We will explore the capital city of Nepal and spend the night, while we prepare ourselves for the trek. Our stay will be in a 4* hotel in the center of Thamel, the touristic area of Kathmandu.

We will leave from the hotel around 2am and we head to the airport which is 5 hours away from Kathmandu. We we will take a 30mins flight to Lukla. 

This is where our adventure really begins! We start with a small hike of about 3 hours to Phakding, where we will spend the night.

Today our destination is the famous Namche Bazar, also known as the capital of the Everest region in the Himalayas. 

We will be walking slowly today as we are going to hit an altitude of 3440m.

Today is an acclimatisation day. 

As we go to higher altitudes, our body needs to get used to the new conditions, so it is better to take it easy and explore Namche Bazar, its vibrant market and the amazing views of the surrounding peaks.

On we go!

We will be trekking some uphill trails and others downhill. 

We will be crossing suspension bridges. 

We will get the chance to see Tengboche monastery, observe prayers and watch the sunset over the Himalayas.

Today marks the first day where we will be hiking above 4000m. We will be taking it slow in order not to exhaust our body. It will be an absolutely beautiful day as you make your way through the valley with the glacier river down below and the snow capped peaks in the distance.

We will have another acclimatisation day in Dingboche village- here we will be able to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Makalu ,Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama-dablum and many other peaks.

Our destination for today is Lobuche - the second highest village on the trail. 

For acclimatisation purposes, we will hike a little higher than Lobuche village, to see the Khumbu glacier..  we then head back to sleep in the village.

This is our big day! 

First we hike to Gorakshep, which is the last village before Everest base camp. 

After having our lunch break we will move towards EBC, where we will spend some quality time in order to embrace the achievement and take in the moment of being so close to the world's highest mountain.

We return to Gorakshep to spend the night.

The first part of today's trek will take us to Kala Patthar, where we can have a better view of Mount Everest and the surrounding mountains, also the famous Khumbu glacier and Ice fall. We will finish our hike in Pheriche where we will spend the night.

We will be heading back to Namche Bazar where it all started.

This is a day for celebration and praising our achievement- Well done! 

You have completed the EBC trek successfully and this will be your final night in the Everest region of the Himalayas.

We will take the flight back from Lukla in the early morning, and we will drive back to Kathmandu. 

You will have the afternoon to enjoy the city, buy some souvenirs and even relax in a SPA. And as a reward for our efforts for the past two weeks we will be staying in a 5* Hotel for this night!

Today will be a day to relax, enjoy the pool at the hotel, share the good moments you had on the mountains and explore Kathmandu.

Until next time beautiful Nepal!
