As you embark on the Trek, you will have the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the daily lifestyle of the mountain people, including the Sherpas. The trail passes through many small settlements; each offers a glimpse into the rich culture and traditions of the locals. You will explore monasteries and stupas, further deepening your understanding of this unique community.
The hike to Hotel Everest View begins from Namche Bazaar. The trail winds through lush forests, across suspension bridges, and up steep hills and offers trekkers a chance to experience the region's rugged beauty up close. After a few hours of hike, you arrive at Hotel Everest View, from where they will get an excellent view of Everest (8,849 m).
The hike also offers an outstanding view of Mt. Thamserku (6,608 m), Kongde Ri (6,187 m), Mt. Lhotse (8,516 m), Mt. Nuptse (7,61 m), and Mt. Ama Dablam (6,812 m).

After you return to Namche Bazaar, you can spend the remaining day exploring the market. You can also visit local shops, cafes, and restaurants.
As we all know, the Everest base camp trail is adventurous because it ascends and descends along narrow and steep hillsides.
The old bridges, streams, and glacier crossings make the journey fascinating. You pass by mules and yaks. Trust us, you'll never see such a hospitable environment anywhere else, where everyone smiles and says Namaste to each other even if they are strangers.
Along the trekking route, there are many stupas and monasteries. You visit the ancient Khumjung and Tengboche monastery during the Luxury Everest Base Camp Odyssey. Apart from these monasteries, prayer wheels, chortens, and prayer flags are everywhere. The locals are followers of Buddhism mostly.
Even if we count mountains on our fingers, we'll be unable to fit every single one we see while trekking. Every step of the Trek will bring you close to nature. The tranquil and soothing environment will let you unwind your thoughts and become more apparent in your life. The lush green valley changes into barren, rocky hills.
Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Mt. Lhotse (8,516 m), Mt. Nuptse (7,861 m), Mt. Ama Dablam (6,812 m), Mt. Pumori (7,161 m), Mt. Cho Oyu (8,188 m), Mt. Makalu (8,463 m), Island Peak (6,160 m), Lobuche Peak (6,119 m), etc. are some of the Himalayan mountains you see on the Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek.
At 5,545 meters, Kala Patthar boasts gorgeous sunrises and 360-degree views of mountains. This part of the trail takes you above the clouds and presents heavenly scenery. As Mt. Everest is not seen from Everest Base Camp, we hike to Kala Patthar to relish one of the best views of this gigantic mountain.
Our team will welcome you at the Tribhuvan International Airport. You can meet them at the terminal waiting area. They will carry your nameplate or the company banner, so you can easily find them. We use a private vehicle for hotel transfers.
As we have pre-booked the hotel for you, they will be ready to welcome you and shift you to your room immediately. Spend the remaining day relaxing.
Wake up with a delicious breakfast. The guide will be in your hotel lobby around 9-10 AM with a car/van and driver to pick you up. You'll visit a few monuments with a guide and learn about Nepal's architecture, art, and history. All the historical sites you will see today are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. So, we begin the tour by visiting Swayambhunath temple, the famous Monkey temple. Located at the top of a hill, it offers an excellent aerial view of Kathmandu.
From here, we drive to Patan Durbar Square. The tour ends in Patan Durbar Square, a royal residence now serving as an open museum. Here, we explore palaces, courtyards, and shrines. You will return to the hotel and stay overnight at the hotel.
Early in the morning, you will fly to Lukla airport by helicopter. Your trek guide will pick you up from the hotel at the given time. After completing the airport protocols, we will take a breathtaking flight to Lukla, the starting point of our journey. The flight will offer stunning aerial views of the Himalayas, lush green hills, rivers, and valleys.
Upon landing at Lukla, porters will join the group. The walk from Lukla to Phakding village is short and leisurely. The trail descends through lush forests, following the Dudh Kosi River. We will trek past small villages and cross many suspension bridges.
The day's highlight is the striking view of Mt. Khumbila and Kongde, RI. At the end of the day, an overnight stay at a luxurious lodge is a perfect ending.
From Phakding village, our next stop is the iconic Namche Bazaar. The trail goes along the northern bank of the River.
