Enjoy unforgettable views of the world's tallest mountain on this 5-day Everest trek. You'll be mesmerised by the spectacular Himalayan surroundings!
5 Day Everest Trek
Day 1: Kathmandu - Lukla - Phakding
On the first day of our five-day Himalayan adventure, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Kathmandu and take you to the airport. There, we will board a plane that will take us to the city of Lukla, the starting point of the Everest trekking routes.
When we arrive at our destination, we'll meet our fellow adventurers and, without wasting any time, we will set off on our trek. After crossing a suspension bridge, we'll follow the path of the Thado Koshi River through mountain villages such as Chhupulung and Ghat on our way to Phakding, where we'll spend the first night.
Day 2: Phakding - Namche Bazaar
After a hearty breakfast, we'll pick up our backpacks again and continue trekking along the Dudh Koshi River to Namche Bazaar. Along the way, we'll have the opportunity to enjoy the incredible scenery of the Himalayas and we'll get to admire the mighty Mount Everest.
Day 3: Namche Bazaar
The third day of the trek will be spent exploring Namche Bazaar, the commercial hub of the Khumbu region.
Here, we'll take the opportunity to soak up the local culture and visit the town's most important monuments, including the Sagarmatha National Park and the Sherpa Museum.
Alternatively, if you prefer, we can take a two-hour hike to a lodge overlooking Everest at no less than 3900 metres above sea level - we assure you the views are worth it!
Day 4: Namche Bazaar - Lukla
Sadly, it'll then be time to head back. On the fourth day, we'll retrace our steps as we walk back to the town of Lukla. Trekking through the mythical forests of rhododendron, pine, fir and oak trees will be the perfect opportunity to bid farewell to the Himalayas.
Upon arrival in Lukla, you'll have the rest of the day free to explore the town at your leisure.
Day 5: Lukla - Kathmandu
On the last day of the tour, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Lukla and transfer you to the airport for your flight back to Kathmandu. Once there, we'll drive you to your hotel.
