The trek to the Khumbu region remains, in our opinion, the greatest mountain walk on earth. The most spectacular mountain scenery in the world is before you each day of this trek. Besides Everest you will become familiar with other Himalayan giants: Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, Lobuche Peak, Nuptse and Lhotse. You will have a unique opportunity to absorb the ancient and colorful scenes of a Himalayan trading culture. The Everest region of Nepal, known as the Khumbu, is a crossroads of times and cultures.

In the Khumbu the human history of exploration and discovery is still fresh. We set out on a magnificent 9-day trek through the ancient Sherpa villages cradled below Chomolungma, Mother Goddess of the Snows, culminating in our visit to thriving Tengboche Monastery, heart of the Khumbu, from which Everest’s triangular diamond summit is unmistakable amid a cirque of breathtaking peaks. Much of the joy of this spectacular trek is getting to know the Sherpa people, visiting Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and lively trailside teahouses, sipping homemade chang (beer made from barley) with new-found friends, and learning how Tibetan Buddhism influences every aspect of Sherpa life. This is truly a pilgrimage that any lover of the mountain world and mountain cultures will consider the opportunity of a lifetime.

Intinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Kathmandu Nepal and transfer to hotel

Most international flights arrive in Kathmandu by afternoon on day one. Our guide will meet you outside the custom area at the airport. He / she will answer questions and brief you about the immediate arrangements. The trip leader will hold a short briefing in the hotel regarding trek arrangement and general orientation.

 

Day 2: Sightseeing in Kathmandu

Kathmandu is one of three former medieval city-states in the valley, along with Bhakatapur and Patan, which have preserved their ancient character. It does a wonderful job of displaying Nepalese town life. A highlight is Durbar Square with its many temples, remains of an ancient palace, and intricate Sun Dhoka (Golden Gate), a gilded copper gate crafted in 1753. You can visit many interesting shrines, temples and museums.

Day 3: Phakding - 8,700 feet
We fly on a twin-engine Otter to the Himalayan foothills where we begin our trek into the Khumbu region. The sights from the plane are amazing, providing dramatic views of terraced hills and the best panoramic view of the Himalayan range. After landing in the village of Lukla (9,350 feet), we meet the rest of our Sherpa staff and porters and trek for about three hours to Phakding.  (3 hours hiking).

Day 4: Trek to Namche Bazaar - 11,270 feet
Follow the forested trail north up the Dudh Kosi valley to Jorsale, where you officially enter Sagarmatha (Mount Everest) National Park, established in 1976 as the first national park in the Himalayas, to help protect an area of great environmental, religious, and cultural importance. You then continue along the trail and begin the steep climb up Namche Hill. As you climb the steep hillside, you‘ll catch your first glimpse of Everest and the snowcapped panorama of Himalayan giants to come. Namche Bazaar is a very beautiful and famous Sherpa village in Khumbu region; the local center for trading and supplies. The town—numerous homes, trekker's lodges, shops, and a Buddhist monastery—is beautifully situated in a terraced amphitheater facing the hanging glacier below Kwangde (20,293'). You will camp in Namche Bazaar. (5-6 hours hiking.)

Day 5: Rest day at  Namche Bazaar
A rest day in Namche Bazaar for acclimatization. There are many things you can do to enjoy this day: you can hike up above Namche to the Sagarmatha National Park Visitor's Center and Museum where there are terrific views of the Everest region and numerous educational displays on the culture, geography, geology, climatology, and wildlife within the park and the Khumbu. It is also possible to take an optional hike during the day around the hillside.

Day 6: Thame - 12,500 feet
From Namche Bazaar, take a half-day hike on the moderately easy and pleasant trail along the Bhote Kosi to reach the remote village of Thame (12,500'), last outpost on the ancient trading route over the Nangpa La (pass) between Tibet and Nepal. Also, this village is the home town of the most famous Sherpa climber on Mt. Everest. After crossing the Bhote Kosi, the trail continues steeply uphill to Thame. (4½ hours hiking.)

Day 7: Shayngbouche, Everest view hotel - 12,475 feet
In the morning, visit the Thame Monastery (13,000') before returning down the Bhote Kosi valley almost all the way back to Namche Bazaar. Turn and hike upward over a ridge to Khumjung (12,475'), a large and beautifully situated village with great mountain views, especially of the peak of Ama Dablam (22,494'). Along the trail you may visit the school founded by Sir Edmund Hillary. From this point we climb gradually uphill to reach Everest view hotel at Shayngbuche. This hotel is one of the best hotels at the highest elevation in the world, and a place where you can enjoy the view of Everest while laying on your bed. (5-6 hours hiking.)

