A day to recover from the journey, adjust to the time difference and settle in. No programme, no obligations. Tomorrow we get down to business.

Sightseeing

Want to go for a small walk today? Here are some ideas on walking distance from your hotel.

Visit Garden of Dreams

Just outside Thamel, the Garden of Dreams is a peaceful escape from the city. Stroll through the flower gardens, watch the squirrels and take a breath. A good spot for lunch or simply a quiet moment before the trek begins.

Swoyambhunath Stupa

Also known as the Monkey Temple, Swayambhunath sits on a hilltop about 20 minutes west of Thamel. The climb up the stone staircase is steep, but the reward is a panoramic view over Kathmandu and a stupa surrounded by dozens of resident monkeys. The all-seeing eyes painted on the tower watch over the city from every angle. One of the oldest religious sites in Nepal, revered by both Hindus and Buddhists.

Kathmandu Durbar Square

About 15 minutes on foot from Thamel, Kathmandu Durbar Square is the historic heart of the old city. The square was the seat of the Malla and Shah kings for centuries and is still used today for religious ceremonies, including those of the Kumari, the living goddess whose residence is located within the complex. The temples, courtyards and wooden carvings date back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Walk there from Thamel and take the back streets: the journey is half the experience.

After breakfast, we have our pre-trip meeting. We go through the itinerary together and check our gear. Missing something? Your guide will take you to the outdoor shops nearby to get everything sorted. The rest of the day is yours.

Early morning, we board the jeep and head east towards the Solu Khumbu region, also known as the Everest region. The road winds through hills, river valleys and terraced farmland. By late afternoon, we reach Phaplu. This is a small town with a grass airstrip and the first taste of Sherpa country.

The trek begins! 🙌

We climb through forests of oak, rhododendron and pine, passing small Sherpa settlements along the way. The trail is quiet and well-maintained. Jhapre is a simple village with wide views over the surrounding hills.

We climb above the tree line into open alpine terrain. The air gets thinner and the views get wider. By afternoon, we reach Pikey Base Camp. It’s a raw, exposed spot with the summit directly above and the Himalayan range beginning to reveal itself on the horizon.

The alarm goes early. We climb to the summit of Pikey Peak in the dark, headlamps on, the cold sharp and still. At the top, we can see the Himalayan range: Everest, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Numbur, all at once. 😍

Sir Edmund Hillary called this his favourite viewpoint of Everest. Standing here with a bright sky, it is easy to understand why. We descend to base camp for breakfast and rest.

A long descent back through forest and terraced fields to the valley floor. Junbesi is one of the most beautiful villages in the Solu region. It’s a cluster of stone houses, prayer flags and a monastery on the hillside above. We’ll spend two nights here.

Today’s a slower day.

In the morning, we hike up to Thupten Chöling Monastery, one of the most important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in the region. It was founded after the 1959 Chinese invasion of Tibet by refugees who brought their traditions with them.

The afternoon is free to rest, explore the village or simply sit and watch the mountains.

We leave Junbesi and climb through rhododendron forest and Sherpa villages towards the Taksindu La pass. The views along the ridge are wide and open. On the other side, the Dudh Koshi valley comes into view.

We descend from the pass and climb again through remote terrain towards Saharsbeni. The trail becomes quieter here, with fewer settlements and more open sky. We spend two nights at Saharsbeni as the base for the Dudh Kunda hike.

Up early. We climb to Dudh Kunda, the Milky Lake, at the foot of Numbur Himal. The glacial silt gives the water its white, opaque colour. Sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists, pilgrims have come here for centuries to bathe in its waters and offer prayers. The silence here is complete. We descend back to Saharsbeni in the afternoon.

A descending day through forest and farmland. The altitude eases and the air warms. Ringmu is a quiet village, a welcome change of pace after the high terrain.

The final walking day. We descend to Phaplu, where the trek began. Tired, satisfied and with a full bag of memories. Tonight we celebrate.

Congrats! We walked through one of Nepal’s least visited trekking regions, stood on Sir Edmund Hillary’s favourite viewpoint and reached a sacred glacial lake at 4,600 m / 15,092 ft. Well done.  🎉 🙌

We board the jeep back to Kathmandu. Outside the window, the hills roll by and the city slowly reappears on the horizon. Back at the hotel: a hot shower, a soft bed and the quiet satisfaction of knowing what we just did.

