About Trip:

Climbing Mt. Everest is widely regarded as a pinnacle achievement in mountaineering. Each year, the mountain attracts approximately 1,000 summit attempts. Everest can be approached from both the southern route in Nepal and the northern route in Tibet. Following the Cultural Revolution in the 1950s, China closed Tibet’s borders to outsiders, while Nepal opened its doors to foreign climbers, making the southern approach through the Khumbu Valley increasingly popular.

The first successful ascent of Everest was achieved in 1953 by Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Sir Edmund Hillary via the South Col. Climbing Everest is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but expeditions face numerous challenges, including extreme altitude, severe weather, and physical exhaustion. For this reason, we prioritize safety and carefully plan each expedition to ensure the best possible experience for climbers.

An early morning scenic flight to Lukla. The mountain flight over to Lukla is one of the most beautiful air routes in the world culminating in a dramatic landing on a hillside surrounded by high mountains peaks. In Lukla, we will meet our camp staff and porters. After meeting our other crew members and with some packing and arrangements, we start our trek through the prosperous village of Lukla until we reach Phakding. Phakding lies on the main trade route through the area and there are a number of clean well-built lodges where we can spend the night.

Day 05: Trek to Namche Bazzar – 3,440m/11,290ft.
We continue trekking along the banks of the Dudh Kosi, crossing the river twice via small suspension bridges before arriving at Monjo, the gateway to Khumbu National Park. From here, we cross the confluence of the Dudh Kosi and Bhote Kosi on a high suspension bridge, then climb steeply for about two hours to reach Namche Bazaar. This bustling town serves as the trading hub and capital of the Khumbu region, featuring authentic Tibetan artifacts and local culture. Overnight stay is in Namche Bazaar.
-Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Day 06: At leisure in Namche Bazar

We spend the day in Namche Bazaar to rest and allow our bodies to acclimatize to the altitude of 3,450m (11,300 ft). Even on a leisure day, it is important to stay active, as health experts recommend light movement to aid acclimatization. Options for the day include taking a short hike to Thame, visiting Khunde, or exploring Namche Bazaar itself.

Namche Bazaar serves as the main hub of the Everest (Khumbu) region, featuring government offices, ATMs, internet cafes, shops, restaurants, a bakery, and a vibrant market held every Friday evening and Saturday. A small trek of a few hundred vertical feet during the day further supports acclimatization. Our guides may also take us to the Tourist Visitor Center near the Sagarmatha National Park headquarters, where we can learn about Sherpa culture, the first Everest ascenders, and the local flora and fauna. Overnight stay is in Namche Bazaar.

-Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Day 07: Trek to Tyangboche or Dibuche- 3,860m/12,665ft.
The Everest trail winds along the side of the valley, high above the Dudh Kosi River. As we follow the path, we are treated to breathtaking views of the Khumbu’s towering peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. Along the way, we pass several villages and numerous tea houses. The trek continues with a steep climb to Thyangboche, which is home to a remarkable and recently rebuilt monastery.Overnight in Tyangboche.
-Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Day 08: Trek to Dingboche- 4,410m/14,470 ft.
We trek past several Chortens, Mani walls, and small villages along the way. During lunch, we are treated to stunning close-up views of Ama Dablam. The trail, shaded by rhododendron trees, gradually descends to the river and crosses another airy suspension bridge. About an hour’s walk from here brings us to Pangboche, a scenic spot offering excellent views of Ama Dablam. The trail then contours along the valley side, crosses the river again, and ascends the Imja Valley to reach the charming farming village of Dingboche. Overnight stay is in Dingboche.
-Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
 
