You will take an early morning flight to Lukla which is where all Everest treks begin. We meet the rest of our crews members in Lukla and start trekking . We walk on a trail that gradually descends to Cheplung village from where we get a glimpse of Mt. Khumbila, a sacred mountain that has never been climbed. From here, we gradually descend until Phakding crossing beautiful mane walls and Chortens along the way through Sherpa villages. Overnight in Phakding.

After the breakfast We follow the Dudh Koshi, ascending through Himalayan pine forests .The track leads us  through many suspension bridges, one of which is the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge. First, we catch the wonderful prospect of the glistening Mt. Thamserku (6618 m). Through the settlement of Benkar, Chumoa, Monjo, we come to the check post and entrance to Sagarmatha National Park. We pass through the last village of Jorsale before reaching Namche Bazaar and climbing to Namche begins .Today is a exicting day because if you are lucky with the weather you get to see Everest from Top Danda

Besides being a splendid destination to shop for traditional crafts, Namche remains the central trading post in the Khumbu that attracts Himalayan and lowland merchants where you can also pick your last minute gears if anything is missing .

This day is especially sectioned for acclimatization. We will hike upto Everest View Hotel for great panoramic views of the Everest, Lhotse, Amadablam, Thamserku etc and for acclimatization.We will have lunch at khumjung village and   On the way back, we visit Sherpa Culture Museum and Everest Photo Gallery.I n the evening you can  visit local markets and spend time with your team.  Overnight at Lodge

Today we leave Namche and the tail leads straight forward till Kanjuma village where you will pass couple of chorten and beautiful  stupas. From here the segment of the trek includes the famous descent to the Dudh-Koshi River and the equally famous ascent along the rhododendron forests to Tengboche. While descending to Dudh Kish River, we enjoy the views of mountain tops like Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kongde and so on. Upon reaching Tengboche, we visit Tengboche monastery-the largest monastery in the region and soak in the views of Everest, Ama Dablam and other peaks. Overnight in Tengboche or Debuche (3820m/1253ft )

After the breakfast you will  descent and trek through forests filled with a variety of lush trees  birch, conifers and rhododendrons. This journey again rewards us with tremendous views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The picturesque trail dips down to Debuuche , crosses the Imja River and takes us to Pangboche (lower Pangboche)The trek moves ahead towards the Imja Valley, Lobuche River and ultimately begins climbing up to Dingboche. At Dingboche, you will  see a beautiful array of fields enclosed by stone walls to protect barley, buckwheat and potatoes from the cold winds and grazing yaks and baby yaks . Overnight at Dingboche.

This is another day reserved for acclimatization. Today, you will have a hike up the Nagerjun Hill that is situated near Dingboche. The hike uphill is rather strenuous, but the effort is worth the journey because of the panoramic views of the sprawling Imja valley seen from the top. Likewise, you can also enjoy majestic views of the Everest peaks from there, like the Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Everest among many others. After spending some time at the vantage point, you will hike back down. Overnight stay at the lodge.

We start the day with a gradual climb to Thukla  at the end of the terminal moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. From here, we climb up a steep trail upto memorial  where we find an array of stones with prayer flags used as memorials to Scott Fischer (American mountaineer) and 10-time Everest submitter Babu Chiri Sherpa (Nepali mountain guide) who perished on a mission to climb Everest.  Next, we continue to the Khumbu Glacier moraine and find ourselves facing several great peaks – Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori and Mahalangur Himal. The trail then eases off as we follow the valley to Lobuche. We are gaining altitude and it is important that we move at a slow, steady pace. In the evening hill above the town affords fine sunset views of Nuptse. Overnight in Lobuche.

Today is one of the most anticipated days of this trekking journey. The trail to Gorak Shep goes ahead through the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. From Lobuche, you will make your way towards Gorekshep one of the last settlements before the Everest Base Camp. Gorekshep is a very sparsely populated little settlement that was used as the base camp site before the site was moved to its now-original location. From Gorekshep, you will finally hike alongside the Khumbu glacier moraine towards the base camp. Upon reaching the base camp, you can see the glacier as well as the Khumbu Ice Fall. This is the point from where the Everest expedition begins. After spending some time at the base camp of Everest, you will return back to Gorekshep. OR

Since the sunset view from Kala Patthar is more admirable than the sunrise view it is recommended that you  visit Kala Patthar today during sunset. As the setting sun’s rays strike the snow-capped mountains, the resulting scenery is incredible. For those trekkers who wish to continue to Kala Patthar, Our guides coordinate our hike to Kala Patthar for an amazing sunset view during the evening rather than morning however it depends on the weather condition .Overnight in Gorak Shep

The hike from Gorekshep to Kalapatthar starts early in the morning. Kalapatthar is one of the best vantage points in the region. It presents panoramic views of the entire Mount Everest massif including other mountains.You can catch the view of the sunrise amidst the Everest peaks from here. The phenomenon is quite ethereal. After taking in the breathtaking views of Everest and other peaks, you will have a hike back down to Pheriche village, following the same trail that you used for your ascend. However, if you have done the kalapathher hike for the sunset view you will do Everest Base Camp instead . Overnight at Tea house.

As we begin the trek after breakfast.The charming Everest splendid surrounds us including beautiful mt Ama Dablam.Thamserku and Thamserku liese just above us along with khumbi la and Kongde Ri .We will cross the ijma River before heading towards our destination. Today our work will be easy to the typical Sherpa village (Phortse ). Here you can enjoy climbing at climbing school in the evening.

The trail follows down to Kanjuma and further to Namche and overnight at Namche

The trail back to Lukla from Namche follows the same path as before. It is ornamented with prayer flags, Chortens, Mani walls and Gompas. The gushing of the Dudh Koshi River will once again ring through the air as you cross it over suspension bridges.Although we are travelling the same route down, we have completely different views.After passing couple of suspension bridges and villages we ill reach to Cheplung.