Day 8: Phortse - 12,900 feet
Hike through rhododendron forests and along a beautiful trail with sweeping views of Ama Dablam and Thamserku. Drop to the river at 11,800' and climb back up through red birch and rhododendron to the unspoiled village of Phortse (12,900'). Many potato farmers live in this village. (5-6 hours hike).

Day 9: Trek to Tengboche Monastery - 12,680 feet
Today’s hike is along one of the most spectacular trails in the Khumbu. You’ll hike along a narrow, somewhat exposed trail with the best views of Ama Dablam. Continue the trek on a slightly down hill trail reaching the camp at Tengbuche (12,680).  The head lama (Rimpoche) of the monastery resides here and the area is considered holy; nothing may be hunted or killed. Expeditions to the world’s highest peaks have traditionally stopped here to receive the blessing of the high lama. You will camp overnight near the monastery and have ample time to visit it. We will also try to meet with the Rimpoche and get a blessing if he is available. (6½-7 hours hiking.)

Day 10: Monjo
Trek to Monjo via Namche Bazaar, rejoining the earlier route and descending to the camp site. You will enjoy one of the most panoramic walks in all Nepal. Views of Ama Dablam and Thamserku dominate today’s scenery. (6-7 hours hiking.)

Arrival & Departure Information

Arrive in Kathmandu before 2:00 pm on Day 1. Sherpa Mountain Travel will meet you outside the customs area and immigration area at the airport. Your guide will answer any questions you might have and brief you about the immediate arrangements. The trip leader will hold a short briefing at the hotel regarding the trek arrangement and general orientation.
Note—Some flights from the U.S. require one to three (1-3) days of travel (since you lose a day due to time difference) and overnight en route. More specific details will be sent to you in your pre-trip packet of information.

Air Travel

International Airfare is not included in the land cost of our trips. For air reservations, we can book for you in order to get a group rate. When booking a flight using “frequent flyer” miles, you may need to book your own flight. Please check with our staff before purchasing or obtaining your tickets, so we may verify your arrival and departure schedule.

Activity Levels

Sherpa Mountain Travel trips are designed for flexible, energetic people who like to be active, have a spirit of adventure, and a positive attitude. You should be an experienced hiker in good physical condition. Trekking in Nepal is for active people who enjoy walking, even up or down steep hills (there is very little level walking in Nepal). We expect you to have some recent hiking experience and be in good health. All gear and camp supplies will be carried by porters or pack animals, leaving you free to carry only a light daypack.

back to top

We will spend a considerable amount of time at altitudes above 11,000 feet, which can make the hiking strenuous. Exercise at high altitude compounds the physiologic stress. High altitude can sometimes create discomfort and symptoms of illness that you do not experience while exercising at low elevations, such as shortness of breath, restlessness or sleeplessness at night, and headaches. The guide will have the final decision on any adjustment in the itinerary for individual health interest of all trekkers.

We recommend that you start a moderate training program several months before departure, then slowly build up to a more strenuous level. Regular aerobic exercise for at least one hour 4-5 times a week is good. This may include; aerobic fitness classes, power walking, jogging, cycling on hills, swimming, and cross-country skiing; especially at high altitudes. Since training is highly sport-specific, include some hiking or running in your program. Additionally, you must be able to sustain exercise for prolonged periods.

Consult your physician if you have questions concerning your underlying health. We can help answer questions for you or your physician concerning required levels of fitness and health conditions at altitude. If you have concerns about your ability to do this trek, we can suggest appropriate alternatives.

Life on a Camping Trek

The days typically start at 6:30 a.m. with the appearance of smiling Sherpas at the door of your tent bearing a mug of steaming tea. This is soon followed by a large bowl of hot water for washing. Then it’s time to pack your bags and sit down to a hearty breakfast of porridge, eggs, and toast. By 7:30 or 8:00 you’re off on the trail.
For about three hours you’ll walk through villages, forests, and up and down green hills and valleys. There’s plenty of time to visit local teashops, stop for a view or a photo, and exchange a smile or greeting (Namaste!) with the friendly Nepali people who share the trail. A trailside lunch breaks up the day, giving you time to rest and refuel with a substantial hot meal prepared by the staff. After about an hour of eating, napping, and relaxing, it’s time for the afternoon hike.

You arrive in camp by 4:00 p.m. with time to wash up and get settled in your tent before enjoying tea and snacks in the dining tent. The next two hours before dinner are free to write in your journal, read a few pages in a novel, play cards, engage in conversation, or simply relax. The day closes with a hearty multi-course dinner, which often includes ethnic cuisine as well as American favorites (we like the yak cheese pizzas and momos—Tibetan dumplings). After dinner you can gaze at the stars and the moonlit peaks, recount the events of the day, or retire to your tent to read for a while or drift off to sleep.
