Today, you will have a flight to Lukla either from Kathmandu or Ramechhap in the morning. Sometimes, you will have flight from Ramechhap which is four hours far from Kathmandu by bus due to the busy air traffic of Kathmandu airport.

After a short scenic flight to Lukla, your day kicks off with a short 3 hours trek to Phakding. You will have your lunch after reaching Phakding.

Today you will enter the Sagarmatha National Park region, which is also one of the World Heritage sites. Similarly, we will start the trek as soon as we have our breakfast in Phakding.

It will take a minimum of 6 hours to reach Namche Bazar from Phakding. On the way, you will have your first glance of Mount Everest from a viewpoint before reaching Namche Bazar.

Acclimatization Day is most important for this trek. Today you can visit to the Sherpa museum where you can learn the culture of Sherpa, Sagarmatha National Park & the Everest region of Nepal.

Namche Bazar is the biggest trading hub including internet cafes, restaurants, government offices, ATMs, and a cheap market from Friday evening to Saturday.

You can also go hiking to Syangboche where Everest view hotel which is situated on the highest point of earth is located.

Tyangboche is the home of Monks where you can see the culture based on Tibetan culture. After an acclimatization day in Namche Bazar, it will be easy to trek to Tyangboche. However, walk slowly and drink lots of water to be free from Altitude sickness.

When trekking to Tyangboche/Tengboche, you will encounter lots of prayer flags on the way. Similarly, you will be surrounded by the beautiful Mountains until you reach Mount Everest Base Camp. And to reach the Tyangboche it will only take 6 hours on average. At Tyangboche, you can see the oldest monastery of the Everest region.

(Nangkartshang 5,081m Peak is terribly steep upward to climb which is also very hard but totally worth it.) Or you can go for Chhukung village which is gradual up.
Today’s acclimatization day will help you to tackle altitude sickness as well as it will help you to boost your energy.

After a second acclimatization day at Dingboche, you will be almost ready for Everest Base Camp. Trekking to Lobuche will be easy as pie if you have climbed to Nangkartshang peak.
