12-Days Everest Base Camp

The 12-day Everest Base Camp Trek with EBC destination begins with a breathtaking 40-minute flight to Lukla, followed by a short trek to Phakding (2,610m/ 8,562ft). On your journey, you will be surrounded by massive mountains, and as you continue, you will reach Namche Bazaar (3,440m/11,268ft), our target for the day. Namche Bazar will serve as your acclimatization stop for the day. 

The following day, you will leave Namche Bazaar and climb to Tengboche, a hamlet known for the Tengboche Monastery (3,867m / 12,687ft). After spending the night in Tengboche, you will rise up early the next morning to continue your walk to Dingboche (4,410m / 14,470ft).

When you arrive in Dingboche, you will have gained significant height. So we've scheduled the next day for acclimatization in Dingboche.  After a day of relaxation and recharge in Dingboche, you will trek to Lobuche the following day.

An amazing road greets you as you rise up Thukla Pass to the memorial park dedicated to those unable to leave this region. Your goal is Lobuche (4,940m / 16,210ft), where you will spend the night.

The eighth day of your trek to Everest Base Camp will be memorable because you will arrive at EBC The height of Everest Base Camp is 5,364 meters (17,598 feet). But we leave Lobuche in the morning, travel along the Khumbu Glacier, and arrive in Gorak Shep. We'll leave our belongings here and climb to Mount Everest Base Camp.

Reaching this breathtaking location is a life-changing event. Finally, your effort and resolve to persevere will have paid off, and you will be among the select few who have reached the EBC. Among the views from the location is the Khumbu Glacier,  the world's deepest glacier at 4,900m (16,100ft). After admiring the vista from Mount Everest Base Camp, you will return to Gorak Shep.

The next morning, you will hike to Kala Patthar (5,555m / 18,208ft) to get exquisite glimpses of the early light rays hitting Mount Everest. You will return to Gorak Shep for breakfast before continuing to Pheriche. Because you will have traveled you will spend the night in Pheriche. From Pheriche, retrace your steps to Lukla.

If everything goes as planned (depending on the weather), you will complete the Everest Base Camp Trek in 12 days and fly down to Kathmandu via Lukla Airport the next morning.
