Follow in the footsteps of legends and stand face to face with the world’s highest peak.
After a thrilling mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (2,790m), the trek begins as we ascend through the heart of the Khumbu Valley. Walking along the roaring Dudh Kosi River, we reach the bustling Sherpa hub of Namche Bazaar (3,390m)—the gateway to Everest.
As we continue, we explore nearby valleys, pass through rhododendron forests, and visit the sacred Tengboche Monastery, set against a backdrop of stunning Himalayan peaks. We hike across high alpine meadows where yaks graze, leading us to the quaint Sherpa village of Pangboche. The trail climbs further through Dingboche, Lobuche, and the moraine-laced paths of Chengri Shar Glacier, eventually bringing us to Gorakshep, a barren yet breathtaking expanse.
From there, we make our way to Everest Base Camp (5,364m)—the legendary launching point for summit expeditions. The journey culminates with a sunrise hike to the broad summit of Kalapattar (5,630m), offering the most iconic panoramic views of Mount Everest, the Khumbu Glacier, and surrounding giants.
