Day 1: Arrive Kathmandu/ Transfer to Hotel Malla
You are greeted on your arrival at Kathmandu international airport and transferred to Hotel Malla. We wish you time to relax and revive from your flights. Afternoon briefing and meeting with the others before taking peddle rickshaws to the famous Rum Doodle.
Day 2: Sightseeing and familiarization in Kathmandu
Kathmandu is the historical and cultural heart of Nepal and has been a popular destination for tourists ever since Nepal opened its doors to visitors. The city presents a wonderful mix of Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism and Western influence in the Valley. Patan and Bhaktapur, its two major neighboring cities bear immense historical, cultural and religious significance. There will be a half day guided tour to the famous and biggest Hindu shrine of Pashupatinath, the largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal Boudhanath, the 15th century palace of 55 windows and Swoyam bhunath. We can prepare our soft mountain bags and are welcome to leave hard cases and excess materials at the Hotel until we return from our expedition.
Day 3: Fly to Lukla (2900m) / Trek to Phakding(2656m)
The flight to Lukla in Solu Khumbu (the main gateway to Mt Everest–29,035ft) takes about 45minutes.
In Lukla, you will meet your trek support team, your porters and the yaks. Once all the large kit packs and equipment are allocated to porters and yaks, you take the downhill trail into the floor of the Dhud Khosi Valley close to the river, and slowly meander up and down well constructed paths through the villages to Phakding where you will stay overnight in a Sherpa lodge.
Day 4: Trek to Namche (3450m)
After an early call and “bed tea”, instant coffee or hot chocolate, a bowl of warm washing water will be brought to your room. Once dressed, we recommend you pack before breakfast so that the porters can get under way as soon as they are ready. After breakfast we start trekking very slowly. From Phakding, you cross and re–cross the river on high suspension bridges to Monjo. Beyond Monjo is the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park. You then take a steep long trek to Namche Bazaar (11,320ft).Namche Bazaar is the main trading village in Khumbu and has a busy Saturday market – a meeting place for the Hindu traders from the lowlands and the Tibetan yak caravans that have crossed the glaciated Nangpa La. Overnight in a sherpa lodge in Namche Bazaar.
Day 5: Rest day in Namche (3450m) – Meet & Brief
Namche is tucked away between two ridges amidst the giant peaks of the Khumbu and has an abundance of lodges, tea shops and souvenir shops as well as a magnificent outlook that seems to meet western standards, even at this remote mountain outpost. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day, acclimatizing to the new altitude. Options for acclimatization walks include a visit to Khunde hospital which was set–up by Sir Edmund Hillary, or a one hour walk up to the Everest view hotel above Namche for the sunset view of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest. You will meet the ’advance party’ of management staff and crew, who may well have left Katmandu to trek before you.
