Fly from Kathmandu to Lukla (2886m.) and Trek to Phakding: 35 Min fly: 3:30 Hrs trek

Early morning, fly together to Lukla. Lukla is a small town with an airport. There are few tea shops, lodges, hotels and general stores. You begin today’s trek from Lukla following a gentle climb up the mountainside on the left bank of the Dudh Koshi. Nupla (5885m) can be seen in the distance on the opposite bank, is a peak atop the Kongde Ridge. You descend a mountainside path that merges into your route to Everest, with views to a valley to your right; and at its far end, Kusum Kang (6367m.). The Dudh Kosi approaches as you pass a Mani wall and arrive at Ghat teahouse. You continue along a small path with many climbs and descents following the left bank of Dudh Koshi to Phakding.

Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3440 m.): 5 Hrs

Thamserku looms skyward on the opposite bank. You cross a stream and climb the terraced hill from the Dudh Koshi route, to arrive at Benkar. The trail now climbs from the river bed on the left bank into the mountain, through a forest to Chumoa. You continue along a path with many ups and downs; cross a stream, and pass by the tiny village of Monjo. Now you descend the path of stone steps and return to the right bank. After a short climb you come to Jorsale’s teahouse and hotel, also stop at the National Park entrance counter where National Park fee is collected. After your departure from Jorsale you enter a forested mountainside. You follow a short walk along the riverbed of this V-shaped valley where the river forks - the right is the Dudh Koshi and the left is the Bhote Koshi that leads to Nampa La. After short distance along the Bhote Kosi you begin the steep ascent to Namche Bazar. As the mountain path zigzags uphill, you will emerge at a ridge top rest area that offers excellent views of Everest (8848m) and Lhotse (8516m.), The climb eases somewhat, and Namche Bazar appears ahead as you travel along the path surrounded by pines. Pass the plateau where the Saturday market is held and enter the village. Namche Bazar (3440m) is surrounded on three sides by mountain ranges and opens out only where it faces the Bhote Koshi. The village is a central hub of the area and food, sundries and even mountain climbing equipment may be purchased here.

Rest day at Namche Bazaar (3440 m.) for acclimatization:

Namche is tucked away between two ridges amidst the giant peaks of the Khumbu and has an abundance of lodges, tea shops and souvenir shops as well as a magnificent outlook. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day for acclimatization to the high altitude before heading off towards Tyangboche. For the acclimatization you walk up to Khhumjung where you can visit monastery. Khhumjung is densely populated by Sherpa community. You can also enjoy the splendid views of Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Nuptse, Lhotse, Tawche and kongde. Or you can have an hour walk up to the Syangboche (3800m.) where you will have the amazing view of Mt.Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Cholatse, Tawoche, Kwangde, Kusum Kangaru and more.. There is an also good view from the National Park Centre and Museum just above the town. This museum exhibits Sherpa culture.

Trek from Namche Bazaar to Tyangboche (3867 m.): 5hrs

You leave the village for a climb to the top of a ridge and level mountain path that offers an excellent panorama of Thamserku, Kantega, and Kusum Kangrib. To the right there is a steep cliff that drops down to the Dudh Kosi, faintly visible on the valley floor below. As you make your way around a branch ridge, Ama Dablam (6812m) Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse (7855m) and Tawoche (6501m) suddenly appear. After a gentle descent the mountain path ends; you will come to the fork leading to Gokyo. Now you descend past two tea houses and through the village of Trashinga. Though you cannot see it, you can hear the Dudh Kosi and soon you descend to the river and arrive at Phunki Tenga. It is a long climb to Tyangboche; the first half is especially steep. As you climb through the forested zone, the incline eases and a splendid view appears. Continue climbing the mountainside diagonally until you come to the stone gate built by lamas which marks your entry into Tyangboche (3867m). You may use the large plateau in front of the splendid monastery as your campsite. There are a lodge and hotel managed by the National Park Service. Tyangboche is an important lookout point on this course, and the sunset on Everest and Ama Dablam is especially beautiful.

