G Adventures: Everest Adventure Trek

Itinerary

• Day 1: Kathmandu

  Arrive in Kathmandu at any time.

• Day 2-4: Pakding/ Namche Bazaar

  Heading through pine and cedar woods along the Dudh Kosi to Pakding, encounter your first yak caravans carrying trekking equipment and supplies - including yours - towards base camp. Spend a day acclimatizing in Namche. Intricately carved mani stones mark the path to this large valley.

• Day 5: Tengboche

  Leaving Namche, the route is unbelievably beautiful. Hike through Sherpa villages and forests of fir and rhododendron to reach Tengboche Monastary, home to Tengboche Rinpoche, a Lama incarnate.

• Day 6-7: Dingboche

  Walk through alpine meadows of scrub juniper and wild flowers. From Dingboche, the mountain views are outstanding. Hike up the Imja Khola. The fluted ice walls flanking the Amphu Lapcha pass are one of the highlights of the trek.

• Day 8-10: Lobuche/ Everest Base Camp

  Climbing above the tree line, cross alpine pastures and glacial moraine to reach Everest Base Camp where colourful expedition tents give a bizarre appearance to this desolate place surrounded by walls of rock, snow and ice.

• Day 11-13: Tengpoche/ Mongo/ Lukla

  Descend the Imja Khola past Pangboche, the highest permanent settlement. Its gompa, the oldest in Khumbu, is built over the hermitage of Khumbu's saint Lama Sanga Dorje.

• Day 14: Kathmandu

  You made it! Take a well-deserved rest and enjoy one last day with your fellow trekkers in this bustling city.

• Day 15: Depart Kathmandu