After breakfast, we board our private vehicle with our tour guide for a full day of sightseeing in Kathmandu.

Sightseeing

Kathmandu is an ancient city with many UNESCO World Heritage Sites.  Today we’ll visit 3 of them.

Pashupatinath Temple

The holiest Hindu temple in Nepal, dedicated to Lord Shiva in his form as Pashupati, protector of animals. The temple complex sits on the banks of the sacred Bagmati River, about 5 km from Thamel. Non-Hindus cannot enter the main temple, but the surrounding complex is open to all. From the eastern bank of the river, you can watch the cremation ghats and the daily rituals that have taken place here for centuries.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square

About 13 km east of Kathmandu lies Bhaktapur, a medieval city that feels like it has barely changed in centuries. The Durbar Square is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the Palace of 55 Windows, the five-story Nyatapola Temple and the ornate Golden Gate. Behind the square, Pottery Square is still a working craft centre where local artisans shape clay by hand, just as they have done for generations.

Boudhanath Stupa

One of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Boudhanath is the spiritual heart of the Tibetan community in Kathmandu. Walking the kora, the circular path around the stupa, alongside monks, pilgrims and locals is an experience that stays with you. The whitewashed dome, the prayer flags and the steady hum of chanting make this place unlike anywhere else in the city.

A free day in the city. Visit any sites we missed, pick up souvenirs or find a quiet restaurant and do nothing at all.

Your international flight departs from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu.

Goodbye friends! We hope you will cherish the memories we’ve made together forever. And see you on the next adventure! 🙏🏽

Up early. Your guide picks you up at the hotel and you drive together to the airport in the dark. The mountain flight to Lukla is short, about 30 minutes, but unforgettable. The plane threads between ridges and drops onto one of the most dramatic runways in the world. Hopefully on time, but in the mountains, schedules bend to the weather.

In Lukla, you meet your porters for the first time. Now the trek really begins. The trail drops out of the village and follows the Dudh Koshi river downstream through rhododendron forest to Phakding, where we spend the first night on the trail.

The trail crosses the river on suspension bridges, each one higher than the last. The climb to Namche is long and relentless. But somewhere on that final ridge, you can see Everest for the first time, framed between the peaks.

We take it easy today. No major elevation gain, but plenty of time to acclimatize. If you like, we can go for a short hike. Or, just kick-back and relax in the village.

Namche Bazaar sits in a horseshoe-shaped bowl, carved into the hillside of the Khumbu, the high mountain valley that leads to Everest. It is the main hub of the entire region: part village, part base camp supply depot, part crossroads for every trek in the area.

Bakeries with fresh cinnamon rolls, gear shops stacked to the ceiling, Sherpa families going about their day and trekkers from all over the world sitting over a pot of tea.

Here we leave the main EBC trail and head west into the Bhote Koshi valley. The path follows a trading route used for centuries by yak caravans between Nepal and Tibet. Thame is a quiet, traditional Sherpa village with a monastery perched above it.

The valley narrows and the landscape turns alpine. We follow the river upstream past stone walls and grazing yaks to the small settlement of Lungden, the last stop before the first pass.

An early start for the crossing of Renjo La. We climb steadily and the views grow with every step. At the summit, a panorama opens up: Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and the turquoise Gokyo Lake far below. All at once. The descent to Gokyo is long but beautiful.

A rest day beside the glacial lakes of Gokyo.

On the optional climb to Gokyo Ri, about two hours up, you earn one of the finest viewpoints in Nepal: four eight-thousanders in a single panorama, including Everest, Cho Oyu, Lhotse and Makalu.

Today’s a shorter day along the shore of the Gokyo Lakes, skirting the edge of the Ngozumpa Glacier. Tagnag is a small cluster of teahouses, quiet and exposed. We take good rest here for the big day tomorrow.

Time for the second pass! We climb through a boulder field, then step onto the glacier. we may need crampons, depending on the conditions.

At the summit, the Khumbu Glacier and the peaks above Gorak Shep come into full view. The descent to Dzonglha is demanding but dramatic.

