We will take flight to reach Lukla. During the flight we are able to observe mesmerizing view of Everest/
Khumbu region.

Bazar.After walking for almost over an hour, we come across the glistening Mt. Thamserku (6,608m) on
our right and also experience the serenity of pine, fir and juniper forests throughout our journey. If the
weather in our favor then we are able to see the fabulous scenic view of Mt. Everest, Lhotse etc.

Today is our rest day. Health experts recommend that we stay active and move around even during the
rest day instead of being idle. There is few option to do in this day i.e. Namche’s quaint villages or come in
contact with the Sherpa people and their rich culture, or we can hike up to the Everest View Hotel and
enjoy an up-close view of the mighty Everest.While in the Namche village or upon returning from the hike
to the Everest View Hotel, trekkers may also visit the local museum containing exhibits displaying the
area’s native flora and fauna as well as the history of the Mount Everest region.

After having breakfast, We will start to trek towards tang boche. During the journey, we explore Tengboche monastery which is the largest monastery of the Everest region.It is Located amidst the Sagarmatha National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site of “outstanding universal value”), it is draped with the panoramic 360-degree view of the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Thamserku. The monastery opens at 3:00 pm so if we are lucky we might just be able to witness a religious ceremony.

This day, we will visit the monastery in the morning and taking picture of the monastery and the amazing
landscape. We get opportunities to observe traditional Sherpa village of Pangboche before reaching
Pheriche, a beautiful village located on a river side.Here, we will also see a small helipad that is used for
helicopter rescues during emergencies.

We continue to climb as we are heading to the altitude of 4,910m at Lobuche which appear dwarfed at the
foot of the giant Lobuche peak. Some breathing problems may arise today due to the altitude. The trail
passes along the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier and by stone memorials for climbers who have
perished on nearby summits.

Today is our difficult day because we need to walk along the Khumbu Glacier and up to Everest Base
Camp at 5365 meters. There will likely be a team about to attempt the summit. The view of the Khumbu
Icefall from Base Camp is spectacular. We will stay at Gorak Shep.

There is always the potential for chilly winds which are quite common. So, We prepare for an early
morning departure, amid pre-dawn darkness and cold temperatures (-10 to -14 C)Familiar peaks such as
Lingtren, Khumbutse, and Changtse tower to the east even as Everest begins to reveal itself. But, it is
upon reaching Kala Patthar that we get to see360 degree up-close and formidable views of Mt. Everest.

Chukkung valley.
