After starting for the exciting journey on the trail of the Everest Base Camp trek, from Dingboche, we will start our way to the base camp of Pokalde Peak. Being a steep trail, it will take us about 4-5 hours to reach our destination. However, we will keep this trek a short as it helps in order to acclimatize.

A huge circular lake by the base camp fills this region with calmness while the astounding views of the Makalu Peak, Ama Dhamlam, the Southern face of Nuptse and few other notable peaks elevate the beauty of the region. The first night in base camp will be a one to remember.

The Pokalde Peak High Camp is the last stop before making the final climb to the summit. It passes through the Kongma La Pass which gifts you with brilliant mountainous views. The sights of small frozen lakes against the magnificence of a wide basin make this place a picturesque location.

As you move up, the surrounding is filled with views of high peaks which include Cholatse, Nuptse, Lhotse, among the others. Once you reach High Camp, the scenic views of the Pokalde Peak will be forever will mesmerize you to the core. We will stay here for the night.

The first summit climb on the list, trekking to Pokalde can be challenging and hence needs to be started early. The trail is laid with stones and has a hard slope as well. It’s important for us to approach with caution in order to avoid unwanted injuries and the rocky trail ends at a narrow summit, the Pokalde Peak.

On reaching, you will be blinded by the surreal views of the giants like Mt. Makalu, Pumori, Ama Dhamlam and many other tall peaks of the Khumbu region. Fill your heart with the joy of reaching the apex and then start retracing the steps back to Kongma La Pass. From here, we will start our journey towards Chhukung.

In Chhukung, another surprise awaits as we can choose to hike up to Chhukung Ri and enjoy the captivating sights of Makalu, Lhotse, Island Peak, Baruntse and few other peaks. 

The next peak where we will mark our presence is, Island Peak and for that, we need to head towards the base camp of the same. We start in the southern direction which has a steep ascent and follows to the main valley line, along with the east. The Lhotse Glacier is a remarkable point in this journey and the trail further runs alongside the southern flank of the moraine. It is a leisure walk with the calmness of the stream beside you and finally takes you to the crisscross of Imja and Lhotse glacier moraine which you will pass to reach the huge valley on the south-western side of the huge Island Peak.

Fully equipped and properly acclimatized, we start early with the aim to reach the summit before noon. The strong winds, especially after midday, can create obstacles in reaching the summit. Following the guidance and instructions as given by our experienced Sherpa climbers, we will tackle several technical sections and head towards the summit.

Once at the top, we are rewarded with up-close views of Lhotse, Makalu, Lhotse Middle Peak, Lhotse Shar, Nuptse, Baruntse and other high peaks of the Khumbu region. We will spend short but quality time at the top of Island Peak and then descend following the same route back to Base Camp.

One of the most relaxing days in the itinerary, the 14th day consists mainly of a short and relaxing downhill trek to Dingboche, our next destination.  Before starting the trek, you will get time to clean yourself up well and finally start the descent to Dingboche via Chhukung village.

Our destination today is Lobuche which we would reach through Duglha. To reach Duglha, we need to first traverse through the Khumbu Khola Valley. As we reach Dughla, the route further is an engaging steep moraine of the Khumbu Glacier that requires your attention; you need to cross it to reach the Chhupki Lhara. The ridge seems to be beautifully decorated with colorful prayer flags and here, you can spot the memorials of Scott Fischer as well as the famous Babu Chiri Sherpa who is hailed for conquering Everest 10 times.

From there, you will start descending back to the moraine of Khumbu Glacier and reward yourself with commanding views of the multiple peaks like Pumori, Lingtren, Khumbutse, and Mahalangur Himal. Take some pride in being in the vicinity of the great Everest as the altitude will start making you feel different.

Though you won’t be able to have a glimpse of the ultimate mountain the night in Lobuche is soothing and peaceful. However, you may start feeling the chill due to the higher altitude.

Today, you will start your walk towards the famous Everest Base Camp. The walk starts through the old and huge Gorak Shep Lake. It is very important to stay with the pack and let the Sherpa lead the way as the trail often changes due to the movement of the glaciers. We will cross the Indian Army Mountaineers memorials on your way to the EBC. Once we get to the camp, it is quite a brilliant sight to witness the enthusiastic mountaineers on their conquest to reach the top through the Khumbu Icefall. It an enchanting view to see the vast peaks of Nuptse, Khumbutse, Pumori amidst the colorful tents of the mountaineers. From here we can choose to go to Kala Patthar to witness the amazement of the setting sun or go back to Gorak Shep for the night and take the hike for sunrise instead of sunset.

