Day by day
Your guide meets you at the airport and drives you to the hotel. Rest until the evening. At 17:00 the guide checks your gear against the list; over dinner we meet and walk through the plan.
A guided city tour: Durbar Square, Swayambhunath with its view over the valley, Boudhanath — one of the largest stupas in the world — and Pashupatinath if you wish. In the afternoon, Thamel: buy or rent what the gear check showed is missing. Briefing for the mountain flight over dinner.
An early flight to Lukla (~35 min; timing depends on weather, and in peak months flights may leave from Ramechhap). Then a slow first trek to Phakding, mostly downhill: bridges over the Dudh Koshi, prayer wheels, mani walls, a view of sacred Khumbila. A porter carries your duffel (up to 15 kg); you carry a daypack.
The longest trekking day. Sagarmatha National Park entry at Monjo, a photo stop at Hillary Bridge, lunch on the trail, then the steep climb to Namche, where Everest first shows itself in clear weather. The guide checks on everyone every 30 minutes; in the evening we measure oxygen saturation.
An early, slow climb to Hotel Everest View for breakfast facing Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam. We sleep back in Namche — climb high, sleep low. In the afternoon: Sherpa museum and a massage; in the evening a grill dinner cooked together with the team.
A flight over the turquoise Gokyo lakes: Everest, Lhotse, Cho Oyu and the Ngozumpa glacier from the air. Then Lukla and the morning flight to Kathmandu, dinner in town.
Free day: Thamel, spa, souvenirs. If the weather affects Day 6, its program moves to this day. In the evening — a farewell dinner with a Nepali set menu, songs and dances.
Breakfast, check-out and an airport transfer for your flight (3 hours before international departure).
