Everest Base Camp Trek 10 Days

You will take off over the snow-capped mountains on a clear, bright morning to reach Lukla, one of the most thrilling high-altitude airports, which is located at a height of 2900 meters. You will be accompanied on the trek by your guide and porter. And thus the trekking begins. You will descend over 500 meters to the Dudh Koshi River at the start of the trek. After that, the journey heads towards Phakding following the riverside walk. Arriving at Phakding, where you will spend the first night of your trek, you will pass several mani-walls and boulders etched with Buddhist prayers.

The trail follows the northern trial all the way to Monjo via the Dudh Kosi Valley. The trek officially enters Sagarmatha National Park at Monjo, where a Sagarmatha National Park Permit Card is required. You will reach the center of Sherpa—Namche Bazaar—by following the trek along the hard ascent while relishing the first view of Everest.

After breakfast in Namche, you will stroll along the valley's edge above the Dudh Koshi River. You will drop sharply to a bridge across the river at Phunki Tenga, where you may view a water-driven prayer wheel, after passing by multiple villages and a large number of tea shops. It's also a great place to stop for lunch and relax before starting the arduous ascent to Tengboche. The stunning rhododendron plants, birds, and magnificent mountains along the trail let you forget about the strenuous zigzag path. The first glimpse of the breathtaking peaks of Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse Shar, Tawache, Kangtega, Thamserku, and Nuptse will be shown to you. When you get to Tengboche, you may explore the biggest monastery in Khumbu, the Tengboche Monastery.

Begins the trek by exploring verdant woodlands with birch, apple, and rhododendron plants. You may enjoy breathtaking views of Ama Dablam, Lhotse, and Mount Everest from the trek. One may descend gradually to Deboche and then cross the Imja River to reach Pangboche. You will visit the Pangboche Monastery, one of Khumbu's oldest monasteries, as you ascend toward the higher Pangboche. On your journey to Pheriche, you will walk on to the Imja Valley and Lobuche River. The village is charming and well-kept, with fields of barley, potatoes, and buckwheat and grazing animals.

The trip will ascend the village further today, providing views of the surrounding mountains, including Mt. Makalu. To get to Dugla, you'll need to ascend steeply towards the base of the Khumbu Glacier. At the nearby lodges, you will have lunch and then relax for a bit. After that, you'll ascend by a track that zigzags across the glacier's terminal moraine's rocks. Numerous stone cairns honoring the numerous Sherpas who lost their lives while scaling Mount Everest may be found at the summit of this ascent. Subsequently, the route ascends gradually beside the glacier, ultimately arriving at the settlement of Lobuche. It is located below the Lhotse Ridge.

The day begins with a mix of excitement and fear, making it the most intriguing and difficult of the entire journey. You will be trekking up to 5364 meters, the base camp of Mount Everest, today. You'll pass past the Khumbu Glacier's horizontal moraine. The north ridges of several mountains, including Mount Everest, Pumori, Mahalangur, Nuptse, and others, may be seen on the route to Gorekshep. As you ascend farther into the Changri Glacier, you'll catch your first look at Kalapatthar. After making a lunch halt in Gorekshep, you will resume your hike to the Everest Base Camp, the ultimate goal.

The journey is made more exciting by the breathtaking views of the mountains and surroundings, which even outweigh the strenuous trek on the steep climb. From Gorekshep, the trek will take around three hours to complete. You can truly see the most dangerous way to the summit once you get at base camp, adding to the thrill of the climb. After spending some time seeing the base camp and the surrounding area, you'll head back to Gorak Shep for the evening.

The hike to Kalapatthar on this day is extremely thrilling and daring after reaching Everest Basecamp. Our guide will give you a call in the early morning to prepare you for your initial climb to Kalapatthar. The purpose of the trip is to witness the mountains, particularly Mount Everest, covered in shimmering yellow-white snow when each morning's rays hit them. Every moment turns into an unforgettable and thrilling experience, so remember to take pictures. After that, you'll head back to Gorekshep in a rejuvenated state and make your way back to Pangboche, where you'll spend the night.

It will be a steep descent that follows the river, over a bridge, and enjoys a road lined with forests of birch and rhododendron. A few Himalayan giants, such as Everest, Kwangde, Tawache, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Kantega, and Thamserku, will also continue to attract your attention. After taking a little break, you'll start to head back in Monjo's direction. The settlement of Thamo, which has a stunning Khare Gompa, is easily accessible and has a gentle slope. While strolling, you will come across a number of monasteries that are representative of the High Land culture. After making a brief break in Namche, you will continue on to Monjo, where you will spend the night.

The journey is coming to an end today. To get to Lukla, you will stroll alongside the Dudh Koshi River. The Porters, Sherpas, and Guides will be joining you for the celebration. They will celebrate while learning some traditional Sherpa dancing moves, and they will serve some local beer called "CHANG."

You'll hop back on a plane and depart for Kathmandu. After being driven to your accommodation upon arrival in Kathmandu, the remainder of the day is yours to relax. At the hotel, you may rest, shop, or go for relaxing massages.
