14-Days Private Everest Base Camp Trek

You will be welcomed by our staff and transferred to your hotel. Our Airport representative will explain the program upon arrival. Overnight at the Hotel.

After our exciting and scenic 40 minutes flight, we will land at the Tenzing Hillary Airport at Lukla. Our journey to EBC, which begins from Lukla, will be very exciting, as it will be our 1st day of the trek. We will leave Lukla and trek through Chaurikharka village and descend to Dudhkoshi Ghat (2,530m / 8,300ft) until we reach Phakding. The trek today will be short and enjoyable as we will also be acclimatizing. We can spend our spare time visiting local monasteries (like Rimishung Monastery) and preparing ourselves for a long trek the next day.

We will wake up in the morning and continue trekking along the northern bank of the Dudh Koshi River while enjoying the majestic views and crossing many suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River, including the Hillary Suspension Bridge. As we move forward, we arrive at the Sagarmatha National Park check post, where we will have our permits registered and then climb up through the dense forests. From this forest, we will catch the first sight of Mt. Everest. Trekking further, we will arrive at Namche Bazaar- the gateway to Everest.

It is time to acclimatize at Namche Bazaar itself. We recommend you to explore Namche Bazaar, as this town hosts numerous wifi-linked cafes and restaurants, souvenirs, and gear shops. We have several hiking options - such as visiting Hillary School, Sherpa settlement, Syangboche Airport, and yak farms. If you are passionate about Everest, you should not miss hiking up to Everest View Hotel, from where you can catch the breathtaking views of Mt. Everest.

This day we will leave Namche and head to Tengboche. The trail is full of ups and downs and passes through forests, making the trek challenging, but the views you get to enjoy are truly-rewarding. If you are lucky, you might also spot musk deer, pheasants, and Himalayan Thars. Near the end of the trek, you will find yourself descending to Phunki Thenga Village, but after leaving Phunki Thenga, you will be ascending continuously until you reach Tengboche. Tengboche looks like handcrafted natural beauty, which opens up the stunning views of Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. This day also provides you the chance to see the biggest Buddhist monastery in the Khumbu Region - the Tengboche Monastery. We will be spending the night at Deboche.

After breakfast, we will be heading to Dingboche. On the way, we will be passing many Chortens, mani walls, and several small villages - including Pangboche, from where you can enjoy the stunning views of Mt.Ama Dablam. Throughout the trek, you will be gaining altitude, and as you move nearer to Dingboche, you can see fields surrounded by stone walls to protect crops. In this hostile environment, the locals manage to grow barley, buckwheat, and potatoes this way.

It is time for acclimatization, once more. By reaching Dingboche, we will have gained considerable altitude, and our body needs time to adjust to the thin air and high altitude. However, to remain busy, we will be walking up the ridge above Dingboche to get spectacular views of mountains - Ama Dablam, Island Peak, Cho Oyu, & Makalu.

As we start our walk, the Himalayas are all around us. At first, the journey is difficult. As we approach Dusa, however, the valley narrows.After that, we follow the first completed Everest Expedition past the encampment. We'll still be able to glimpse Mt Pumori as we continue walking till the path lowers and twists. Pumori Mountain offers breathtaking vistas. This segment of the trail crosses a river. On the top of the peak, there are numerous multicolored flags and stones. The Remembrance Refuge is what it's called. There are hundreds of cairn memorials that can be seen there. They are memorials to the mountains that have passed away. We're going to go again now. We'll be spending some time there. The path leads to Khumbu's glacier moraine. Finally, we'll make it to Lobuche. At the bottom of the summit, Sherpa Lobuche has a tiny village. Stunning mountain vistas will highlight the top of Lobuche.

This is an extraordinary day as we will be summiting Base Camp. At first, we will be trekking through the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier and arrive at the beautiful Gorak Shep Village - a village surrounded by snow-capped mountains. We leave our belongings at Gorak Shep and hike up to the Base Camp. This is the closest you can ever get to the highest mountain in the world. You will savor the incredible views from EBC, take pictures of the surrounding, reflect on the memories and your achievements, and then head back to Gorak Shep. Along the way, you will also see the deepest glacier in the world - the Khumbu Glacier.

After a good night's sleep at Pheriche, we wake up early in the morning, have breakfast, and then trek down towards Tengboche. Our way passes through the rhododendron forests across the Imja Khola bridge, through the juniper forest, and finally to Tengboche, where we will be spending our night.

Today's trek will be a short one as we head to Phakding, following the banks of the Dudh Koshi River and crossing many suspension bridges that lie on the way. After passing through several forests and small villages, we will finally reach Phakding.The route is mostly gentle uphill up to Kusum Stream, but before reaching Lukla, the trail heads steeply up to the west and takes us to Toktok. From here, the views will be entirely different, and we will spend some time savoring those views. We will continue until we reach Lukla. This will be our last day of trekking, and we will be resting at Lukla at night.
