When you arrive at Kathmandu airport our representative from Alpinist Climber Expeditions will be there to greet you and when you have gone through customs formalities our representative will pick you up and transfer you to your hotel. Once you are checked in our mountain guide and other participants will go through the final preparation for the trip. In the evening get ready to be introduced to Nepali cuisines.

As the leader goes through formal procedures through the Ministry of Tourism you will be engaged in exploring the fascinating sights of the city. Our guided tour will lead you to some UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Kathmandu valley. This final day is also for final necessary arrangements and a last-minute briefing on the expedition and grouping with the expedition team.

This Fresh early morning takes us on a scenic flight to Lukla. This mountain flight to Lukla is filled with beautiful and dramatic landscapes and is considered to be a beautiful air route that you can fly over. In Lukla our guides and porters and other crew members will go through packing arrangements then we will finally embark on our journey through a colourful and prosperous village of Lukla to Phakding which serves us well serviced clean lodges where we can call it a day.

We will be trekking from Phakding Village to Namche Bazaar. We will continue up the banks of the Dudh Koshi, crossing it twice by small suspension bridges before reaching the village of Monjo where we will enter in the check-point of Sagarmatha National Park. We will then cross the confluence of the Dudh Koshi and the Bhote Koshi on a high suspension bridge and hike steeply for about three hours up ‘Namche Hill’ to reach Namche Bazaar.

We acclimatize and rest allowing our body to rejuvenate at an altitude of 3,440m. Namche Bazaar is the perfect place for an extra night and acclimatization, as we need to adjust to the low oxygen levels. So, we will hike up to Everest view point and explore the area around Khumjung. We will come back here to spend the night.

We begin our journey to the famous monastery of the Everest Region, Tengboche Monastery. The initial part of the trek is uphill and becomes gentler before it descends to a gentle mountain stream. It goes steep uphill towards Tengboche after crossing the stream. Tengboche is a small and beautiful village that has great views of mountain peaks. The monastery is popularly known as Tengboche Monastery and is a rich example of Buddhist cultural traditions found in the region. We unfold many monasteries before spending overnight here.

Pheriche is a village located in the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal. Situated at an altitude of 4,371m. We take on a high traverse that passes through the village of Pangboche (3,985m), a pleasant village with great views. We will stop at Pangboche to rest and eat lunch and after lunch we will visit an old Buddhist monastery to take blessings to continue our hike. Therefore, it’s common to see Himalayan Tahr and Danphe, the Himalayan pheasant on the trail.

One more day in Pheriche for acclimatisation. During the acclimatisation day, we can hike to the top of the Nangkartshang peak altitude of 5,083 m. It takes approx 2-3 hrs walk to reach the top of Nangkartshang peak, from this peak we are able to see beautiful mountains view and back to Pheriche.

After breakfast at 7 am, we will pack our bags and move towards Lobuche. The trail is well established but it has its rocky sides with short uphill sections. On the way, we have lunch and stop for tea. We then pass an interesting monument in memory of those who have lost their lives on the mountain. It’s really something you should see! We will sleep at the lodge tonight.

It will take 3/4 hours to reach Gorak shep from Lobuche. The climb is challenging as one can strongly feel the effects of high altitude and one may experience altitude sickness. After crossing moraine Gorak Shep (5160m) is reached at the foot of Kala Pathar.

On this, we trek to Everest Base Camp! We will wake up early to start our trek to Base camp, which takes approximately 2 hours. We cross glacial moraine on mixed rocky terrain with a lot of up and downhills. While walking on the glacier you will be gaining elevation until base camp.

Years of experience have helped us to establish the finest Base Camp (5,364 m) on the mountain with the highest quality tent structures, including private sleeping tents. Our dinning tent is carpeted and heated with Wi-Fi and a movie screen is available.

We provide hot showers at your request. We strive to ensure that the time at Base Camp is restful and revitalizing. By providing these accommodations, we make every effort to keep climbers healthy and rested.

We partake in the Puja is a traditional ceremony commenced by a Lama where the Mountain Gods are asked permission for the climbers to climb, forgiveness for the damage caused by the climbing, and safety for all who are involved. All the team members, Sherpa climbers, cooks – anyone associated with the climb is invited to participate or observe.

When you reach the mountain, your schedule is always subject to change. Delays are common, along with early departures.

Before we reach the base camp our guides will be well ahead in the lower part of the mountain (the Khumbu Icefall) fixed with ropes and ladders. Altogether four camps will be established in the mountain. The first one is camp I (5,943 m), situated at the top of the icefall. The camps are based until camp II. Camp II is established at 6,400 m in the Western Cwm. It consists of large tents for cooking and dining and also for sleeping until the placements of camp III (7,300m) and camp IV (7,900m) sequentially.

Camp III established at the top of the cirque on the Lhotse Face will have three –and four-man tents. This mid-way camp assists us to reach Camp IV ( Last Camp ) on the South Col. Our Sherpas carry directly from camp II to Camp IV therefore large amounts of gear are not necessary at camp II to proceed to camp IV. Oxygen is applied above camp II to assist climbers to reach camp IV before attempting the summit. From Camp IV we’ll head on to the Southeast Ridge to the South Summit. From there on we’ll keep on traversing for a few hundred meters before reaching the main summit leaving behind The Hillary step (8,790m).

Summit attempts: When all of our supplies are in a good place and in order and after establishing the camps of III and IV, we retreat to Base camp (and lower villages) for a rest. From the Base camp, we will prepare for the attempts at the summit. When we are ready we will return to camp 2 and given good weather we’ll guide the summit team to camp III. Day second, the team will move onto camp IV, and on the third day will be the day of the summit. We will start very early in the morning and attempt to reach the summit of mount Everest before midday. After the summit of Everest, we will retreat back to the South Col and the next day we will descend to camp 2. Our guides and Sherpa climbers will accompany all the summit attempts and we all climbers team will use the supplementary oxygen.

Before we leave base camp, we all join hands to show our appreciation and clean up the base camp and descend to Lobuche.

We descend to Lobuche Village from the Everest base camp. Lobuche is the small settlement on the way that leads us to Pangboche.

The elevation of Lobuche Village is 4940m. This locality remains busy for almost throughout the year and thousands of Sherpas and porters cross through this region on their way to base camp.

After having breakfast, From Lobuche we head back to Pangbuche, it is located high in the Himalaya in the Imja Khola valley. Today, we trek down through the hillside, take downhill while returning on the Everest high trail that gathers whole new impressions. Before arriving at the Sherpa village of Pangboche (3,985m) we cross a small Pheriche pass, (4,270m) along the foaming banks of Imja Khola.

We move forward through a downhill trail to Namche. You walk the same route to reach Namche Bazaar so it will be more like a revision of the scenery around but heavenly views of peaks like Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, etc.

After few hours of hiking on the uphill and downhill trails, you’ll be back in Namche Bazaar. Otherwise, you can explore more sights in Namche if anything had passed you by earlier. And also, there are plenty of shops where you can pick up souvenirs for family or friends.

We head back to Lukla from Namche Bazaar as the trail descends through the luscious pine trees. Following Dudh Koshi River and crossing the suspension bridges a few times until reaching Phakding village from here onwards the walk is pleasant and gentle all the way to Lukla.

We catch an early flight to Kathmandu after our long mountain journey. we can rest or go souvenir shopping or explore other areas of Kathmandu, we may do that today. There will be a farewell celebration dinner in the evening to celebrate the successful completion of our journey.

This day is to fly back home or to join destinations that you may have and also to take away the beautiful memories of the expedition and as we all bid farewell, we hope to see you again and hope for a safe journey back.
