Get ready for an awe-inspiring start to our Everest View Trek! A scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas from your window seat. After landing in Lukla, we'll meet the trekking team and begin our hike. The first day involves a gentle ascent through charming mountain villages and across the Dudh Koshi river via a suspension bridge. We'll pass by mani walls, inscribed with Buddhist mantras, and eventually reach Phakding, a lively settlement where we'll spend the night in one of the top trekking lodges. All meals and accommodations will be provided throughout the trek.
After breakfast, we leave Phakding and continue alongside the Dudh Koshi, surrounded by enchanting pine forests and waterfalls. Thamserku, a majestic snow capped peak reaching 6,608 meters, comes into view, reminding us of the immense mountains we are trekking in. We pass through a ticketing checkpoint, traverse smaller villages, and reach Monjo, where we can grab a meal or have some tea at local lodges. Our trail then enters Sagarmatha National Park, named after Mount Everest, which dominates the landscape. Look out for diverse bird species and Himalayan tahr and musk deer. Walking amidst pine, juniper, and birch trees, keep an eye out for rhododendron flowers, especially in spring. The journey includes impressive suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi rivers, leading us to Namche Bazaar. This bustling trade hub of the Khumbu region offers excellent trekking lodges for our overnight stay.
Today is a crucial day for acclimatization as we adjust to the higher altitude. Located at approximately 3,440 meters, Namche Bazaar provides the perfect setting for this purpose. Instead of simply resting in Namche Bazaar, we'll make the most of our day by embarking on a short hike to Khunde/Khumjung and Hotel Everest View. During this excursion, we'll have the opportunity to explore the charming town of Khunde and Khumjung, immersing ourselves in the local culture and admiring the traditional Sherpa way of life. The hike will also take us to the renowned Hotel Everest View, which offers breathtaking panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountain ranges, including the majestic Everest. After the invigorating hike, we'll return to Namche Bazaar, where we can further explore the town at our leisure. We can wander through its bustling markets, visit local shops and bakeries, interact with the friendly locals, and perhaps even learn more about the Sherpa culture through museum visits or interactions with the community.
After breakfast in Namche Bazaar, we will pack up and commence the final phase of our journey. The descent to the Dudh Koshi River en route to Lukla is known to be quite challenging. The steep decline requires caution to protect our knees, so we'll take our time. Crossing a suspension bridge at the river, we'll pass through peaceful villages like Jorsalle, Monjo, and Phakding. After approximately six hours on the trail, we'll reach Lukla, signifying the successful completion of the Everest View Trek. Arrangements have been made for an additional night in Lukla by Alpine Ramble Treks. This presents an opportunity to explore the unique charm of this small community. We'll check into a local lodge, savor authentic Americano coffee at a nearby café, enjoy a celebratory dinner, and bid a heartfelt farewell to the porters and the trekking team who have been instrumental in making this trek possible. For those in the mood to extend the celebration, there are lively bars and pubs available, keeping in mind the early morning flight back to Kathmandu tomorrow.
On our final day of the Everest View Trek, enjoy a final glimpse of Mount Everest from the plane before returning to Kathmandu. Upon arrival. Adventure Series Nepal will organize a farewell dinner at their Kathmandu headquarters to commemorate your triumphant trek in the Everest region.
Depending on your travel arrangements, you will either proceed to the airport for departure or be transferred to your hotel in the city.
