Everest Base Camp Luxury Lodge Trek

A representative from our group will be waiting for you at the arrival terminal of Kathmandu Airport. Look out for a person holding a nameplate with your details! The Peregrine Treks representative will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your hotel in Kathmandu. Upon check-in, the representative will provide you with a summary of our planned itinerary.

The sightseeing tour will take you to several UNESCO-listed World Heritage sites in Kathmandu, including Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa. This tour offers a rich, explorative, and informative experience, providing unique insights into Nepal's art, culture, and history. Kathmandu Durbar Square showcases Nepal’s rich history and the artistic sophistication of the Malla kings through its exquisite architecture.

Swayambhunath Stupa and Boudhanath Stupa highlight the deep-rooted influence of Buddhism in Nepal, while Pashupatinath Temple stands as a major pilgrimage site for Hindus worldwide. As a country where Hinduism is the dominant religion, the temple holds immense respect and pride in Nepal.

We will end the tour with a visit to the magnificent Boudhanath Stupa, a colossal structure seated on a three-tiered mandala. After exploring these remarkable heritage sites, we will drive you back to your hotel.

We will pick you up early in the morning and take you to the domestic terminal of Kathmandu Airport. From there, we'll board a flight to Lukla Airport, located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, one of the country’s most beloved and popular trekking destinations. This region is home to the world’s highest mountain, Everest, and the flight offers stunning views of the Himalayan range.

Upon arriving in Lukla, you will meet the rest of our team, who will guide you towards Everest Base Camp. After preparing our backpacks, we’ll begin trekking, following the trail down to the Dudh Koshi River. We will cross a long suspension bridge over the river and ascend along a scenic route towards Phakding.

As we reach Phakding, you’ll meet the rest of the crew in Lukla, and we’ll continue following the trail that gradually climbs along the Dudh Koshi River towards Phakding, offering a pleasant and well-marked path.

The adventure becomes even more captivating as we leave Phakding and follow the trail through Sagarmatha National Park. This UNESCO World Heritage site is rich in flora, fauna, wildlife, alpine forests, meadows, towering mountains, glaciers, and icefalls. We’ll trek through forested areas teeming with diverse species of plants and animals, passing charming Sherpa villages like Monjo and Jorsale on our way to Namche.

Namche Bazaar, one of the most vibrant towns in the Khumbu region, serves as the main gateway to Mt. Everest Base Camp. It’s the only place in the area where you can find everything you need, from shops and cafés to hotels, lodges, and teahouses. During peak trekking season, the town’s narrow streets are bustling with trekkers, locals, traders, and pack animals, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere.

The trail from Phakding to Namche rises and falls several times, which can be tiring, but the fresh mountain air, stunning scenery, and the drive to reach the foot of the world’s highest mountain will keep you motivated.

Today, you find yourself in Namche, at an altitude of around 3,440 meters, making it an ideal day to pause and acclimatize. After enjoying breakfast at the guesthouse, we'll take a hike up to the Everest View Hotel, where you can enjoy breathtaking close-up views of the majestic mountains in the Everest region.

Along the way, you’ll be treated to stunning views of peaks such as Mt. Everest, Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Cho-Oyu, Mt. Thamserku, Mt. Tawache, and many more. After spending some time exploring the area, we’ll return to Namche for the night. On the way back, we’ll also visit a photo gallery, a museum, and a few Sherpa villages, further enriching the experience.

After leaving Namche, we follow a trail that gradually ascends to Tengboche, located at 3,860 meters. The climb to Tengboche is relatively moderate, and the route offers breathtaking views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Ama Dablam, Mt. Lobuche, and other nearby peaks.

We begin by descending to the Dudh Koshi Valley at Pungi Thanka before gradually ascending toward Tengboche. Upon reaching Tengboche, we’ll visit the renowned Tengboche Monastery, an ancient Buddhist site known for its spiritual significance and its stunning location. The magnificent Mt. Ama Dablam stands proudly above the monastery, and the views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, and other towering peaks in the region are absolutely awe-inspiring.

