So let us start our trek.

Day 01: Welcome to Kathmandu (1360m). Transfer to hotel, welcome dinner with your guide, trek preparation, permits, equipment check etc.

Day 02: Breakfast and half day sightseeing. Trek preparations, shopping etc.

Day 03: (1). Very early breakfast, take the scenic flight to Lukla (2,827m), meet your porters, and then walk to Phakding (2,600m), through alpine woodlands.

Day 04: (2). Trek to Jorsala (2800m), passing through the hustle and bustle of the daily life of the Sherpa people. Waterfalls, goats and small children along the way provide inspirational photo motives.

Day 05: (3). We cross the river to follow its bank to the photogenic swing bridge that marks the start of a long up-hill walk to reach the Sherpa capital, Namche Bazar (3,440m).

Day 06: (4). Morning visit to museum, the Gompa, and for those who wish we ascend to the Everest View Hotel for lunch, and descend back to Namche.

Day 07: (5). Two alternatives ascend via The Everest View Hotel to Khumjung (3800m), lunch, and then descend to Kyangjuma (3500m). Alternatively, go direct to Kyangjuma, which is the better for children, or if you wish an easier day. Both routes provide incredible views.

Day 08: (6). Now we descend steeply to Phuge Tanga (one trekking pole recommended), for a second breakfast, before the steep ascent through the pine forest to Tangboche (3860m). Here we visit the museum, Gompa (temple) and we hope to have great evening and morning views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam.
