Everest Base Camp Deluxe Journey – 16 Days

Welcome to Nepal! Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, a representative from Ama Adventure will greet you and transfer you to your hotel. After settling in, you’ll meet your guide for a short briefing about the upcoming adventure. If time permits, enjoy a stroll through Thamel’s lively streets.

After breakfast, you will head towards Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple. Perched atop a hill overlooking the Kathmandu Valley, this ancient stupa is one of the most iconic landmarks of Nepal. Believed to have been self-created, it holds deep spiritual significance for both Buddhists and Hindus. From the top, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the valley, surrounded by prayer flags, shrines, and playful monkeys that give the site its nickname.

After that, we will meet up for the trip preparation

After an early breakfast, take a scenic flight to Lukla, your gateway to the Everest region. Once there, meet your porters and begin your first day of trekking through pine forests and across suspension bridges to reach Phakding.

Today’s trek follows the Dudh Koshi River and crosses several suspension bridges, including the iconic Hillary Bridge. The climb to Namche is steep but rewarding, offering your first glimpse of Everest on a clear day. Namche is the bustling heart of the Khumbu region.

To help your body adjust to the altitude, enjoy a relaxed acclimatization day. Hike to the Everest View Hotel for panoramic mountain views, and visit the local Sherpa museum. The rest of the day is free to explore Namche’s bakeries, markets, and mountain shops.

Continue along a winding path high above the Dudh Koshi. After visiting the famous Tengboche Monastery, surrounded by towering peaks, descend through forest and climb gently to Pangboche, a charming village beneath the mighty Ama Dablam.

Leave the treeline behind as you trek into alpine terrain. The trail opens up to expansive views of glacial valleys and wind-swept ridges. Dingboche, nestled in the Imja Valley, offers a peaceful setting with stone-walled fields and distant snow-capped peaks.

Take a gradual uphill hike to Nangkartshang Peak for an epic panorama of Makalu, Lhotse, and Island Peak. This acclimatization hike strengthens your lungs and legs before the higher elevations to come.

Trek past Dughla and the poignant memorials dedicated to climbers who lost their lives on Everest. Continue along a rocky moraine to reach the windswept village of Lobuche, surrounded by jagged peaks and glaciers.

Today’s the big day. Walk along the glacial moraine to reach Gorak Shep, then continue to the legendary Everest Base Camp. Stand beneath the Khumbu Icefall and take in the sheer scale of the world’s highest mountain.

Climb to Kala Patthar at dawn for a golden sunrise over Everest, then descend through Lobuche to the riverside village of Pheriche. The air thickens slightly as you return to lower altitude.

Retrace your steps through Pangboche and Tengboche, passing yak herders, rhododendron groves, and mani walls. Arrive in Namche for a hot shower and a well-deserved rest.

Descend through forest and over suspension bridges one final time. Reach Lukla by afternoon, where you’ll celebrate the end of your trek with your guides and porters.

Board an early flight to Kathmandu. Once back in the city, you can relax at your hotel, enjoy a massage, or explore the local markets at your own pace.

Spend a free day to shop for souvenirs, visit a spa, or explore Patan or Bhaktapur. In the evening, enjoy a traditional Nepali farewell dinner with cultural performance hosted by Ama Adventure.

Your journey ends today. A private vehicle will transfer you to the airport for your international flight. Leave with unforgettable memories of the Khumbu and Everest Base Camp.
