We'll meet our trekking crew at the Lukla airstrip where we’ll spend a few minutes sorting out bags etc. Before setting off through this winding village to the trek start proper at the Khumbu ‘gateway’. It’s gently downhill on pitched stone trails through low rhododendron forest, small ‘garden’ farms & old and new hamlets to the banks of the foaming Dudh Koshi River. There will be plenty of short stops to meet the locals, take photographs and just soak up the scenery & the clear mountain air as we meander along, the undulating trail glimpsing views of 6000m snow-capped peaks high above. Passing the enormous Mani stone at Thado Koshi we meander up through the many chortens & prayer wheels of Sano & along to our destination Phakding. The afternoon is free. For those who wish to we’ll make a short trip up to the higher village and delightful tiny Gonpa perched on the valley side. Gather again for pre-dinner drinks round the dinning fire followed by evening meal.

After breakfast at lodge, we trek to Namche following with the left bank of Dudh Koshi River.While following the level path along the right bank from the resort, Thamserkhu 6623m looms skyward on the opposite bank. After crossing a stream and climbing the terraced hill from the Dudh Koshi route, we arrive at Banker. Walking on the riverbed on the left bank, through a forest we arrive at Chumow where we can visit the Vegetable Farm. Walking along a path with many ups and downs, crossing a stream you pass by a small village located at 2840m gaining with 230m from Phakding named Monjo. We stop for lunch here. Then from Monjo, descending stone steps you come to a suspension bridge, and, after a short climb you reach Jorsale. This is the entrance to the National Park. Walking beside the river, we reach a forested mountainside and pass a rocky area. After crossing a high, winding path, we descend to the riverbed and reach a V-shaped valley. The river forks here: the rightstream is the Dudh Koshi and the left is the BhoteKoshi that leads to Nangpa La. Crossing another suspension bridge and walking a short distance alongside the Bhote Koshi, we ascend to Top Dhara Where we will get the first view of Mount Everest. From here we ascend gradually up to Namche Bazaar (The Sherpa capital).

From here we short climb up and cross the Sagarmatha National Park, further trail is quite scenic on gentle flat and not so far walk, the trail to the Phortse climbs up and is then narrow beside a towering rock face. The normal path contours around a bluff and steadily gains height to a large white stupa on the skyline and appears closer than it is Yaks often graze here. The trek offers us stupendous views of Ama Dablam and the hidden Hongu valley peaks and Kangtega. From the stupa part of the route is somewhat frustrating. The village of Phortse can be clearly see just across the valley. From here we descend a long way to the Dudh Koshi River. The route is pleasant through tress down to the teahouse of Phortse Tenga. From here we continue down, passing a camp/lodge in the forest, to a wooden bridge across the river and from here finally we short steep climb and reach at Phortse village. The Phortse monastery is located above thevillage. The village said to be the landing place of Lama Sangwa Dorje, who took to flight in one legend. Trek via Phortse Sherpa village is good idea.

From here we climbing up the hillside, taking any zigzag path upwards upper part of Phortse near the monastery. The trail to Pangboche is truly spectacular. The trek offers us superb views not see on the main route from the Namche to the Pangboche. The trail goes up and downs, with Thamserkhu and Kangtega visible initially. As it rounds a bluff, Ama Dablam is seen in all its grandeur. Continuing around, the trail enters a small gully. The path zigzags up briefly but steeply; take it steadily and we will be rewarded with superb views at the chest. Further short walk bring us to Pangboche, where we can extend our trip to Ama DBC. From here we climb up through large tress near the teahouse. This climbs briefly, then drops and contours for 15mins.

It is necessary to take a day to rest and acclimatize before going higher. The best option is hike up the valley to Chhukung (4730m) and onwards Island Peak (Imja Tse) or hike up the Nangkartshang (5000m) for short walk. About the hiking destination you will discuss with your trek guide during the briefing after dinner. The day hike offers us great views of the Imja valley, Makalu, Amphu Laptse and the diverse landscapes surrounding the valley. After we return to the Dingboche and relax in the afternoon.

The trail to Lobuche leaves Dingboche to the north of the village and from the village it can be clearly see climbing to the ridge. From here we see good views ahead along this lateral marine and 3hr or trek will bring us to Dugla (4620m). From here our trip begins with stiff climb up the side of the marine that marks the end of the vast Khumbu Glacier. Climbing constantly, the trail heads among boulders and crests the rise near a series of small shortens. We will see various memorials here that have been killed in the Khumbu. We cross the usually half-frozen river and keeps to the foot of low hills all the way to Lobuche. Lobuche is not the most inspiring night stop, but the views of Nuptse are certainly memorable.

Initial walk begins with gentle climb after an hour so there is the first steep but shorter climb up on to more moraines. This is the snout detritus of the receding Changri Nup and Changri Shar glacier that flow from the northern flanks of Pumori as well as the peaks of Changri and Khumbu. Further trail is underfoot with large boulders and irregular stones. Crossing these moraine areas is tiring and the wind is often icy. Further short walk brings us to Gorak Shep. From here we continue to Everest Base Camp with taking tents, all kitchen items with logistic team. The trek begins with winds and ducks around boulders, rocky clumps and the huge moraine of the Khumbu Glacier to Everest Base camp. With tremendous ice spires and cathedrallike blocks of ice, the setting has drama of its own. The ice is quite the most Astonishing gateway to any mountain in the Himalaya, an almost intoxicating highway to the sky. The trek offers us outstanding close-up views of Khumbu Ice Fall, Lhotse, Nuptse and the mountains separating Nepal from Tibet, including Pumori, Marine rocks. Next morning retrace Steps to Gorak Shep (5140m/ 16863.52 ft.) and enjoy the views.

From here we cross the dried-up lake and start climbing steeply up and the lower ridge of Kala Pathar. Everest soon appears and gives a great boost to the spirits. Hike to Kala Pattar is mind-blowing and from the spot offer us 360-degree panorama views of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, the great snake of the Khumbu Glacier tumbles and wriggles down, with Ama Dablam dominating the horizon, Makalu, Nuptse, beyond the peaks above Namche: Kangtega and Thamserkhu. A beautiful contorted, tangled know of spires and peaks attracts the eye to the west. Looking to the east, it is black rocky, south West of Face of Everest that grabs all the attenuation. After all the adrenalin charged climbing and the excited photo-snapping from heavensent Kala Pattar, Gorakshep is a few easy minutes down, well under an hour. After breakfast we back down to Phereche. From Dugla we head down a chute to the side valley with Taboche peak on the right.

Once back on the main trail the route heads to lower Pangboche and from here the path contours above the river now far below the path. You will get opportunity to take various Mani Walls along here with a muchphotographed stupa/Chorten. After dropping to a bridge over the Imja Khola, the trail heads into wispy juniper forest. Further walking along a level patch of ground through the forest brings us to Debouche and gradually to Tengboche (3860m). Tengboche Monastery is Tibetan Buddhist Monastery of the Sherpa community. From here we walk down into much depleted forest. The trail is dusty and descends fairly rapidly into thicker forests then steeply down to the river at funky Phunki Tenga (3250m. After crossing the river on a wide suspension bridge, the pat climbs relentlessly up. En route are the lodges and lunch stop of lower Teshinga.
