Breakfast in the hotel is followed by a sightseeing tour to some of the cultural heritage of Kathmandu. Kathmandu valley consists of seven monuments which are recognized by UNESCO. A professional city guide will recite the stories behind these destinations. Thereafter, take some time to look for equipment and do preparation. 

After breakfast, transfer to Kathmandu airport for an early morning flight to Lukla valley (2,840 meters). It is a 40 minutes short scenic flight over Himalayan ranges of eastern Nepal. Meet all the crew members at Lukla airport and start walking uphill towards the village of Phakding. We’ll stay in a local lodge there.

Today, we’ll trek back to Lukla valley. It’ll be an easy downhill walk through forests and terraces. The imposing mountains still seem smiling at us. Lukla is a prosperous mountain village with little modern facilities. Roam around and stay overnight. 

We catch the morning flight and fly back to Kathmandu. You can rest and relax throughout the day in your hotel or go for some shopping. Overnight in Kathmandu hotel. 

Notice: Kathmandu-Lukla-Kathmandu flights often get delayed by a few hours or canceled for one, two, or more days due to unfavorable weather conditions. In such cases, you must be prepared for long waits both at Kathmandu or Lukla airports, as this can happen either at the start or end of the trek or even both! Still, we suggest you are prepared for possible delays/cancellation. We can also arrange a Helicopter rescue in such conditions, upon request. The helicopter charges around US$ 4000 and it can lift 4-5 persons.

At about 3 hours prior to your flight time, transfer you to the airport to fly your onward destination. Trekking Mart family wishes your best time ahead.
