    My best Trek!

    Thank you Oriental Journeys, Machhindra and Aneel for managing great trip for us. We are very lucky in a way that we did not research about the package and picked this trek that is friendly with our budget. The trek far exceeded our expectations! Everything was going very smoothly. I really loved when I was in Kala Pathar. It's really stunning place. The flight are all time scenic from Kala Pathar to Lukla. I would definately recommend Oriental Journeys !

    Amazing Trek to EBC

    Really a Fantastic trek in the Everest base camp. I and my husband was overwhelmed by the scenery on the planet. During the trek, we stayed in the teahouse lodge and also observe the beautiful Sherpa culture and their great hospitality. Our guide did everything possible to get us to EBC and back in reduced time after our flight to Lukla had been delayed by the couple of days. We enjoyed a lot when we get back to Lukla via helicopter with a beautiful  scene of the Himalayas. Even the operator Machhindra did frequent contact with us when we were stocked in Lukla. He is very kind and gentle. We definitely recommend Oriental Journeys for their professional services and will plan to come back Nepal with same operator.

    Flights to and from Lukla will be operated from Ramechhap airport due to congestion at Kathmandu airport during the peak trekking season (spring-March and April; autumn-October and November). Kathmandu is 132 kilometers away from the airport. As a result, we’ll leave early in the morning for Ramechhap to board aircraft to Lukla.

    Today is a rest day that will mostly be used for acclimatization. As a result, we spent the day getting used to the thinner air. Apart from that, Namche offers a diverse range of activities. In Namche, a walk to the Namche Museum is a must-do activity. Namche is a popular tourist destination. It is a popular commercial segment among Tibetians and local Sherpas. It provides an amazing view of a high top from the Everest View Hotel. The hotel is located at the highest point in the area. To make the rest day more intriguing, climb up to Syanboche (3780), where you will be treated to a breathtaking panorama of Namche Bazar. With only one cup of tea or coffee in Namche, your day gets brighter.

Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Amadablam, and others. Another highlight of the walk is Tengboche monastery, also known as the Dawa Choling monastery, which is the largest monastery in the Khumbu area. It is looking for a picturesque feature that would draw people to it. The beautiful prayer flags that adorn the monastery exude an artistic mood. For the Sherpa people that live in the area, a monastery is a sacred spot. For tourists, the entire panorama of Tengboche is a magnificent sight.

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

You can feel the beautiful spirit all around you as you pass by the gorgeous monasteries and pilgrimages. You may see the carved holy mani walls all around you as you go from Tengboche to Dingboche. Apart from that, Dingboche’s beautiful agricultural fields have earned it the moniker Summer Valley, and the trek’s enormous stone walls are another attraction. They’re built to keep crops and grazing animals safe from the region’s harsh winds. For the night, I’ll be staying in a hotel in Dingboche.

    Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

     

    07

    Day 07: Another Acclimatization day

    The next acclimatization rest day has been meticulously arranged. This acclimatization will help you prepare for the high-altitude climb the next day. The stunning views of the mountains around Dingboche entice visitors. Aside from that, the thick foliage surrounds the gorgeous summer valley. Crops grown in this area include potatoes, buckwheat, and barley. Besides that, Dingboche is recognized for offering a path for hikers and mountaineers to reach Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam, and Imja Tse’s bleak peaks. The towering stone walls designed to protect the crops capture the visitor’s attention.

    In addition, you may hike up to Nagarjuna’s hill. From the top of the hill, you can glimpse the mountains’ seductive splendor. You may also hike to Nangar Dzong. It’s a Buddhist pilgrimage destination from the past. During the acclimatization day, you may also easily hike the mountain Dolma Ri on foot.

    Day 08: Trek to Lobuche (4390m) - 7km- 6 hours

    We resume our climb to EBC after an energetic respite in Dingboche. The paths take us higher, and as we approach the snow-capped peaks of Cholatse and Tawache, the environment becomes more secluded than the lower. The hike provides a spectacular perspective of the snow-capped peak. Aside from that, we’ll see the dawn from the summits of Mt. Nuptse and Mt. Pumori, as well as Khumutse, Mahalangur Himal, and Lingtren. As you near the end of the valley and Lobuche, the journey gets simpler and more pleasant. Staying in a hotel in Lobuche for the night.

    The golden rays of the sun will greet you as you begin your day over the mountains. With the rising sun’s rays, both the valley and the Himalayas glow golden. Despite the fact that the path is hazy owing to the fog, we don’t get lost thanks to the competent Sherpas’ direction. Our trip gets increasingly strenuous as a result of the windy weather and thin air. Our tenacity and determination to attain EBC, on the other hand, motivate us to keep going. The Khumbu Glacier, which stretches for 2.5 kilometers, is a sight to behold on the road to EBC. You will reach Gorak Shep, where you may stop for a bit, as you travel beside the Khumbu Glacier. The small community and a modest number of lodges extend a warm welcome to all visitors.

    After a brief break at Gorak Shep, we will resume our climb. You will reach Everest base camp if you carry trekking down the Khumbu Glacier. The vast landscape of the magnificent mountains, as well as the colorful camps, are worthy of photographic capture. Furthermore, the contrast between the colors of the camp and the grey soil of the region will astound you. You may photograph the Everest base camp’s awe-inspiring moments.

    After wandering around the base camp, we’re on our way back to Gorak Shep.

    We’ll be on our walk today, despite the bitter cold and brisk wind. We’ll hike to Black Rock, commonly known as Kala Patthar. Everyone can hike up to Kalapatthar, although the route is difficult. Additionally, we must acclimate to the Kala Patthar’s weather, since the air grows thinner as we ascend. The clear view of Mount Everest and other peaks like Lingtren, Khubutse, Lhotse, and Nuptse adds to Kala Patthar’s allure. You are rewarded with a wonderful view of the dawn and mountain peaks, in addition to the strenuous trip. You may take photographs of the beautiful scenery.

