Happyland Treks welcome you heartily welcomes you to this wonder Kathmandu city which is the Capital city of Nepal. The moment you land at the airport our team will pick you up and take you to your hotel for the day. Moreover, On the evening of the day, we will plan a small talk session with our team members, guides, experts as final preparation for your trek.

Max Altitude: 1,400m/4,5938ft.

Day 2 starts when in the early morning you will be taking a short yet exciting flight from Kathmandu to Lukla for about 35 minutes of air time. We will see mountains, green hills, and forest villages along the flight time to lukla. Moreover, as we land on Lukla, in Lukla we will meet our porters and we will have tea or coffee break before we start the trek. This day will be an easy one where we will be walking alongside the Dudh Koshi river. The first day is easier compared to other days.

Max Altitude: 2,800m/9184ft (Lukla) & 2,652m/8,698ft (Phakding) Distance: 8km (3-4 hours)

The actual trek starts from this point where it starts to get a little challenging. However, we continue to move alongside the Dudh Koshi river for this day also. We trek through a flat surface at the beginning of the day, but as the hours get deep, our trail starts to get more challenging. The long yet beautiful hike beside the Dudh Koshi river will help us enter the great Sagarmatha National Park. This is when we will be experiencing the beauty of the park alongside the flora and faunas of this park. In addition, we will also be reaching the suspension Hillary bridge. As we come toward the end of the day we tend to give the last hike to Namche bazaar for around 2:30 hrs. on a steep hill. When we finally reach Namche Bazaar, we get the first glance of the Mighty Everest at a distance.

Max Altitude: 3,440m/11,283ft Distance: 10-12km (5-6 hours)

Trekking is surely a fun thing to do. But often fun things also can be challenging. While trekking, one of the greatest challenges that people tend to face is altitude sickness. While trekking, acclimatization is one of the most essential things that must be considered for a successful and safe journey ahead. For you to adapt to this new environment and altitude we tend to take a day’s rest at Namche Bazaar. But we won’t be giving up a day on our already short trip. Instead, we will be finding alternatives to redeem this to the fullest.

You could keep yourself occupied for most of the day by hiking to interesting places in this area. Places like Khumjung or a two-hour hike to Everest View Hotel would be a great way to acclimatize and enjoy the day. Moreover, Namche bazaar being the last shopping destination you could also buy some supplies in this area. Thus, another great thing to do is to visit the Tenzing Norgay Memorial to pay respect., as he was the first person to summit Mount Everest along with Sir Edmund Hillary on 29 May 1953.

Max Altitude: 3,440m/11,283ft.

The luxurious trip to Namche Bazaar has now come to an end and we enter the more intense part of this 14-day trip. The day begins with an early morning trek on a flat surface and a bit of uphill until we reach kyangjuma. The intense hours of the day will bring up challenging paths and test us to our limits. There is also a bit of downhill where we tend to cross a suspension bridge.

Moreover, at the end of the day, we tend to do a hard climb of about 2:30 hrs. to reach Tengboche. Moreover, during this day we will be enjoying many things, the glorious view of the great Himalayan range you used to listen about is now in front of your eyes.

Max Altitude: 3,880/12,729ft Distance: 9.2 km (5-6 hours)

Everest trip tour and travel was by no means an easy trip. Therefore, we tend to face another hard day. The trail from Tengboche to Dingboche is a mixture of a little downhill and a whole load of uphill. At the beginning of the day, we tend to walk on a flat and downhill surface. But similarly, to the other days, once we get into the intense hour of the day, we tend to face more challenging and uphill paths.

The day begins as we move alongside the Imja Khola and its trail. This trail of this beautiful river takes us to Pangboche village. In addition, this village is known as the biggest settlement of Sherpas at this altitude and in the Khumbu region. Moreover, we take a small break there and continue to hike up to Dingboche for the day. At the end of the day, before reaching Dingboche, we tend to pass a Landslide area, cautiously and carefully. Moreover, when reaching Dingboche, the first thing you get to see is the mesmerizing view of the great Mount Amadablam. This sight wraps our day when we spend the night there.

