Namaste! Welcome to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. As soon as you complete the VISA on Arrival procedures, our team will be waiting for you.

3
Lukla
Day 3-4
After breakfast, we will head towards the airport and after landing in Lukla, we will meet the rest of our team, the porters who are incredible people with superhuman strength who will help us carry our bags during the trek. We will quickly pass through the streets of Lukla for tea, where we will review our trail planning once again, and begin our trek. After passing the door of Sherpa Padang Lhamu, the first Nepali woman to conquer the summit of Everest, we will walk 9km to Phakding, the village located at 2610 m above sea level, where we will rest for the night.

Namche Bazar
Day 4-5
After breakfast, we will leave towards Namche Bazar, the largest village in the region located at 3440 m above sea level. During the walk through the Rhododendron forest, we will begin to notice the vegetation changing as we increase in elevation. On that day we will have our first glimpse of the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest, which will look at us from the corner of an imposing chain of snow-capped mountains. We will arrive in Namche without a doubt excited, and we will be able to relax and feel the vibe of the village after a long walk. It will be 15 km and 830 m of elevation.
5
Namche Bazar
Day 5-6
On a trek where there is a high risk of Acute Mountain Sickness, or Altitude Sickness, it is essential that we prepare our bodies for these extreme conditions. On that day we will undertake an acclimatization walk to a height of 3880 m so that our body can feel this altitude gradient. We will rest for a few hours at this point, drinking tea or hot chocolate, enjoying one of the most incredible views of the trail. We will return to Namche Bazar, where we will sleep the night again in the same lodge. We will have the afternoon free to explore the village.
6
Tyangboche
Day 6-7
After breakfast, we will leave towards the village of Tengboche, located at 3680 m. We will walk about 17 km, ending our walk at one of the most famous monasteries in the region, and if we are lucky, we will be able to attend a celebration and be blessed to take a safe walk to the imposing Himalayas. During the route we will have a break for lunch and tea.
7
Dingboche
Day 7-8
After breakfast we will walk to the village of Dingboche, located at 4410 m. It will be a walk of approximately 12 km. We will pass side by side one of the most imposing mountains on the trail, Ama Dablan. With its unique design, it is translated into the local language as “Mother and String of Pearls” due to the glacier that surrounds the summit.
8
Dingboche
Day 8-9
Once again, as we had a more significant climb on the last day (~ 796m) and will pass the 5000 mark in the next few days, it is necessary to adapt our body to this type of altitude. That day we will climb a trail around the village reaching a height of almost 5000 m. We will spend some time at this altitude and then return to the village and have the afternoon free.
9
Lobuche
Day 9-10
After breakfast, we will set out on a walk towards the village of Lobuche, which is located at an altitude of approximately 4910 m. We will walk about 12 km. On the way we will pass the memorial to the climbers who lost their lives in the mountains. After arriving at the village we have the rest of the afternoon free.
10
Gorakshep
Day 10-11
After breakfast, we will leave towards the last and highest village in the region, Gorak Shep, located at an altitude of 5140 m. It is a 5 km walk that will take around 3 hours due to the altitude and terrain. We will leave our bags at the accommodation, have lunch, and in the early afternoon we will leave for Everest Base Camp, which will be around 3.5 km away and will take around 2 hours to reach. With tears in our eyes and our spirits lifted by the achievement, we will be able to celebrate at the foot of the largest mountain in the world, the first to see the sun rise and the last to see the sun set. We'll spend some time there admiring the Kumbu Falls and the climb up the mountain, and then return to our accommodation in Gorak Sehp, where we'll spend the night.
11
Pheriche
Day 11-12
For those with a strong spirit and high energy, you'll be invited to climb one of the few mountains in the region, Kala Patthar, to witness the sunrise. We'll start our ascent at 4:00 am, reaching 5550m altitude to catch the first rays of sun touching the peak of Everest right before us. After the climb, we'll return to our accommodation around 10:00 am for breakfast and begin our descent. During this time, we'll witness the return of vegetation left behind, and experience the ease of descending after spending days at high altitude. We'll trek approximately 12km to the village of Pheriche at an altitude of 4260m.
12
Namche Bazar
Day 12-13
After breakfast, we'll continue our descent to the village of Namche Bazaar. It's a 19km walk, taking about 8 hours with proper breaks. Upon reaching Namche, you'll have the afternoon free to enjoy the village and reminisce about the feelings when we first passed through here.
13
Lukla
Day 13-14
After breakfast, we'll trek about 18 km to Lukla village, reliving places that undoubtedly left a mark on us through effort, beauty, or reflection during the initial trekking days.

We'll have a farewell dinner with our team celebrating another successful trail. Overnight stay in Lukla.

15
Kathmandu
Day 15-16
This day serves as a backup in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Due to the region's climatic instability, flight cancellations back to Kathmandu are possible. This extra day allows us to plan alternative routes without affecting your departure flight. If all goes as planned, we'll spend another day in Kathmandu, exploring together. Options abound!
16
Kathmandu
Day 16
Our last day of the expedition, our driver will be ready to take you to the airport. I have no doubt you'll leave this experience a person with different qualities and strengths from when you arrived. I hope, like us, the mountains have touched your heart, and Nepal and its people will be remembered in moments when you need courage or in a breeze carrying good energy.
