Nepal is a country bursting with culture and history, making it the perfect place for any explorer.

The architecture, food, and people are so far removed from the West that you will be able to completely neglect your worries back home, and embrace the buzzing, vibrant new society that welcomes you in Kathmandu.

day 1: Lukla to PhakdingThe expedition starts with a 230m descent from Lukla to the peaceful riverside hamlet of Phakding.

At Phakding you have the option to visit a stunning hidden monastery, an hour’s walk from the hamlet. This will be your first opportunity to gain insight into the local way of life in remote areas of the Khamdu region.

Day 4: Namche Bazaar - Tengboche After a day trekking you will arrive at Tengboche. You will have the chance to visit the historic monastery, see all of the beautiful architecture, and catch a glimpse at the disciplined lives of the monks who inhabit the monastery.

As if the Tengboche Monastery is not stunning enough on its own, the awe inspiring Abu Dablam (6,856m), overlooking the monastery, and considered by many to be the world’s most beautiful mountain, adds a breathtaking finishing touch to the scene.

Day 2: Phakding - Namche Bazaar From Phakding you will trek to the hidden town of Namche Bazaar. Namche is the trading hub of the Khumbu region and you will have the chance to pick up some authentic Nepal products here.

Day 3: Namche Bazaar, Acclimatization Day Day 3 is an acclimatization day. You will ascend and descend 400m, and in doing so will ensure your body adjusts to the altitude. You will also have the chance to see some spectacular mountain peaks, including Abu Dablam, as well as the world’s highest airport.

Day 5: Tengboche - DingbocheAs you pass the 4,000m mark the tree line suddenly disappears, and you are greeted by a harsher, rockier terrain. From here onwards you are constantly surrounded by spectacular mountain peaks.

Day 6: Dingboche, AcclimatizationDay 6 is the second acclimatization day to ensure your body adjusts smoothly to the altitude. It involves ascending 400m before returning to Dingboche.

Day 7: Dingboche - Lobuche (Khumbu Glacier)

After a day’s trekking through a spectacular valley you will arrive at a cosy tea house in the settlement of Lobuche, beside the Khumbu glacier.

Walk along the edge of the glacier, and hear the growling of the shifting ice. Avalanches can be seen on the other side of the glacier down the mountain



Day 8: Gorak Shep and EVEREST BASE CAMP After trekking parallel to the Khumbu Glacier you will arrive at the lodge of Gorak Shep. After an hour and a half ’s trek from Gorak Shep all of your hard work pays off, as you reach Mount Everest Base Camp. The feeling of satisfaction is indescribable as you reach this legendry spot. You will spend about an hour at Base Camp, taking in the views and capturing this magical moment on camera.



Day 9: Summit of Kala Patthar On day 9 there is the option to summit Kala Patthar (5,545m), where some of the best panoramic views of Everest and the surrounding mountain peaks can be taken in.

After returning to Gorak Shep, you will begin the three day trek back to Lukla for your return flight to Kathmandu.

expedition guidesOur experienced, enthusiastic, and English-speaking team will ensure that you get the most out of this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, whilst maintaining your personal safety at all times. Tap into our guides’ local knowledge to make the very most of your trip.

Health and fitnessThe Everest Base Camp trek is strenuous, but does not require that you have any previous trekking or mountaineering experience. The only requisite is that you are in good physical and mental condition, and that you can hike with a backpack for 4-6 hours daily without completely losing the plot!

The altitude affects people differently, but it is common for participants to experience mild headaches on the expeditions after a day of ascending. Despite this, the effects of altitude usually subside after a few hours, as your body naturally adjusts to the altitude. To aid the acclimatization process we factor in two acclimatization days. We require that anybody with past medical conditions seek medical advice before enrolling on an expedition.

Two Night Safari Trip

Head out to the Chitwan National Park to see some of the spectacular wildlife that inhabits Nepal. The park is home to over 50 species of mammals including the beautiful Single-Horned Asian Rhinoceros and the Bengal Tiger.

After your Expedition

The trip will start with your private transportation from Kathmandu to your hotel where you will be staying on the safari. Once you arrive you will have chance to relax and go on a riverside walk at sunset where it is possible to see rhinos bathing at dusk.

After a refreshing night’s sleep you will start the day with a canoe ride down the river where you are likely to be able to spot crocodiles. You will then go on a jungle trek searching for some of the exciting species followed by an Elephant shower.

After lunch you trek through the jungle on the back of an elephant which is when the best wildlife is most likely to be found. You will finish the day with dinner and then a cultural show in the local village. On day three there will be an early morning bird watching opportunity and then back to Kathmandu.



Visit a Hidden Rainforest Spa Retreat

Take a trip after you return from your expedition out into the jungle and discover a magical hidden rainforest resort which offers much more than just relaxation. The perfect way to finish off an already unforgettable trip.

Relaxing and exciting experiences the resort has to offer include:

- 160m bungee jump

- Spa facilities

- Worlds highest canyon swing

- White water rafting

- Lush gardens



Visit the Pokhora Lake

After a testing expedition take some time out to relax and no where offers a better place to do so than at the beautiful, peaceful Pockhara Lake. Take some time out to enjoy the tropical weather whilst still being able to look out onto the beautiful Himalayan mountain range in the distance.

If your craving for excitement has still not been satisfied, you can roam the skies with the Eagles by taking a tandem paragliding flight which offers spectacular views. Or if you want to slow the pace down a bit, rent a boat and chill on the lake. The town situated on edge of the lake offers many delicious restaurants and lively bars.



Attend an exclusive hour long presentation, whilst in Kathmandu, by six-time Mount Everest Summiteer, Passang Sherpa, and hear his personal tales of peril and adventure summitting the highest mountain on earth. Passang is one of the few people in the world to have reached the top of the earth. With a one in ten chance of death, Passang is lucky to be here to tell his tales after 6 summits. A opportunity not be missed by any adventurer!