Trek from Tyangboche to Pangaboche (4260 m.): 2: 30 hrs

Leave Tyangboche and the Khumbu mountains as a backdrop-and descend a rhododendron covered area to emerge to a pleasant level area. Pass a long Mani stone wall to enter the village of Deboche. Go on to Minlinggo and leave the mountain path to cross over a suspension bridge to the left bank of the Imja Khola. Climb the mountain path while looking up at Ama Dablam and Kantega (6779m) as they appear on the opposite bank. Ascend the chorten-lined route, come to a fork, the upper path passes Pangboche and a monastery, take the lower path to Pangboche Olin and its stone wall-enclosed potato field. Having Lunch organize trekking passing through the village and cross Imja Khola (Imja River) a stream to a path skirting a rocky area to terraced hills. The trails climb slowly, winding above the Imjatse River. From here, the walk is fairly moderate as you enter the Amadablam Base Camp.

Acclimatization day at Amadablam Base Camp :

On this day you may have full day rest or there are some places where you can go for short hike. The views from here is superb. Its way up through an ever changing environment of rock towers, ice humps, snow and ice platforms, and terminates upon a ramp of steepish ice and snow before rounding off to a spectacular summit mound where the views of Everest and a multitude of other peaks abound. It is the outlandish exposure, a mind boggling variation of scenery and topography, and the little hidden discoveries along the way up and across the ridge, that make climbing this route such a tantalizing experience.

Base Camp to Camp 1: 4 - 6 hours:

The only non-technical portion of the climb. Leave base camp 4600M and head towards the South west ridge via a will worn trail. Climb up scree & possible snow slopes to the large talus field. Do your best to follow the rock cairns through the talus where you will eventually see the site of camp 1 and the start of the fixed lines, the slabs. Helmets on, either climb the low 5th class slabs or jumar up fixed lines to camp 1st 5650 m.

Camp 1st to Camp 2nd : 5 hrs

Follow the ridge, and likely the fixed lines, for an amazing day in the hills. Classic slabby climbing with a few short steep pitches that can easily be free climbed at about 5.6. Be prepared for insane exposure on both sides of the ridge. The crux of the route is the Yellow Tower located right before camp 2 at about 5965M. Jumar or climb the 5.9 35M near vertical rock pitch, don't look down ! Camp 2 is situated about 100 horizontal meters from camp 2 6000 M

Camp 2nd to Camp 3rd : 6 to 10 hrs

Be well prepared for this day, both physically and mentally. The exposure is out of this world and the climbing is non stop, in your face from right out of camp 2. Ascent the Grey Tower, usually a moderate mixed climb of M4 or lower. Watch out for climbers above as the rock is very loose. Traverse onto the ice and gain the Mushroom Ridge right before the new site of Camp 3 6350M. We no longer use the old site of camp 3 and have opted to dig into the ridge for a safe, secure camp. It is also possible to summit from camp 2 for stronger parties. We recommend it highly.

Camp 3 to Summit: 4: 30 hrs

Climb the final sections of the Mushroom Ridge to the site of the old camp 3. Ascend the 50 degree hard ice and snow slopes around the right side of the Dablam. Take a breather, cross the bergschrund, and follow the left trending ridge 45 degrees line directly to the summit. It is advisable to get off of the mountain as quickly as possible. It is common practice to descend from the summit to C3 or C2 and down to base camp the next day

Base Camp cleaning day and trek descend down to Pangboche village.

Trek from Pangboche village to Namche Bazaar (3440 m): 4:30 hrs

The walk from Pangboche to Tyangaboche has to walk on the rocky sand trail. We crossed the river and walk through Rhodondron forest to great Tyangaboche Monestery. Tyangboche is mostly downhill on the main busy trail with a few steep climbs for an hour from the bridge at Phungitenga, near to Shanasha. The walk to Namche is very scenic on a long winding path.