Today is a long and adventurous day. We will be trekking to the famous Namche Bazaar. After a warm breakfast, leave Phakding early, following your guide's lead. Today, the trail ascends and descends through lush rhododendron and magnolia forests. We will come across lovely waterfalls, streams, and remote settlements. There is a police check post outside Monjo village, where we register our permits before continuing. While trekking, we get a glimpse of the locals' daily lives.
The final ascent to Namche Bazaar is steep, and the trail gets rugged.
Namche Bazaar is the tourist hub of the Khumbu region. It has many modern services, such as ATMs, cafes, museums, shops, etc. Before we continue our journey, it is crucial to acclimatize at this elevation to avoid any risk of altitude sickness later on.
In the morning, we will hike to the Hotel Everest View. It is one of the highest luxury hotels in the world, situated at 13,000 ft above sea level. The hike to the hotel is a bit trodden, but the constant views of Mt. Thamserku, Kongde Ri, Chamlang, etc. make the walk fantastic.
Upon reaching the hotel, we will see the first view of Mt. Everest, along with Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, and Mt. Ama Dablam. After spending some time here, I returned to Namche Bazaar and the rest of the days is free and explore the market.
The trail descends to Phunki Thanka. Walking alongside the foothills, we may pass by donkeys and yaks carrying goods. The trail then steeply ascends through a rhododendron forest to Tengboche village. The trail is scenic. While trekking, you can witness a panorama of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Pumori, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, and many other mountains.
After breakfast, we first trek to Pangboche village. Further, hiking through lush alpine forests and rhododendron trees, we see the treeline diminishing. Walking by shrubs, we pass by farming fields and soon reach Dingboche village for the night's stay.
We spend another acclimatization day in Dingboche. In the morning, we hike to Nagarjun Hill, a ridge above Dingboche village that offers sick views of the snow-capped mountains. Views of Ama Dablam and Island Peak are especially outstanding.
The trekking experience from Dingboche onwards is quite different. The trail gets steeper and rugged, with bare hills and prominent views of the majestic Himalayan Mountains.
We walk on the steep terminal moraine of Khumbu Glacier and reach Thukla. The trail then passes by the memorials and Sherpa guides who lost their lives while pushing towards Everest's top. We further ascend to Lobuche village.
Following the footsteps of our trek leader, we begin trekking towards the lap of Mt. Everest today. First, we walk by Gorak Shep. The trail is rough and rocky.
Upon reaching the Everest base camp, we can see the Khumbu Icefall beyond the Khumbu Glacier. After spending time at the base camp, we descend to Gorak Shep to sleep comfortably in a lodge.
Early this morning, we will hike to Kalapattar to see the sunrise view over the Himalayas and to Gorekshep for a hot breakfast.
You will then ride a helicopter to fly back to Kathmandu. The flight will be comfortable. You will land at Lukla for 15 minutes to refuel the chopper and then fly back to Kathmandu. Our guide will drop you off at the hotel.
We want to take your time with you, so we have left one full day free in Kathmandu. You can relax, visit a spa, taste Nepali delicacies, and go shopping.
In the late evening, we will meet for a farewell dinner.
The luxurious Everest trek in Nepal comes to an end. On this day, you will fly back home. Our guide will be at your service to drop you off at the Tribhuvan International Airport. I hope you had a good time with us.
Luxury Everest base camp trek is a moderate trek, which means the trail has no technical climbing or requires advanced physical fitness. However, there are long ascends and descends along rugged, forested paths. Apart from the trodden trail, the high altitude and limited infrastructure make the trek challenging for some trekkers.
The high altitude and drastic environmental change may lead some trekkers to acute mountain sickness, also called altitude sickness. How your body reacts at high altitudes is out of our control.
Still, we will try our best to give you the best service and immediate medical assistance if you happen to suffer from altitude sickness during the Trek.
There are a few things you can do to make the Trek to Everest base camp smoother. First, make sure your itinerary has ample rest days. Take your time while trekking, and enjoy the journey to the fullest. Below, we have provided our best advice for preparing for the Everest base camp trek.
Keep 4 to 6 weeks aside to prepare for the EBC Luxury trek. In that time, get your body and mind ready for the Trek. Increase your stamina and walking habit to 6-7 hours a day.
