Subsequent to arriving in Kathmandu, a delegate from Company will pick you up and take you to your hotel. At night, there will be a supper hosted by Company.

We will take the jeep to reach Salleri from Kathmandu. Take a look at the various towns and villages on the way. Even if it is a long road trip the view and the surrounding keeps you motivated. This is a different experience than the trip by flying. You will get the first-hand experience of the places. We will meet the rest of the crew members (porters & Sherpa) in Salleri.

Early in the morning after breakfast, we will start our trekking. Since this is the first day of walking it would be refreshing and amazing. We will gain an altitude of about 650 m on this day. The trail is through village and terraced farmlands. 

The view of Numbur Himal will dazzle us on this day. We will walk through the pine forests and hilly gorges. There are numerous streams on the trail and one can gaze at the waterfalls too. Therefore, it is an exciting day of walking as trekkers will have comfortable walking throughout the trail.

The view of Nunthala Valley and Lukla seems so spectacular on this day. We will walk downhill through green lush forests. The swishing sound of Dudhkoshi and the chill mountain air start to breeze us. 

From Bupsa head ascends the trail to Bhumsing village (2,300m/7544ft) and the trail continues to the north side of the valley to reach Puiyan village (2,796m/9170ft). After Puiyan trail leads flate till Chheubasus, the long winding trail with few small ups and downs to reach Surkhe.

After breakfast, we start to climb north reach to Chaurikharka (2,713m/8898ft) a large Sherpas village with the monastery and high school. Chaurikharka is also the breadbasket for the Khumbu area because the land is very fruitful for potatoes barley, wheat, some local fruits, and enough green vegetables. This day our trail joins from Lukla towards Phakding, making the path quite busy with more trekkers, porters and pack animals a few hours of good lovely walk brings to you at Phakding for the overnight.

Strolling through a wonderful pine backwoods, we pursue the trail north up the valley of Benkar. At that point, we cross Dudh Koshi River and continue passing Chumoa to Monjo, the passageway to Everest National Park. At that point crossing a suspension bridge, we pass Jorsale town and stroll nearby of the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi streams. A lofty climb carries us to the prime place - Namche Bazaar. 

There are a lot of activities around Namche Bazaar, and we can go through multi-day here acclimatizing. Namche Bazzar is the fundamental focus of the Khumbu locale and has government workplaces, ATMs, Internet bistros, shops, eateries, and a brilliant market. Our aides can take us to investigate the genuine appeal of Namche Bazaar. Climbing to Sagarmatha National Park rewards trekkers with the perspectives of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kongde, etc. 

This section of the trek incorporates the plunge to the Dudh-Koshi River to Tengboche. While dropping to Dudh Koshi River, we appreciate the perspectives on peaks like Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kongde, etc. After achieving Tengboche, we visit Tengboche Monastery the biggest cloister in the area and absorb the perspectives of Everest, Ama Dablam, and different pinnacles. 

We plunge and trek through woodlands loaded up with an assortment of lavish trees – birch, conifers, and rhododendrons. This adventure again compensates us with gigantic perspectives on Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The beautiful trail plunges down to Devuche, crosses the Imja River and takes us to Pangboche. The upper Pangboche trails remunerate us with an increasingly perfect perspective on the Himalayas and the Pangboche Monastery. The trek pushes forward towards the Imja Valley, Lobuche River and at last starts scaling to Dingboche. 

Dingboche is a well-known stop for trekkers and climbers making a beeline for Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam or Imja Tse. The town is delightful with a variety of fields encased by stone dividers to secure grain, buckwheat, and potatoes from the virus wind and munching creatures. We go through multi-day at Dingboche for acclimatization. We take day climbs to either Nagarjun Hill or Chukkhung Valley for incredible perspectives on Makalu, Lhotse, Cholotse, Tawache, and Ama Dablam. 

We begin the day with a continuous move to Duglha toward the finish of the terminal moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. From here, we move up a lofty trail to Chupki Lhara, where we discover a variety of stones with petition banners utilized as commemorations to Scott Fischer (American mountain climber) and 10-time Everest submitter Babu Chiri Sherpa (Nepali mountain climber) who died set for trip Everest. Next, we proceed to the Khumbu Glacier moraine and end up confronting a few incredible pinnacles - Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori and Mahalangur Himal. The trail at that point dials down as we pursue the valley to Lobuche. 

We take the trail to Everest Base Camp through the once immense Gorak Shep Lake. The way from here can be misdirecting; subsequently, it is significant that we pursue our lead Sherpa steadily. The walk is strenuous because of slight air in the high height before achieving the Everest Base Camp. We return to Gorak Shep for a decent night's rest. 

We plan for an early morning trek, in the midst of pre-sunrise haziness and cold temperatures (- 10 to - 14 C). In addition, there is consistently the potential for cold breezes which are very normal. Natural pinnacles, for example, Lingtren, Khumbutse, and Changtse tower toward the east even as Everest uncover itself. Be that as it may, it is after coming to Kala Patthar that we get to see360 degree perspectives on Mt. Everest. We take pictures, appreciate the sublime mountain display, and after that arrive back to Pheriche for a decent night's rest. 

We trek down through the slope covered by rhododendron and juniper trees. Our trail pursues the Dudh Koshi sliding quickly through pine woods. In the timberland, we may go over beautiful fowls and mountain goats. The way, in the long run, reaches Sansa from where we can appreciate perspectives on Ama Dablam, Thamserku and Nuptse mountains. We additionally pass winding trails then through timberland before coming to Namche Bazaar. 

The trail drops steeply descending so we have to walk carefully as our unstable legs constantly fight the rough territory. In the wake of traverse the quick streaming Dudh Koshi and its tributaries, the trail turns out to be progressively level and common. After our landing in Lukla, we extend those sore legs and review the encounters of the most recent few weeks. 

We fly to Kathmandu toward the evening. In the wake of landing in Kathmandu, we will be accompanied to our inn. We appreciate the day relaxed or make up for lost time with some very late shopping or investigate any tourist spots we missed during our first day in Kathmandu. To commend the fruitful culmination of our voyage, we will have a goodbye supper at night.

Our adventure in Nepal reaches an end today! A Company delegate will drop you off at the air terminal roughly 3 hours before our booked flight. On our approach to home, you will have a lot of time to design your next experience in the magnificent nation of Nepal.
