Early morning, drive to Kathmandu Domestic Airport to board a flight to Lukla (2840m). This 30-minute flight provides a magnificent entry to the trek. It highlights the snowline of the Himalayan Range in the north and the rugged landing at the Lukla airport, which is said to be one of the most spectacular flights in the world.

Upon arrival at Tenzing-Hillary Airport, Lukla, meet the trekking support team, assistant guide & porters. Before commencing the trek, stop at a nearby lodge for hot tea/coffee and light snacks. Then start to trek to Phakding for about 3 hours by exploring the charming town of Lukla with hotels and shops lining both sides of the traditional cobbled street. At the end of town, there is a check post where we need to get the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit and Sagarmatha National Park Permit Fee. The trail is downhill and easy to walk and passes through beautiful human settlements of Chheplung, Thadokoshi, and Ghat, and ultimately descends to Phakding (2,610m).

With the rule of 6-7-8, we will have breakfast at 7 a.m. and walk at 8 a.m. towards Namche Bazar. This day, most of the trekkers find it a little bit difficult as we will gain 830m of elevation within 6 hours. For the first half, the trail is easy following the river bank. At Monjo, we will stop at the check post to check the permits enter Sagaramatha National Park and descend to Jorsalle where we will stop for Lunch.
Leave the main village and follow the trail on the left bank of the Dudhkoshi River.
Walking for 30 minutes more, we will reach Hillary Bridge from where we will walk uphill. Near halfway, we will get a chance to see Mt. Everest (8,848.86m), Lhotse (8,516m), Taboche, Kusum Kanguru (6,339m), Thamserku, and many other peaks. After climbing for 3 hours we will reach Namche Bazar.
This prosperous town is the largest in Khumbu. Mt. Thamserku (6,648m) and Kwangde Ri (6,624m) loom along the east and west of the village. The sacred mountain Khumbila (5,707m) dominates the skyline along the west.

On this day we will explore Namche in the morning time. Before leaving Namche Bazar, we will visit the Sherpa Cultural Museum, Mount Everest Documentation Center, Sagarmatha National Park Museum and Tenzing Norgay Memorial.

Then we will continue to walk towards Everest View Hotel. En route, we will stop at Shyangboche Airstrip (3,775m) to visit Sagarmatha Next. At the Visitors Centre, you will find information about Sagarmatha National Park and the Khumbu region including History, Geography, Culture, Climbing and trekking, Flora and fauna, as well as the environmental challenges that we are facing and possible solutions. Then continue walking to Hotel Everest View (3,880m) and return to Namche Bazar.

After breakfast, start an uphill walk to reach the North-east top of Namche Bazar and take a straightened path from where we will get a stunning view of the Himalayan Ranges including, Thamserku, Kangtenga, Mt. Amadablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Mt. Everest, Taboche, and many other snowcapped peaks. From Kyangjuma, we will descend to Phungi Tenga (3,200m) and stop for Lunch. After crossing the river, we will climb slowly the steep trail to Tengboche and visit the monastery.
The Tengboche Monastery is one of the most important monasteries in the Khumbu Region and the traditional place where all Everest Expeditions receive their blessings as they walk towards the base camp.
After visiting Thyangboche Monastery a short, steep and muddy descent to Deboche through the forest of birches, conifers and rhododendrons.

The trail to Pangboche is an easy day of traversing with views of the Tengboche monastery just across the valley. Pangboche is a traditional village, inhabited by Sherpa people, and home to one of the oldest monasteries in Nepal. The horizon from here to Lobuche is dominated by Ama Dablam, (6,812m). In the daytime, acclimatization walks to the Upper Pangboche and visits Pangboche monastery.

We begin with a steep descent to the ImjaKhola and after crossing the bridge we ascend steeply for about 3 hrs and walk through open Yak pastures. Before we reach the AmaDablam Base camp, we will come across a small lake. It is a large grassy meadow with a stream flowing from the middle of the meadow. AmaDablam is one of the most loved and admired mountains in Khumbu. The fact that one can walk right to its foothill and absorb the aura of the mountain is a real gift of Mother Nature.
The Base Camp is set up with a Kitchen Tent, Dining Tent, Individual Member Tent, Shower Tent, and Toilet Tent for climbers and the Nepalese Expedition Support Team.

You can spend this free day exploring the base camp area, hiking or enjoying the base camp services. The easy and free walk will make your body slowly acclimatize at the higher elevation before starting an ascent. We will conduct a Puja Ceremony with the help of a local Lama for the wellness and successful summit of all Climbers requesting the Mountain Spirits.

Before climbing, it is necessary to check the gear and get the information to use the gear on the right path at the right time. Initially, the Nepalese Climber Team will give a briefing about the route and the important gear. Then we will practice climbing, traversing on fixed lines, and abseiling over knots on set-up fixed lines. As Mt. Amadabam is considered a Technical Mountain, one must be well prepared physically and mentally and have a sound knowledge of Climbing Skills and Equipment. It is necessary to have a practice of walking by Climbing Boots with Crampons. You can simply consult with any member if you have any problems with your gear.

We will spend a week-long day for the acclimatization rotation to Camp I (5,800m) and Camp 2 and rest through Mingbo Glacier towards SW Ridge Route. At this section, we will walk through the boulder field, traverse, the vertical slab, and narrow route to reach the Camps. The Cliff of Yellow Tower is about 80-90 degrees vertical.

After proper acclimatization with altitudes and familiarization with the route, we will begin the Summit Push in this phase as we will continue our climb by spending overnight at Camp I, Camp II, and Camp III and reach the summit of Mt. Amadablam and retrace back to Base Camp. The section between Camp II to Camp III is the most challenging path as we need to walk transversely and climb up to Grey Tower. Then again we need to climb and cross the Mushroom Ridge to reach Camp III. Onwards, we will target the final summit push. After a successful summit celebration, we will begin to descend to Base Camp via the same ridge.

After the final packing of luggage and checking of tents and base camp areas, we will begin to descend Pangbiche and further towards Namche Bazar.

Along the way cross the Mengbo and the Dudh Koshi rivers to the quiet trail on the other side. The panoramic vista with old stone houses and the absence of the usual trekkers along the way is bliss until we reach Tengboche. From here, descend to Phungi Tenga for about 1 hour, ascend to Kyanjuma for about 2 hours and walk the gently straight path to Namche Bazar.

Upon arrival at Namche Bazar, check into the lodge and enjoy the massage.

Take a rest in the morning.

After breakfast, descend from Namche Bazaar towards the Hillary brifdge and further walk towards Jorsalle. The trail further follows the bank of Dudhkoshi river and passes the beautiful village of Monjo, Chhumoa and other small human settlements and reaches Phakding.

After breakfast on the way, we pass through small settlements constructing new lodges. It is interesting to watch others starting enthusiastically on the trek ahead as we head down to our campsite at Lukla. it is a surprisingly hard uphill climb to Lukla, which should take about 3 hours. It is a delightful ending to the trip as one enters the busy village of Lukla. Later check-in at the lodge and refreshments.

In the evening, there will be a small farewell program for the trekking team.

Early morning, fly from Lukla to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, meet, assist and transfer to the hotel.

You will have time to relax after the long journey, breathe easily and just rest at your hotel before completing your Himalayan Adventure with us.
