Everest View Trek

Upon your arrival at Kathmandu's airport, our representative from Altitude Experts Trips & Expedition will warmly greet you and escort you to your pre-arranged hotel in the vibrant area of Thamel. Take your time to settle in and explore the bustling streets of Thamel, where you'll find various shops, restaurants, and amenities.

In the morning, we finalize our trip preparations, including last-minute shopping and packing. Alternatively, we can arrange a half-day city sightseeing tour to Kathmandu's world heritage sites, such as Boudhanath Stupa, Swayambhunath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, and Kathmandu Durbar Square.

Due to air congestion at TIA, which operates a single runway for both domestic and international flights, all flights to and from Lukla are redirected to Manthali Airport, Ramechhap during the peak seasons of spring (April-May) and autumn (October-November). This change, mandated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, helps alleviate the heavy air traffic at TIA.

In the afternoon, we embark on our journey to Everest, starting with an approximate 4.5-hour drive to Manthali in a private vehicle. The route follows the B.P. Highway, passing through Bhaktapur and Dhulikhel. We gradually descend towards Khurkot, where the Tama Koshi and Sun Koshi Rivers converge. Following the Sun Koshi River, we then continue alongside the Tama Koshi River almost to Manthali.

Upon arrival in Manthali, we check in at a resort for an overnight stay and enjoy dinner to conclude the day's journey.

Today, due to new regulations, the flights to Lukla will likely operate from Manthali Airport in Ramechhap District. An early morning start requires waking up at 2 a.m. to embark on a four-hour drive from Kathmandu to Manthali. From there, you'll take a breathtaking 20-minute flight to Lukla.

Upon landing in Lukla, our professional trekking team will be there to welcome you. You'll be served a hearty second breakfast before commencing your first-day hike in the Himalayas.

From the airstrip, our trek begins with a scenic walk through Lukla Bazaar. Passing Chheplung, Thadokoshi, Ghat, and other picturesque villages, we make our way to the charming village of Phakding, surrounded by terraced fields and stunning views of the Khumbi Yulha and Dudhkoshi Rivers.

Continuing our journey, we traverse suspension bridges over the Dudh Koshi River and enter the Sagarmatha National Park. Passing through Benkar, Chumo, and Monju, we make our way to Jorsale for lunch. Afterward, we cross the highest suspension bridge in the valley and ascend steeply through the pine jungle, catching our first glimpse of Mount Everest. Finally, we reach Namche Bazaar, a vibrant Sherpa village with various attractions.

After breakfast, we embark on a steep climb up the ridge above Namche Bazar to Syangboche, the highest airport in Nepal, bustling with Everest Expedition activities during the spring season. We then walk through juniper bushes to the whitewashed Stupa above Syangboche and descend to Khumjung, a green valley and one of the oldest Sherpa settlements in the Everest region, home to a school built by Sir Edmund Hillary in the early 1960s. After lunch in Khumjung, we take the right path by the end of the Khumjung, intersecting trails to Everest Base Camp/Gokyo Trek and Hotel Everest View, and ascend for about 40 minutes to Hotel Everest View where we stay overnight. 

You may choose to wake up early to catch the sunrise over the mountains before having breakfast and starting your journey to Lukla. The narrow trail along the hillside takes us to the Panorama Hotel, followed by a steep descent into Namche Bazar. From here, we walk downhill through the pine forests to the confluence of Dudhkoshi River, arriving at Jorsalle village. Exiting Sagarmatha National Park, we pass through Monju, Benkar, and Phakding, where we will stop for lunch.

Post lunch, we continue our journey through the undulating trials towards Ghat and Tadokoshi. Then the ascending trail leads us to Cheplung and Chaurikharaka, from where the trail ascends to Pasanglhamu Gate, Lukla through the rhododendron forest, where we end our journey to Everest View Trek with a farewell dinner with the supporting staff.

Depending on the scheduled flight time, we will make our way to the airport for our journey back to Kathmandu or Manthali, depending on the flight destination. Upon our arrival at the Kathmandu/Manthali airport, our attentive staff will be on hand to ensure a smooth transition and transfer you to your designated hotel.

Later in the evening, we will come together once more for a memorable farewell dinner in the bustling Thamel district. This is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our adventures, share stories, and savor the unique flavors of Nepali cuisine.

Depending on your flight schedule, our staff will arrange for your transfer from the hotel to the airport for your final departure.

This marks the end of your remarkable Everest Three Pass Trek, filled with breathtaking landscapes, challenging trails, and unforgettable experiences in the heart of the Himalayas. We hope you depart with cherished memories and a sense of accomplishment.