In continuing our journey, we would be going to Kala Patthar to see how the first rays of the sunshine in glory over the highest peak in the world. The day starts very early at night with the company of the cold temperatures as low as, 14 degrees. It would be quite dark while you start the long walk towards Kala Patthar. On the way to the spot, we will get ample places to stop and rest and also click some brilliant pictures from the viewpoints. Though we would get to see the supreme sights of high peaks like Lingtren and Khumbutse, the time when Everest starts to be seen. 

Finally, as we reach the top of Kala Patthar we will take a halt at the rocky outcrop where we can sit and see the world in a different way. The picturesque panorama of the Himalayan massifs complemented by the colorful prayer flags and the sight of the golden rays of the sun over Everest; a combination of all makes it a sight you can never brush out of your mind. Our walk back will be through Gorak Shep to finally reach Lobuche, our destination for the night.

The journey takes us to the high camp of Lobuche towards the eastern part. Initially, the journey is somewhat easy as it is on the flatter side. However, the trail eventually becomes steeper. For the most part of the walk, the Lobuche Glacier will run alongside us while compelling views of peaks like Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pokalde, Kantenga, etc. will keep our spirits high and energized. After getting to the Lobuche base camp, the final journey to the Lobuche High Camp is covered where we will set the camp for the night.

One of the most amazing days of the itinerary, we will start with your endeavor to summit the Lobuche peak. The journey will commence as early as 2 a.m. and as we fight through the trail to reach the summit of Lobuche, we can be prepared to praise the best sights of the entire journey. The whole sky is covered with the highest peaks and panoramic views of the greatest Himalayan peaks like Everest, Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, and many others are beyond anything you can anticipate. It feels like an eternity to sit and get lost in something as brilliant as this. Our night will be spent back in the High Camp.

A day dedicated or reserved for any unfavorable weather conditions, this day can be a spare day. This day is simply to compensate if anything had gone wrong in the previous days. If everything goes as per plan, we can exclude the day from the itinerary

From the high camp, it is time to start our journey back towards the end of the trip. The trail starts from the high camp of Louche and meets the Everest Base Camp trail at Lobuche. As you walk further, we get to our next stop Pheriche from where the sights of Ama Dablam peak will again cherish you. The trail is set all the way to Pangboche and along the way, we would also get to see the farewell sights of peaks like Pokalde, Thamserku, Kantega among others. It’s quite a brilliant walk as the beauty of the colorful Rhododendrons and Juniper trees will accompany you as you walk down the hillside. After we reach Pangboche, we can spend some time to visit the renowned monastery in the area.

As we start with our onward journey towards Tengboche, the beautiful prayer flags will pave your way on the bridge over the Dudh Koshi River which we will have to cross. It is quite an admirable view. It’s a steep descent through the greenery of Pine forests along the Dudh Koshi Gorge. This trail will take us to one of the major junctions of the region, Sansa, and even on this path, we would get exposed to the charismatic beauty of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and Thamserku peaks. After lunch, we will start for the final trek to Namche Bazaar. Most of the path has great bends and the wooded slope is quite an amazement.

It is advised to keep eyes and ears open in this path to catch a glimpse of amazing wildlife like snow leopards (pose no danger if proper precautions given by the guide are followed) and mountain goats. Finally, we will reach a chorten that we will cross to get to Namche Bazaar. This is the place where we will get to admire the brilliant peaks like Everest, Lhotse and even watch the last sight of Tengboche. Engage in capturing some beautiful pictures before departing inside the room for a great night of sleep.

It is one of the last days of the trip and so, all you would do is walk on steep descending terrain with rocky slopes. By now, you would have conquered multiple tough terrains, but walking with caution is very important as tired legs often lose a step on a downward slope. As you get to the suspension bridge over Dudh Koshi, the land becomes flatter and the chill eases out from the wind. It is a brilliant sight to watch the change in the surrounding ambiance of plain lands with rhododendron and pine forests blended with the snow-covered peaks looming in the background and is one of the savoring delights of this journey.

Moreover, the trail passes through the Sherpa villages where you will get to see the religious believers of the locals there. A line of prayer flags and prayer stones will be around for a long-long time. By the time we reach Lukla where we will spend the night, a massive feeling of accomplishment and happiness will win over your emotions. Spend the night in a peace of the region as the next day we are going to the capital.

The very last day in Nepal and you will spend the day in the beautiful and religiously rich capital of the country, Kathmandu. As we land in Kathmandu from Lukla via flight, you will have an ample amount of time to sit back and relax. You can even opt to wander around the market places, buy souvenirs and try some delicious dishes. Thamel is a good place to buy authentic Nepalese goods that you can carry back home. At night, we will arrange a very special and memorable celebration dinner for celebrating the successful completion of this stupendous journey. 

You will depart from the capital, but you will not forget the memories. We hope the mountains have served you well and you will be back to conquer more, with more passion and more enthusiasm.
Our representative will drop you off at the airport at the scheduled time.