    We’ll return to Gorak Shep after your walk up to Kala Patthar. From here, we’ll take a helicopter to Lukla.

Everest, Ama Dablam, and Imja Tse’s bleak peaks. The towering stone walls designed to protect the crops capture the visitor’s attention.

    In addition, you may hike up to Nagarjuna’s hill. From the top of the hill, you can glimpse the mountains’ seductive splendor. You may also hike to Nangar Dzong. It’s a Buddhist pilgrimage destination from the past. During the acclimatization day, you may also easily hike the mountain Dolma Ri on foot. As a result, we will spend the night in Dingboche, a beautiful settlement.

    Day 08: Trek to Lobuche (4390m) - 7km- 6 hours

    We resume our climb to EBC after an energetic respite in Dingboche. The paths take us higher, and as we approach the snow-capped peaks of Cholatse and Tawache, the environment becomes more secluded than the lower. The hike provides a spectacular perspective of the snow-capped peak. Aside from that, we’ll see the dawn from the summits of Mt. Nuptse and Mt. Pumori, as well as Khumutse, Mahalangur Himal, and Lingtren. As you near the end of the valley and Lobuche, the journey gets simpler and more pleasant. Staying in a hotel in Lobuche for the night.

    Day 09: Trek to Gorakshep (5170m) and EBC (5364m) 13 km distance- 8 hours

    The golden rays of the sun will greet you as you begin your day over the mountains. With the rising sun’s rays, both the valley and the Himalayas glow golden. Despite the fact that the path is hazy owing to the fog, we don’t get lost thanks to the competent Sherpas’ direction. Our trip gets increasingly strenuous as a result of the windy weather and thin air. Our tenacity and determination to attain EBC, on the other hand, motivate us to keep going. The Khumbu Glacier, which stretches for 2.5 kilometers, is a sight to behold on the road to EBC. You will reach Gorak Shep, where you may stop for a bit, as you travel beside the Khumbu Glacier. The small community and a modest number of lodges extend a warm welcome to all visitors.

    After a brief break at Gorak Shep, we will resume our climb. You will reach Everest base camp if you carry trekking down the Khumbu Glacier. The vast landscape of the magnificent mountains, as well as the colorful camps, are worthy of photographic capture. Furthermore, the contrast between the colors of the camp and the grey soil of the region will astound you. You may photograph the Everest base camp’s awe-inspiring moments.

    After wandering around the base camp, we’re on our way back to Gorak Shep.

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

    We’ll be on our walk today, despite the bitter cold and brisk wind. We’ll hike to Black Rock, commonly known as Kala Patthar. Everyone can hike up to Kalapatthar, although the route is difficult. Additionally, we must acclimate to the Kala Patthar’s weather, since the air grows thinner as we ascend. The clear view of Mount Everest and other peaks like Lingtren, Khubutse, Lhotse, and Nuptse adds to Kala Patthar’s allure. You are rewarded with a wonderful view of the dawn and mountain peaks, in addition to the strenuous trip. You may take photographs of the beautiful scenery.

    We’ll return to Gorak Shep after your walk up to Kala Patthar. From here, we’ll take a helicopter to Lukla. You’ll be floating over the sky above the mountains, seeing all the flashbacks from your voyage below you. Furthermore, from the air, you will be able to see the routes you hiked, the exhausting journey, glacial rivers, and your wonderful recollections of the Everest base camp.

    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

     

    Day 11: Fly back to Ramechhap and drive to Kathmandu

    We’ll fly back to Ramechhap’s Manthali Airport after breakfast, as usual. Then, from Ramechhap, we’ll catch a bus back to Kathmandu. After a long and exhausting travel, you may relax. You might use the remaining time to take a short excursion to a nearby location in Kathmandu and buy a Nepalese souvenir for your buddy.

    Meals: Breakfast

     

    Day 12 : Fly back home

    Today is a day of farewell. You’ll say your goodbyes to Nepal and return to your hometown. Tribhuvan International Airport is where you will board your journey. One of our staff will drive you to the airport two hours before your trip.

    My best Trek!

    Thank you Oriental Journeys, Machhindra and Aneel for managing great trip for us. We are very lucky in a way that we did not research about the package and picked this trek that is friendly with our budget. The trek far exceeded our expectations! Everything was going very smoothly. I really loved when I was in Kala Pathar. It's really stunning place. The flight are all time scenic from Kala Pathar to Lukla. I would definately recommend Oriental Journeys !

    Amazing Trek to EBC

    Really a Fantastic trek in the Everest base camp. I and my husband was overwhelmed by the scenery on the planet. During the trek, we stayed in the teahouse lodge and also observe the beautiful Sherpa culture and their great hospitality. Our guide did everything possible to get us to EBC and back in reduced time after our flight to Lukla had been delayed by the couple of days. We enjoyed a lot when we get back to Lukla via helicopter with a beautiful  scene of the Himalayas. Even the operator Machhindra did frequent contact with us when we were stocked in Lukla. He is very kind and gentle. We definitely recommend Oriental Journeys for their professional services and will plan to come back Nepal with same operator.

    I along with my family choose Everest Base Camp trek and fly back by Helicopter tour with Oriental Journeys. The services were awesome. We reached up to Kalapathar and the view was just awesome. From Kalapathar, we flew back to Lukla. Our guide Layu did fantastic job. He took care of my whole family including my children too. We definitely recommend Oriental Journeys for anyone going to Nepal.
