Witness crystal-clear mornings, dense rhododendron forests and delightful villages. Add the sights and culinary delights of Kathmandu, the friendly local people and the awesome sense of achievement and you have an adventure to always remember.
Day 1 Kathmandu
Discover the sights and scents of colourful Kathmandu. Kathmandu is a fascinating mixture of legend and modern development with a rich artistic and cultural heritage. Narrow lanes lead to small squares and courtyards where ornate carved balconies overlook shrines and temples. Visit KEEP to learn about environmentally and culturally low-impact trekking in the mountains.
Day 2 Phakding
Take a short and scenic flight to Lukla and embark on an easy hike through the lush landscape of the Himalayan lowlands.
Days 3-17 Everest Trek
From a gentle rise through rhododendron and magnolia forests to an arduous climb to Base Camp, this Everest trek will test the mettle and delight the senses. Traverse the glorious Gokyo region, rising along narrowly crafted staircases and steep passes, to take in the five stunning lakes. Stop along the way in remote but vibrant market towns and retire each evening in simple, but comfortable teahouses. At Everest, see where ascents of the great mountain begin at Base Camp. Descend through plains filled with yak herders and their charges and stop in at the tea shops of Kenjoma to recover with a hot brew.
Day 18 Lukla
Wind down with a walk through scrub forests to the ambient village of Lukla.
Days 19-21 Kathmandu
There are plenty of sights and optional activites on offer in Kathmandu. Head to Durbur Square to catch a glimpse of the Kumari Devi, cycle through Kathmandu Valley or visit the aptly named 'monkey temple'. Celebrate the journey with a meal and a trekking story or two in a Kathmandu cafe.
