The representative will be easily identifiable by a clearly displayed welcome sign bearing the name “Natura Himalaya Tours.”

You will then be transferred by private vehicle to your hotel in Thamel, Kathmandu’s main tourist district. The airport transfer covers a distance of approximately 7 kilometers and usually takes around 40 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

In the afternoon or early evening, you will meet our local partner and tour coordinator, Mr Narendra Bohara, at the hotel for a personal orientation session. During this meeting, the trekking plan will be discussed, your local trekking guide will be introduced, necessary travel procedures will be completed, and any remaining arrangements finalised. The remainder of the day is left free, allowing you to rest after your journey and slowly adjust to the rhythm of Nepal’s capital city.

Upon arrival in Lukla, whether flying from Kathmandu or via Ramechhap, there is time to rest, organize trekking gear, and meet your porter before beginning the trek. After a short tea break, the trail descends gently toward Phakding (2,620 m / 8,595 ft), following the Dudh Koshi River and passing through traditional Sherpa villages via Nurning Ghat (2,590 m / 8,497 ft).

The trek covers approximately 8.5 km and takes about 3–4 hours, with a total ascent of around 190 m and a descent of approximately 380 m. This relaxed first trekking day allows for gradual acclimatization while enjoying forested trails, suspension bridges, and scenic Himalayan river valleys.

Phakding (2,620 m / 8,596 ft) is a picturesque riverside village and a popular first overnight stop on the Everest trekking route, offering a gentle introduction to the trek and attractive mountain scenery. There is time to relax and enjoy the surroundings, and overnight accommodation is arranged at Namaste Lodge, a simple, clean, and comfortable mountain lodge with all meals included, providing a pleasant and restful stay. In the evening, the trek is led by a professional local Nepalese guide, who will brief you on the journey ahead and outline the plan for the following day, ensuring a well-organised and enjoyable Everest region trekking experience.

Important Flight Information:
If direct flights from Kathmandu to Lukla are unavailable, travel is routed via Ramechhap (Manthali Airport, 132km & 5 hrs). Guests either depart Kathmandu very early (around 2:00 AM) to catch the same-day Lukla flight or travel in the afternoon (around 3:00 PM) and stay overnight in Manthali.

The direct Kathmandu–Lukla flight takes approximately 35 minutes and usually operates early in the morning, subject to weather conditions and domestic flight schedules. We generally use reliable airlines such as Sita Airlines.

When flying via Ramechhap, the scenic Manthali–Lukla flight takes approximately 20 minutes, offering stunning Himalayan views before landing at Lukla – Tenzing-Hillary Airport.

After a hearty breakfast at the lodge in Phakding, the trek begins towards Namche Bazaar (3,440 m / 11,286 ft), following the trail through Monjo (2,835 m). The route follows the Dudh Koshi River, crossing several high suspension bridges adorned with colourful prayer flags. Along the route, the path winds through authentic Sherpa settlements, shaded pine woodlands, and seasonal rhododendron groves, with frequent glimpses of towering Himalayan peaks covered in snow.

This trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar covers approximately 9.5 kilometres and usually takes 5–6 hours to complete. The trail gains about 860 metres in elevation with a descent of 190 metres, featuring gradual climbs followed by the famous steep ascent into Namche Bazaar. This section of the Everest trek is considered moderate, making it ideal for acclimatisation and an essential part of any Everest Base Camp trek itinerary.

Namche Bazaar (3,440 m / 11,286 ft) is the largest Sherpa settlement in the Khumbu region and a major trading hub, offering a lively atmosphere with shops, cafés, and bakeries set against a dramatic Himalayan backdrop.

The trek is led by a professional local Nepalese guide, ensuring a safe, well-organised, and enjoyable Everest region trekking experience.

An acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar is essential for anyone trekking in the Everest region. Spending an extra day at this altitude allows the body to gradually adapt to thinner air, significantly reducing the risk of altitude sickness later in the journey. Rather than complete rest, a short hike to a higher elevation followed by a return to sleep lower is the most effective acclimatization method and plays a crucial role in the success of any Everest region trek.

The Namche Bazaar acclimatization hike to Khunde covers approximately 8 kilometres and takes around 5–6 hours round trip. The trail ascends about 550 metres and descends the same amount, following well-maintained paths above Namche. This section of the trek offers expansive mountain scenery and a steady uphill walk, making it ideal for acclimatization while remaining physically manageable. The route provides excellent views of the surrounding Himalayan landscape and prepares trekkers for higher elevations ahead.

A major highlight of the hike is a visit to the iconic Everest View Hotel (3,880 m), widely regarded as one of the best viewpoints of Mount Everest and among the world’s highest-located hotels. From its open terrace, trekkers can enjoy spectacular views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. This is an ideal place to pause for refreshments, photography, and rest before continuing on to Khunde, a traditional Sherpa village known for its cultural heritage.

After a hearty breakfast at the lodge in Namche Bazaar, the trek begins towards Phortse (3,810 m / 12,500 ft), following a scenic high trail over Mong La (3,975 m / 13,041 ft).

Dingboche (4,410 m / 14,469 ft) is a well-known trekking village in the upper Khumbu region, often referred to as the “summer valley” due to its wide open pastures and dramatic mountain setting.

Overnight accommodation is arranged at Hotel Tashi Delek, a simple, clean, and comfortable mountain lodge. The trek is led by a professional local Nepalese guide, ensuring a safe, well-organised, and memorable Everest region trekking experience.

An acclimatization day in Dingboche is essential for safe trekking at higher elevations in the Everest region. Spending an extra day here allows your body to adapt to the increasing altitude and significantly reduces the risk of altitude-related issues. Rather than complete rest, a controlled hike to a higher point followed by a return to Dingboche is the most effective acclimatization strategy and prepares you well for the days ahead.

The Dingboche to Nangkar Tshang acclimatization hike covers approximately 5 kilometres round trip and usually takes 4–5 hours to complete.

After returning to Dingboche, the remainder of the day is spent resting, hydrating, and enjoying the peaceful mountain environment. You may take short walks through the village, visit local tea houses, or simply relax at the lodge while taking in the dramatic scenery. In the evening, enjoy a warm meal and time with your trekking group, reflecting on the journey so far. This acclimatization day not only strengthens your physical readiness for higher altitudes but also enhances your overall Everest region trekking experience.

After a hearty breakfast at the lodge in Dingboche, the trek begins towards Lobuche (4,940 m / 16,207 ft), following a scenic high-altitude trail through Thukla Pass (4,830 m). The route gradually ascends through open alpine terrain and rugged glacial landscapes, offering dramatic views of surrounding peaks as the environment becomes increasingly stark and awe-inspiring.

The Dingboche to Lobuche trek via Thukla Pass covers approximately 8 kilometres and usually takes 4–5 hours to complete. The day includes an ascent of about 600 metres with minimal descent.