Day 09: Acclimatization
This stage of the expedition is crucial for acclimatization. Dingboche provides an ideal location to adjust to the higher altitude. The team leader will arrange daily short hikes to nearby hills to help gradually increase exposure to the thinner air. Trekkers are encouraged to follow a routine that works best for them, ensuring optimal acclimatization before reaching the base camp.
-Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Day 10: Trek to Lobuje- 4,940m/16,210 ft.
We retrace our steps back to Pheriche before continuing along the trail toward the base camp. The next stop is Dugla, located just below the snout of the Khumbu Glacier, where we take a break for lunch. After lunch, the trail ascends steeply alongside the glacier moraine. Following a couple of hours of climbing, the path leads to a small cluster of tea houses at Lobuche, offering a comfortable resting spot.
-Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Day 11: Trek to Lobuje Basecamp (4,940m/16,210 ft.)
This day we move to lobuje base camp from lobuje for the ascent of the mountain.
Day 12: Rest Day at Lobuje base camp

An extra day is reserved to accommodate any unforeseen delays, such as flight cancellations or unfavorable weather, ensuring that the expedition stays on schedule and maximizes the chances of a successful climb.

Pre-Climb Training: During this day, our guides provide practical training in essential climbing techniques and the correct use of equipment, including ice axes, climbing boots, crampons, harnesses, and ascenders. Instruction also covers safe rope techniques for ascending and descending. This hands-on training is designed to build confidence, enhance climbing skills, and help participants fully enjoy the summit experience.

Day 13: Ascent to Lobuje high Camp (5,400m/17,712ft)

From Lobuche, we trek toward Lobuche Base Camp. The initial part of the trail is relatively flat, but it becomes steeper and more rocky as we approach the base camp. The route follows the Lobuche Glacier, offering spectacular views of surrounding peaks such as Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pokalde, Thamserku, Kantega, and other Himalayan giants.

From the base camp, the trail continues along a rocky moraine to reach the High Camp. Upon arrival, we set up camp, have lunch, and rest. The climb typically begins on rock surfaces up to around 5,770 meters, after which we transition to ice climbing, using ropes as necessary. The need for fixed or man ropes depends on seasonal conditions and the presence of crevasses. The climbing leaders make decisions on rope use to ensure safety. Overnight stay is at Lobuche East High Camp.

Day 14: Lobuje Summit (6,119m/20,070 ft) and back to base camp

We begin the day with an early wake-up around 12–1 a.m. for breakfast before starting the climb. It is important to reach the summit before noon, as strong afternoon winds at high altitude can hinder progress. The ascent generally starts on rocky terrain up to approximately 5,700 meters, after which we switch to ice climbing. Both fixed ropes and man ropes are used according to the climbing leader’s instructions, with rope length and usage depending on seasonal conditions and the presence of crevasses.

Lobuche East offers some of the most panoramic views among trekking peaks. From the summit, climbers are rewarded with breathtaking vistas of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pumori, and other towering peaks. After celebrating and taking photos at the summit, we descend back to High Camp and continue down to Base Camp for an overnight stay.

(Note: The reason behind the lobuje ascent is to decrease the up and downs by the khumbu icefall as its abit risky there by doing the acclimatization in lobuje. If we don’t do the lobuje ascent then we from Everest base camp do the camp 1(18,300ft.) overnight then to reach camp 2(20,000ft) the other day, finally back the Everest base back which will be for the acclimatization. But incase lobuje is done then we do camp 1 overnight for a day, camp2 overnight 3/4 day... in which camp 3(21,300ft) touch is done then camp 2 overnight then camp 3 overnight. Finally, back base camp (This makes 1st course cleared) for the final summit target.)
Day 15: Trek to Gorakshep (5,170 m/16,961ft)
This day we move from base camp to Gorakshep and overnight there.
Overnight in Gorakshep.
Day 16: Trek to Everest Base Camp
We follow a trail that contours along the valley side, overlooking the Khumbu Glacier, until we reach Gorak Shep, which now consists of a few small tea houses and was the site of the 1953 Everest Base Camp. From Gorak Shep, the path continues onto the Khumbu Glacier moraine, where the trail becomes less distinct, winding through rocky rubble until we arrive at the base camp near the foot of the Khumbu Icefall. This will serve as our home for the next six weeks.Day 17-19: Rest and preparation
