<p>We will spend a day here in order to acclimatize and adjust to the thinning of the air. We will take a short trek to a museum which is celebrating the traditional customs of the Sherpa people.</p> <p>Today we hike up to Syangboche Airport around Everest View Hotel. From this point, we can see rewarding views of the Himalayas with a stunning sunrise and sunset over the panorama of Khumbu peaks.</p> <p>Overnight: Guesthouse.</p>
<p>The trek continues along the rushing glacial waters of the Dudh Koshi with magnificent views of the mountains. We trek to an altitude of 3860 meters today.</p> <p>On reaching Tengboche you will see the local monastery. Inside the monastery are incredibly ornate wall hangings, a 20-foot sculpture of Buddha, and the musical instruments and robes of the Lamas.</p> <p>The group will be taken to observe a prayer ceremony either in the evening or morning depending on how the day's trekking went.</p> <p>Overnight: Guesthouse.</p>
<p>From Tengboche, the trail drops to Debuche, crosses another exciting suspension bridge on the Imja Khola and climbs to Pangboche amongst thousands of mani stones.</p> <p>Our uphill trek continues, taking us to the quaint traditional Sherpa village of Dingboche with its exquisite views of Lhotse, Island Peak, and Ama Dablam.</p> <p>We take our time so we avoid getting affected by the altitude.</p> <p>Overnight: Guesthouse.</p>
<p>Today, the trail continues along the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier and passes by stone memorials for climbers who have perished on nearby summits.</p> <p>We continue to climb as we are heading to an altitude of 4910 meters at Lobuche which is really just a few huts at the foot of giant Lobuche peak.</p> <p>Some breathing problems may arise today due to the altitude.</p> <p>Overnight: Guesthouse.</p>
<p>This is another big and difficult days walk along the Khumbu Glacier and up to Everest Base Camp at 5380 meters, the closest you can get to Mt. Everest without mountaineering equipment.</p> <p>There will likely be a team about to attempt the summit. The view of the Khumbu Icefall from Base Camp is spectacular. We return back to Gorakshep for the night.</p> <p>Overnight: Guesthouse.</p>
<p>This will be one of the most difficult yet rewarding days of the trek. Most of the morning in this day is spent climbing Mt. Kalapatthar, a small peak (by Himalayan standards) at 5555meters.</p> <p>The ascent is demanding but the climber gets the most magnificent mountain panorama: Everest, the highest point on the planet at 29028 ft, 8848 meters, towers directly ahead and on all sides loom the other giants pf, Nuptse, Pumori, Chagatse, Lhotse and countless others.</p> <p>We make a quick descent to Gorakshep, a tiny hamlet at 5180 meters then trek down to Periche.</p> <p>Overnight: Guesthouse.</p>
<p>From Periche we take a slightly different route down to Orsho, then to Pangboche village. Here is the oldest monastery in the region which contains what is said to be the scalp and bones of a 'Yeti' or the abominable snowman.</p> <p>Leaving mountains behind us, our descent takes us through Tengboche Monastery at an elevation of 3860 meters before continuing back to the town of Namche Bazaar at 3441meters. We arrive back to Namche Bazaar in the afternoon.</p> <p>Overnight: Guesthouse.</p>
<p>Finally, we return to Lukla where the trek began, which will seem like a lifetime ago; enjoying time to reflect on the trek as a group and the personal achievement of all those who took part and also giving you time to explore the town.</p> <p>Overnight: Guesthouse.</p>
<p>Enjoy your last glimpse of the mountains you have recently visited for one last time on the 35-minute scenic flight back to Kathmandu.</p> <p>On arrival in Kathmandu, we are met and transferred back to our starting hotel.</p> <p>In the evening we will have a farewell dinner in a traditional Nepalese restaurant with cultural performances. (Your guide(s) and office staff will accompany you).</p> <p>Overnight: Hotel in Kathmandu.</p>
The trip ends, our airport representative will drop you to the Kathmandu International Airport for your flight departure from Nepal.