Continuing from Tengboche, we follow the trail down to the Imja River. From there, the path takes us through scenic landscapes and offers stunning mountain views as we make our way to Pangboche village, located at an elevation of 3,900 meters. The village is beautifully set against a backdrop of towering peaks.

As we enjoy breathtaking views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Ama Dablam, and Mt. Lhotse, we gradually ascend towards the pastures of Dingboche. Along the way, we pass through yak herders' fields and summer settlements until we reach the expansive pastureland of Dingboche. Known as a "summer valley," Dingboche is covered in snow during the winter, but in summer, it comes to life with green grasslands and yaks grazing peacefully.

As we continue trekking to higher elevations, it's crucial to acclimatize to ensure our health and safety. Therefore, today we will stay in Dingboche for acclimatization. After breakfast, we will take a hike to Nagarjuna, a stunning viewpoint situated at 5,100 meters, just above Dingboche on the edge of the Chhukung Valley.

The trail to Nagarjuna is steep, making the ascent a bit challenging, but the mesmerizing mountain views make it all worthwhile. From Nagarjuna, we will enjoy incredible views of Lobuche Peak, Thamserku, Taboche, Kangtega, Mt. Ama Dablam, and many other majestic mountains. You'll also have the rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of Mt. Makalu, the fifth-highest peak in the world. After taking in the breathtaking scenery and spending some refreshing moments at the top, we will descend back to Dingboche for the night.

As time passes, we draw closer to Everest Base Camp. Today, we depart from Dingboche and head to Lobuche, located at an elevation of 4,910 meters. The trail from Dingboche leads us through a wide valley, eventually bringing us to Dughla. Along the way, we will pass the Trekkers Aid Post in Pheriche, situated at 4,240 meters, where a few dedicated Western doctors volunteer to treat trekkers. Continuing through the valley, we pass by yak pastures and gradually make our way to Lobuche, surrounded by towering peaks and the anticipation of reaching Everest Base Camp.

Finally, the wait is over, and we’ve reached one of the most anticipated moments of our trek. After breakfast in Gorakshep, we begin our journey toward Everest Base Camp, the world's highest mountain base camp. Reaching this iconic spot is a proud moment for every trekker. As we explore the area, we're surrounded by the majestic peaks standing tall before us.

Although Mt. Everest remains hidden between Mt. Lhotse and Mt. Nuptse, the views of the surrounding mountains are truly awe-inspiring. After spending time at the base camp, capturing the incredible scenery in photos, we head back to Gorakshep for an overnight stay.

Today is another highly anticipated day of our trekking journey. Early in the morning, we will wake up and hike to Kalapatthar, a famous vantage point near Everest Base Camp that offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. It’s particularly popular for witnessing breathtaking sunrises and sunsets over Mt. Everest, making it one of the most renowned viewpoints in the Everest region.

From Kalapatthar, we will witness the golden rays of the rising sun illuminating the snow-covered peak of Mt. Everest and other towering mountains in the range. After spending some unforgettable moments at Kalapatthar, we will begin our descent to Pheriche.

As we wrap up our peak climbing journey, we make our way back to the village of Namche. Enjoying the stunning mountain views in the backdrop, we gradually descend through charming communities such as Orsho, Somare, Pangboche, and Tengboche before reaching Namche. The descent offers a final chance to take in the beauty of the Everest region, reflecting on the incredible adventure we've experienced.

After taking in the impressive mountain views from Namche, we begin our journey back to Lukla. We descend along the familiar, well-paved path, passing through Jorsale, Monjo, and Phakding.

The lush forests and distinctive mountainous terrain along the way keep us captivated throughout the trek, making the descent just as enjoyable as the ascent.

In the early morning, we will take a flight back to Kathmandu. Once you arrive at your hotel, you have two options: either explore the streets and malls for some last-minute shopping or visit any additional sites you wish to see that weren't part of the trek.

Today, you'll fly home from Kathmandu or continue your travels to other destinations worldwide. We will drop you off at the airport three hours before your flight. We hope you had an unforgettable experience with us. Thank you, and have a safe journey home!
