This trek is ideal for those who want to experience the challenge of trekking among the world’s highest mountains without too much altitude gain. This trek takes us into the Khumbu Valley in the Everest region, the homeland of the Sherpas surrounded by the world’s highest peaks.

The trekking course follows through the Khumbu region from the Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar and it passes through forest of rhododendron, pine juniper and Gompas (monasteries), Chorten (stupas) and mani walls (prayer walls of stone) that are abundant in this area. The trek ends at Thyangboche where the glorious view of the Everest Range unveils before you.

An Important Note:
All our itineraries for the Everest region include one buffer day at the end of the trip. This is because often the Kathmandu-Lukla-Kathmandu flight gets delayed by a few hours or may even be cancelled for one, two, or more days due to unfavourable weather conditions even in the best seasons. We will try our best to arrange the next flight for you. We also organize Helicopter rescue in such conditions, if it is available and upon request by clients. In event of flight delay, the program for this day will be as adjusted accordingly from the time you arrive Kathmandu.In case the flight delay/cancellation happens at the start of trip and it goes so long that it disturbs your onward travel schedule, we will provide you an alternative trek in other region.

After breakfast check out of hotel transfer to airport for departure.
