Enjoy the charming Sherpa villages we will pass through. Between the villages are lush forests of pines watered by the gushing Dudh Koshi river. Throughout the trek, it is possible to observe the different angles of the famous snow-covered mountains from different locations. Upon reaching Chheplung village (2660 meters), Mt. Khumbu-Yul-Iha (5761m) will rise before you. This is a revered peak by the local Sherpas and is believed to be the home of the God of Khumbu. Mt. Khumbu-Yul-Iha provides a constant stream of life-giving freshwater to the villages of Khumjung and Khunde

After having lunch at Thado Koshi, it’s an hour’s walk to reach Ghat village, where you can observe the beautiful mani stone carving work (Buddhist stone carving). Upon reaching Phakding, you can relax after your first day of trekking.

Today you will be trekking all the way up to Namche Bazaar (3440 meters), the journey taking around 6-7 hours. It’s a full day trek, rewarding your efforts by passing through the majestic forests containing fir trees and rhododendrons (blooms during spring), along with crossing 6 suspension bridges and amazing waterfalls. Each bend in the trail will reveal new and interesting sights to see.

After an hour walk from Phakding, you will be able to see the spectacular Thamserku peak (6608 meters). At Monjo, the trek enters Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park, which covers approximately 1200 square kilometers of the Khumbu region. The park has also been declared in 1979 a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After 3 hours of walking, lunch will be taken at the base of  Mt. Jorsalle, from where a climb of 600 meters awaits to reach Namche Bazaar. The first glimpse of Mt. Everest (8848 meters), Nuptse (7861 meters) and Lhotse (8414 meters) are generally seen upon reaching Top Hill. From this point, Namche is 2 hours walk. Upon reaching Namche, trekkers can enjoy this vibrant village which features numerous restaurants, bakeries, shops, and hotels. This village is more like a small city and is the capital of the Sherpa people. You will definitely enjoy the culture of these hospitable mountain people.

The climb from Namche Bazaar to Hotel Everest View (3880 meters) will take around 2 hours  (3 hours if you take a slight detour and visit the National Park Museum. This museum provides interesting information in regards to the Himalayas, the traditional ways of the Sherpas, and the surrounding flora and fauna.) Visitors can also take excellent pictures at the View Point (near the Nepal Army camp) with the alluring snow-capped mountains in the background.

The path leading to the hotel is a charming walk across a hill. It may even be possible to spot yaks grazing nearby, or a Himalayan Tahr (wild goat) balancing perfectly on the cliffs. You cannot see the hotel until you are almost there as it is hidden behind a ridge, surrounded by tall fir trees. Once you have reached Hotel Everest View, you will be served a refreshing glass of hot lemon with honey, which you can enjoy with the spectacular view of the Everest range. Relax for the day at Hotel Everest View or go on a day trip to nearby attractions.
