Trek to Namche Bazaar (3440 meters)

Irish Pub - After breakfast, the trek begins with a gentle walk to Monjo, a picturesque Sherpa village. Here, you will officially enter the Sagarmatha National Park, where permits (SNP entry permit and TIMS card) must be shown at the Monjo office. The trek to Namche Bazaar involves a challenging uphill climb of about 590m, taking approximately 5 hours. Midway, you will catch your first glimpse of Everest and Lhotse. As you near Namche Bazaar, the peaks of Thamserku (6,648m) and Kwangde (6,224m) are visible to the East, while the sacred mountain Khumbila (5,707m) is to the West.

As the gateway to the Khumbu region, Namche Bazaar, at an altitude of 3440 meters, is renowned for its bakeries and local market (haat bazaar) held every Saturday. Nestled in a steep mountain bowl with stunning views of the high Himalayas on either side, the town offers restaurants, shops, banks, and currency exchange. Surprisingly, even in this remote location, cyber cafes and pool halls are available.

Acclimatization at Namche Bazaar

Irish Pub - It is essential to ascend to higher altitudes during the two-day stay in Namche Bazaar. Options include trekking to Khumjung to visit the local school and hospital, or to Thame village, home to Sherpa Everest climbers and the legendary Everest Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, or to the airstrip at Shyanboche (3720m). Above the airstrip is the Everest View Hotel, established by the Japanese to attract affluent tourists for a prime view of Everest. However, the hotel’s altitude of nearly 4000m led to many guests experiencing altitude sickness.

Trek to Tyangboche (3870 meters)

Tengboche Monastery - The day starts with a brief 10-minute ascent, followed by a descent to the Dudh Koshi at 3550m, before climbing to Tyangboche at 3870 meters. The views of Everest, Thamserku, Amadablam, and the valley are breathtaking. At 3870 meters, Tyangboche is a delightful spot centered around the main Tibetan monastery in the region, where you can listen to monks chanting their mantras. The views of Lhotse, Everest, and Amadablam are unforgettable.

Trek to Dingboche (4410 meters)

Dingboche - Chhukhung Path 7 - The journey continues through wooded forests and along the Imja Khola valley. The views become increasingly impressive as the high Himalayas surround you. The path gradually leads to Pangboche, an intriguing gompa site above the main village, which is the oldest monastery in the region, dating back to the introduction of Buddhism to Khumbu. The trek then ascends to Dingboche at 4360 meters, offering breathtaking views of Amadablam and Island Peak.

Acclimatization at Dingboche

Dingboche - Chhukhung Path 7 - Another day for acclimatization is planned. You can explore another beautiful part of the Khumbu region, Chhukung, which offers magnificent views of Mt. Makalu, Island Peak, Peak 38, etc. Alternatively, a hike to Nangkartshang Peak is also an option.

Trek to Lobuche (4950 meters)

Lobuche - The valley becomes barren as the trek continues towards Lobuche, but the focus remains on the snow-capped peaks towering above. The path joins the trail below Thugla, offering stunning views of Cholatse (6442m) across the valley. The path can be rocky in places, so caution is advised. After another steep ascent, Tawache and Nuptse are particularly spectacular from Lobuche, rising almost 2 kilometers directly overhead.

Trek to Everest Base Camp (5360 meters) and return to Gorakhshep (5160 meters)

Everest Camp II - The trek towards Everest follows the Khumbu Glacier, reaching the small village of Gorakhshep for lunch. Afterward, the trail leads to the Mt. Everest base camp at an altitude of 5400 meters. The base camp offers unforgettable views of Khubutse, Mt. Pumori, Changtse, and the Khumbu icefall, rather than Mt. Everest itself.

Trek to Kalapaththar (5545 meters) and descend to Pheriche (4371 meters)

Trek to Namche Bazaar (3440 meters)

Irish Pub - The return journey to Lukla retraces the steps back to Tengboche via Pangboche, offering spectacular views of Amadablam, Mt. Lhotse, and other Himalayas. The trek passes through rhododendron forests, crosses the Imja Khola, and encounters several monasteries along the way.

Descending the hills, the trek reaches Phungi Tenga, crosses the Dudh Koshi river, and continues through pine forests to Sansa and then Kyanhjuma, finally ending the day at Namche Bazaar.
