Everest Base Camp Trek

Overview

Trekking in Nepal with Trek Climb Ski is an incredible adventure that begins the second you touch down at Kathmandu International Airport. Our staff will meet & greet you the moment you clear airport customs and convey you to your luxury accommodation.  You'll then enjoy a welcome dinner & drinks with our guides and leaders including an all important trip briefing. The following morning we've arranged a sightseeing tour around Kathmandu and the afternoon will be at your leisure with plenty of time for shopping.

You'll be up early the following morning and from here we fly to the mountain airstrip at Lukla and enjoy incredible Himalayan views throughout the flight. We’ll meet our porters at Lukla and then commence our Everest Base Camp trek, staying the first night at Phakding, right by the Dudh Kosi river. The next day we arrive at the bustling Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar. At Namche we take in our first views of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and numerous other Himalayan giants. During our free day in Namche we’ll visit the local monastery and seek a blessing from the Lama before a visit to the Everest View Hotel later that morning.

From Namche Bazaar, we’ll ascend slowly to Thyangboche and then onto Deboche.  We’ll have plenty of time to visit the cultural centre and monastery at Thyangboche, along with their famous bakery!  The next day we’ll travel further up valley to Dingboche where we’ll spend two nights to assist us with the acclimatisation process. At Dingboche we’ll enjoy awesome views of Lhotse, Island Peak and Makalu. From Dingboche we trek to Lobuche and then alongside the Khumbu glacier all the way to Gorak Shep and historic Everest Base Camp.  From Gorak Shep we have plenty of time to ascend Kala Pattar (5545m) and enjoy classic views of Everest, Nuptse and the Khumbu Icefall.

Returning along the classic route, we’ll visit Pangboche for unsurpassed views of Ama Dablam and then onto Khumjung and Khunde. The next morning we’ll trek to Monzu and the following day back to Lukla.  In Lukla we’ll enjoy a farewell party with all our guides and porters before flying back to Kathmandu the next day.

Trekking in Nepal, particularly in the Everest region, involves trekking at moderate to high altitudes and our itinerary includes plenty of rest days allowing for safe altitude acclimatisation.  This is a moderate to challenging high altitude trek that will put you as deep into the heart of the world’s highest mountains as it’s possible to go without crampons and technical climbing skills. You’ll be treated to the highest standard of trekking amenities in the world with an exceptionally experienced team of guides and porters.
