Today has been designated as an acclimatization day. Trekking requires adequate acclimatization to avoid altitude sickness. Today, you may also go to the well-known Everest View Hotel, which is located a short distance from the town. Views of peaks including Ama Dablam (6856m), Thamserku (6608m), and Lhotse (8414m) may be seen in addition to Mount Everest (8848m). Overnight at a guesthouse in Namche.

After leaving Namche, we will make our way to Tengboche village over breathtaking landscapes covered with rhododendrons and Himalayan junipers. Tengboche is located where the Imja Khola and Dudh Koshi rivers converge. It is also possible to visit the well-known Tengboche Monastery here. Many local and foreign trekkers visit the monastery, which is a stunning location, to offer prayers. Overnight at  Tengboche's guesthouse.

After Tengboche, the terrain moves into the steppes, and the elevation begins to rise over 4,000 meters. The path descends in the direction of Diboche. After leaving Diboche, you will ascend to Pangboche at 3930 meters and cross the Imja River across a suspension bridge. After that, the route ascends to Pheriche. Spend the night at a Pheriche guesthouse.

Today, you may stroll around the village and capture breathtaking pictures of the Himalayan peaks. Situated above the Tsola River, Pheriche is a well-liked destination for hikers and mountain climbers. You may also visit a memorial place in Pheriche honoring people who lost their lives while attempting to climb the peaks in the Khumbu region. Overnight at the Pheriche guesthouse.

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.

Hiking to Kalapatthar (5545m) is the first activity of the day. This is a great viewpoint that offers views of the Khumbu and the Mount Everest range. In order to see the sun rising over the Everest Mountains, including Mt. Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8414m), Ama Dablam (6856m), Nuptse (7861m), Pumori (7165m), Thamserku (6608m), and Lobuche Peak (6145m), hikers typically leave for Kalapatthar before dawn. Following our time spent admiring the vista at Kalapatthar, we will go back to Gorakshep, eat breakfast, and then descend to Dingboche, Khumbu's summer valley. Spend the night at Dingboche Guesthouse.

We will hike to the Lobuche Base Camp from Lobuche. This section of the route is quite flat, but after sometimes trekking across it, we will come upon harder hills and uneven, rocky terrain. We will go towards High Camp along the rough moraine road from the Lobuche base camp. Spend the night in High Camp Lobuche East.

We will eat breakfast early in the morning, around 12 or 1 am, and then start our climb. We must reach the summit before noon because, in the afternoon, blustery highland winds could pose as a barrier stopping us from reaching the top. Up to about 5,700 meters, we will be walking on rock surfaces. After that, we will ascend on thick ice. Compared to other trekking peaks, Lobuche East has the most stunning views of the Himalayas. Magnificent vistas of the Himalayas, including Ama Dablam (6856 meters), Pumori (7165 meters), Lhotse (8414 meters), Nuptse (7801 meters), and Everest (8848 meters) are available from the top. We take in the magnificent show before making our way back to the High camp. Spend the night in High Camp Lobuche East.

We trek downwards from High Camp and re-join the Everest Base Camp trail at Lobuche. We will follow our route back to Pheriche from Lobuche. The route leading to Pheriche offers stunning views of Mount Ama Dablam (6856m) in the distance. We drop steadily from Pheriche to Pangboche, which is the home of the renowned Pangboche Monastery. Spend the night at Pangboche.

You are going to make the same trip back to Namche today. Walking the entire distance to Namche along the precipitous riverbank, passing across a bridge, and taking in the scenery of the birch and rhododendron forests. A few Himalayan giants, such as Everest, Kwangde, Tawache, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Kantega, and Thamserkhu, will also continue to attract your attention. A pleasant overnight at Namche awaits you.

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.
