Day 8: From Nhuntala the descent continues to the Dudh Kosi (‘Milk River’) and cross this river using a 109m long suspension bridge. Our trek then climbs out of the river valley through fields of barley, wheat and corn to the sprawling Rai village of Jubing . We continue to climb up a ridge to a Sherpa village named Khari Khola . Beyond this village we climb past some water driven mills to Bupsa (2340m./7722ft.) 5 hours walking then stay there overnight at lodge on FB basis.

Day 9: Our trek today starts with a gentle climb, passing the village of Kharte and continues on through forests inhabited by monkeys. From this part of the trek we can admire views of Cho Oyu (8153m.26905ft.). We keep climbing the ridge till we reach the teashop on Khari la pass. From the pass, the trail descents into the deep canyon of Puiyan Khola. After crossing this river on a wooden bridge we reach the small settlement of Puiyan .The trail climbs up and down for about an hour after Puiyan to a ridge that offers a good view of the Khumbu region and then descents 500m towards Surkhe.

Day 10: After leaving Chablung we will cross the Tharo Kosi river on a local-style suspension bridge. Just past the bridge we can see the peak of Kusum Kangru (6367m./21011ft.), which is the most difficult of the so-called “trekking peaks”. Beyond the Tharo Kosi the trail climbs a bit towards Ghat, we will cross a ridge marked with painted mani stones and climb to Phakding. From Phakding we follow the valley of the Dudh Kosi river, staying on the west bank of the river. We climb steeply over a rocky ridge towards Benkar . From here the trail continues alongside the river. All along this part of the trail, villages are interspersed with magnificent forests of rhododendron, magnolia and giant firs. In both the early autumn and late spring, the flowers on this portion of the trek make it a beautiful walk. We cross the Kyashar Khola river and climb out of the valley to Manjo. Just beyond Manjo the trek enters the Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park, which was established in 1976 to protect 1148 sq km area surrounding Mt Everest. Beyond the national park entrance station, the trail makes a steep rocky descent and crosses the Dhud Kosi river on a 120m-long suspension bridge towards Jorsale. After crossing this river a few times while climbing our way up the valley we will reach Namche Bazaar (3440m./11352ft.). Namche Bazaar is the main trading centre in this region and features numerous shops, hotels and restaurants (7 hrs walking). Stay there overnight at lodge on FB basis.

Day 11: Rest day- Acclimatization
Namche Bazaar is tucked away between two ridges amongst the giant peaks of the Khumbu. Once named the 'Trekkers Mecca of Nepal’, Namche now boasts plenty of lodges and souvenir shops. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day, acclimatizing to the new altitude  before heading off towards Everest Base Camp. Options for acclimatization walks include a visit to Khumjung Village and Khumjung gompa which has a Yeti skull,  and also the one hour walk up to the Everest Hotel (3850m./12705ft.) above Namche for the sunset view of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest. Stay at same Lodge on FB basis.

Day 12: The trail contours around the side of the valley, high above the Dudh Kosi. Now we get our first really good views of the great peaks - Khumbu, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam, including Everest. Passing by several villages and numerous tea shops, we descend steeply to a bridge over the river at Phunki Tenga. The village is an excellent lunch spot, and here we can rest before making the steep climb to Tengboche. Although tiring, the hike up the zigzag path has numerous distractions, with rhododendron bushes, beautiful birds and superb mountain scenery. Tengboche (3850m./12705ft.) is famous for its legendary monastery, the largest in the Khumbu. We stay near the monastery with Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam framed in the doorway of our lodge. It takes 5 hours walking from Namche to Tengboche then stay overnight there at lodge on FB basis.

Day 13: It is a 5/6 hour trek from Tengboche to Dingboche. The trail leads past the tiny village of Devuche, crosses the Imja Khola  and, after passing beautifully carved mani stones and a few chortens, we reach Pangboche. Ama Dablam dominates the skyline as we make our way to the village of Dingboche where we stay for two nights at a lodge on FB basis.

Day 14: Dingboche is a good place to rest and acclimatize. There are magnificent mountain views and many options for acclimatization hikes. We need to ensure you will be successful on your trek to the Everest Base Camp and Kala Pathar. Today we hike to Nagarjun hill and see the stunning views of Makalu, Island Peak, Ama Dablam and Tawache.  Stay in same lodge on FB basis.

Day 15: We continue up the wide valley beneath the impressive peaks of Cholatse and Tawache on the left. We then turn right and climb more steeply towards the foot of the Khumbu Glacier and Lobuche east peak. At the top of this climb, there are many stone Pyramids, built as memorials to the many Sherpas who have died while climbing Mt Everest. The path then climbs gently along the glacier, to eventually reach the cluster of houses at Lobuche. It takes 4/5 hours walking from Dingboche to Lobuche (4900m./16170 ft.)  then stay overnight at lodge on FB basis.

Day 16: We continue our trek along the Khumbu Glacier in the early morning for a  wonderful walk to the Everest Base Camp (5364m./17701ft.). From Lobuche, it is a 2 hour trek to Gorak Shep (5130 m/16929 ft) where we leave our bags at the Lodge. After lunch, we hike for 2 hours up the Khumbu Glacier to the EBC. After spending time viewing the famous Khubu Icefall and wandering through the ‘village’ of climbing groups, we return to Gorak Shep and stay overnight at lodge on FB basis.
Day 17: We rise very early in the morning for the hike to Kala Pattar (5550m./18315ft.) Our objective is to reach the summit of Kala Pattar just as the sun rises. After 2 hours of hiking, you will stand on Kala Pattar, just beneath Pumori (7165 m/23644 ft). From here, you have an unobstructed view of the Everest south face, Nuptse and many other peaks.  The scenery is breathtaking and you will want to extend your stay as long  as possible to take picture after picture and enjoy the vast array of mountains that surround you. And, at some moment while you stand looking out over the scene below, you will realize the significance of your achievement and the great feeling of satisfaction of a job well done. Soon, however, we have to leave Kala Pattar and make our way back to Gorak Shep,  then trek 2 hours to Lobuche  and  stay overnight at lodge on FB basis.

Day 18: Today is downhill most of the way, as we retrace our steps to Thukla  and descend to Pheriche. We continue down, passing the Pangboche village and take the trail on the opposite side of the Imja Khola toward Phortse (3700 m/ 12210 ft). The trail to Phortse gradually rises above the Imja Khola and the views to the west are spectacular. As you gain elevation, you see in the distance the Tangboche monastery sitting high on hill. Keep an eye open for sightings of musk deer along the way. We arrive at Phortse and stay overnight at lodge on FB basis.

Day 19: Our trek takes us downhill from Phortse to the Dudh Kosi river. We cross the river and make our way through Phortse Thanga and from there, after many steep switchbacks uphill, to Mong. Again, the views from this elevation are outstanding as you look down the valleys to the west and admire the surrounding peaks. We descend and pass through Kenjoma on our way to Namche Bazzar and stay overnight at lodge on FB basis.


Day 20: From Namche Bazaar the trail descends steeply to the village of Jorsale. Passing the villages of Phakding and Choplung, we reach Chaunrikharka and the trail that leads up to the airport at Lukla. This is a long, but pleasant day of trekking and after  7 hours of walking you will be glad to reach the lodge in Lukla! This will be the final day of your trek and an opportunity to gather with your comrades, guides and porters to celebrate your achievement! Enjoy your last evening in the Khumbu region by relaxing at the lodge. Stay overnight on FB basis.

Day 21: In the morning, we rise early for breakfast, then walk to the airport. Before boarding the flight to Katmandu, you say goodbye to the porters and also goodbye to the mountains.