Max Altitude: 4,200/13,779ft Distance: 9 km (5-6 hours)

When going on a trek of about 14 days which is quite long and an altitude of such height, we can’t risk enough so we will be getting a second day of acclimatization in Dingboche. For your safety and well being this is essential. This makes your body prepared for the upcoming altitude and environment.

However, similarly, as the last acclimatization day, we won’t be letting yet another day go to waste. Therefore, there are a lot of things that you could do to make this day yet another beautiful one. Moreover, activities such as visiting stupas and trekking to Chhukung village(4730m) would be another great destination to make this day a success. Therefore, another hike to the base camp of Nangkar Tshanf peak(5083) would be another great way to spend the day, However, we get back by the evening, returning to Dingboche and spending the night there.

Getting a full day of rest, we tend to start this day on a high note. We begin early in the day with an easy hike up to Thukla. Which will be our lunch destination for the day. After a short break and catching our breath, we move on with our stertorous trek.

Therefore, this is when the hard part of the trek starts. Moreover, we tend to climb for about 1:30 hrs. which will take us to the high hills. Moreover, this is where there are the Sherpas memorial climbers where tributes are paid to the lost souls of the brave Sherpas who have lost their life trekking and hiking throughout the years. After paying tribute to the lost souls we reach Lobuche where we will be spending the night.

Max Altitude: 4,900m/16,076ft Distance: 11-12 km (5-6 hours)

Finally, the hard work of all these days provides you with a reward. This is the day when we will be reaching the Everest Base Camp. Beginning our trek from the last stopping point is Lobuche, we take a start trail up to Gorakshep. This trail to Gorakshep will be quite a rough one for around 3 hrs. After reaching Gorakshep, we then take a small break for Lunch. After lunch, we then continue to ascent the rocky trail and high glacier path.

These paths are dangerous yet fun at the same time. Moreover, after this challenge, you will be finally reaching the Everest Base Camp. Where you must be ready to capture the most amazing experience of your life. taking a breath full of pride you then look at the glorious Everest and the scenic view around it. After certain hours spent in the Base Camp we tend to return back to Gorakshep, we tend to spend the night there.

Max Altitude: 5180m/16,994ft (Gorakshep) & 5364m/17598 (EBC) Distance: 15km (6-8 hours)

We reached Everest but are not still able to get an amazing close-up view of it. Therefore, for this very purpose, we tend to reach Kalapatthar. Early morning at around 4:30 am we start our day with a hike to Kala Patthar. We start climbing from Gorakshep to Kala Patthar for the most mesmerizing view of Everest. After a climb of about 3 hours, we will be reaching Kala Patthar.

Moreover, here we will be getting amazing views of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Changtse, and Lhotse shining brightly through the rays of the sun. In addition, after these scenic views, we say goodbye to the base camp and then continue our descent retailing back from Gorakshep. However, we descend all the way to Pheriche and will spend the night there.

Max Altitude: 5,545m/18,192ft(Kalapathar)&4,320m/14,173ft(Pheriche) Distance: 12-13km (7 hours)

On this day we will be descending a massive amount of altitude in a single day. Beginning our day from Pheriche we start with a 20 min climb for us to reach Tengboche. Therefore, after such a descent we take a lunch break here. After a short time of rest, continuing our descent we will be crossing the Dudh Koshi river.

In addition, for about a trek of almost 1:30 hrs. which will be full of uphill and downhills, we will finally reach Namche Bazaar. you will finally be getting a good comfortable sleep in weeks.

Max Altitude: 3,440m/11,284ft Distance: 13-15km (8 hours)

Yet another day we will be spending most of the time descending. The day starts with more natural phenomena than usual. We descend all the way to Hilary suspension bridge from Namche Bazaar where we will be passing through a clearing magical forest of pine trees. Therefore, this path leads up to the lookup, where we will be following the path of the Dudh Koshi river.

Moreover, we will pass many small villages and dense forests for one last time. As we are near to Lukla, we say a goodbye to the great Sagarmatha Everest National park for giving us this wonderful experience. Many people are still trying to trek this land, whereas you stand proud to conquer it.
