Our second day is for a sightseeing tour to several of the cultural UNESCO world heritage sites of Kathmandu city. An expert city guide will guide us to sacred Hindu temples, Buddhist shrines and historical monuments as you become acquainted with Nepalese culture and traditions. Swayambhunath, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath temple, Boudhanath stupa and their extreme art and architecture are our center of attraction. Thereafter, Trekking Mart will organize a trek orientation program and also assist you on trekking preparation (equipment’s packing, etc).  

Early morning about 3 am leave Kathmandu with pack breakfast, you’ll then be transferred to Ramechap airport to fly to Lukla. This is 3 hours drive and 20-minute scenic flight over the striking Himalayan mountain ranges, landscapes and quintessential villages. At Lukla you’ll meet all crew members and begin the trek northward to Phakding village. 

Today's trek will take about 5-6 hours starting with a walk through pine forests along the Dudh Koshi River and crossing over a series of suspension bridges. After a steep climb over Chhutara, we’ll get to see the first view of Mt. Everest (8,848m) over the Lhotse-Nuptse ridge. We’ll finally reach Namche Bazaar for an overnight rest. 

This is essentially a day of rest at Namche in order to acclimatize our bodies with such elevation. You will have the opportunity to hike to Khumjung village (3,786m) and explore monasteries and local Sherpa villages. Namche itself is a famous town with some modern facilities. Enjoy your visit around, you’ll then stay overnight. 

Following breakfast, we’ll start trekking towards the village of Tengboche. Today you’ll experience the amazing sights of several peaks including Mt. Everest (8,848m), Thamserku (6,623m), Ama Dablam (6,812m), Lhotse (8,516m), Nuptse (7,861m) to name just a few. Whilst passing through forests, you’re likely to encounter extraordinary wildlife. 

A morning hike will give you the opportunity to take some fantastic pictures of the Tengboche monastery. The trek then offers great views on the way to Pangboche village whilst passing chhortens and Mani walls. Lunch will then take place overlooking Mt. Ama Dablam. The afternoon trek is less demanding as we enter the Imja Valley. Finally, we’ll ascend the steep path before reaching Dingboche village (4,360m) where we’ll stay the night. 

Today is our second day of rest. Simply relish and relax in a place of such natural beauty for the day or take a short climb to the top of the ridge and admire three of the six highest peaks in the world including Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyo. Stay overnight. 

Trek along the arid terrace with outstanding views of the surrounding valleys and Mt. Pumori (7,138m). The trail descends and crosses a fast-flowing stream on a wooden bridge. We will then stop at Duglha for lunch. After a short rest we’ll then climb over the steep terminal moraine of Khumbu Glacier. Passing prayer flags and stones raised in memory of those who have died climbing, we will be reminded of the sheer scale and extremity of Mt Everest. We’ll stay the night in Lobuche.