This is a shorter day, across a high plateau with views of Nuptse and Pumori. We join the main EBC trail at Lobuche.

The altitude is noticeable here. So we’ll take it easy.

This is the biggest day of our 3 Passes Trek.

We start before sunrise for the climb to Kala Patthar, the highest point of the trek and the best viewpoint for Everest. Then we descend to Gorak Shep, collect our bags and walk to Everest Base Camp: the legendary place where expedition teams gather before attempting the highest summit on earth. And we go to Gorak Shep for the night.

It’s time for the third and highest pass. The climb from Gorak Shep is long and exposed. At the top, we can see Nuptse, Lhotse and the Khumbu Glacier in extraordinary detail. The descent to Chhukung is steep and rocky.

It’s a long day. But the hardest climbing is now behind us.

We have a short, easy descent to Dingboche. Rest here, eat well and let your body recover after three passes.

We descend through the Imja Khola valley with changing views of Ama Dablam at every turn. Tengboche Monastery sits on a ridge above the treeline, one of the most beautifully positioned monasteries in Nepal.

We go back through rhododendron forests, cross the river at Phunki Tenga and climb back up to Namche. Familiar ground, but everything looks different on the way down.

The descent continues. We follow the Dudh Koshi river downstream through forest and past suspension bridges. The air gets warmer with every hour.

A short final walk back to Lukla. Congrats! You did it! You completed the Everest 3 Passes Trek. 🎉

It’s time to celebrate, reflect and say goodbye to your porters. the people who carried the weight so you could enjoy this great Everest journey.

We take an early morning flight back to Kathmandu. From the plane, we can catch one last view of the Khumbu peaks before the mountains disappear behind the clouds.

Back in the city: rest, eat and let it all sink in.

Mountain flights depend on the weather and delays can happen. If the flight from Lukla is delayed, this extra day gives you the buffer you need.

Smooth flight back? The day is yours. It’s a great opportunity for sightseeing. There’s so much to explore in the Kathmandu Valley!

Non-Hindus cannot enter the main temple, but the surrounding complex is open to all. From the eastern bank of the river, you can watch the cremation ghats and the daily rituals that have taken place here for centuries.

Today the adventure begins. Depending on the season, we fly from Kathmandu or Ramechhap to Lukla. Flying from Ramechhap? Then the day starts early. Very early. Between 1:00 and 3:00 in the morning, we get on the bus. From Kathmandu it’s a little more relaxed, with an early morning start.

The flight to Lukla is an experience in itself. A small plane, spectacular mountain peaks and a runway you won’t forget in a hurry. After landing, the walk really begins, heading towards Phakding. It’s a relaxed, pleasant walk along the Dudh Koshi river.

Today we walk to Namche Bazaar, the beating heart of the Everest region. Along the way, we cross the Dudh Khosi river several times via impressive suspension bridges decorated with colourful prayer flags. After passing through the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park, the trail climbs steeply upward. The views along the way more than make up for it.

Namche itself is a lively mountain village that surprises many first-time visitors. It has everything: good restaurants, shops and even bakeries. Take some time to explore it at your own pace.

A rest day, but certainly not a dull one. Your body needs time to adjust to the altitude, and today we take that time. A short hike to the museum or the viewpoint at Syangboche is a great way to spend the day. The views across the Khumbu peaks are simply spectacular. Especially at sunrise and sunset.

Today we leave the busy trail towards Base Camp and take a quieter path. We climb up via Khumjung Hill and then descend through a wide valley towards the Dudh Khosi river. Along the way we pass a chorten on a mountain ridge and the village of Mohang, the birthplace of a reincarnated lama said to have introduced Buddhism to the Khumbu region. A place with a lot of history.

Today we walk through a beautiful rhododendron forest. In spring, it’s an explosion of deep pink and green. The trail runs past a waterfall and through a small village before we reach Dole. The altitude is now really starting to make itself felt, and the landscape becomes wilder and quieter.

A steady climb today, along the Dudh Khosi river. We pass a chorten and walk through small villages. The surroundings grow quieter and more rugged as you gain altitude. Machhermo itself is a small, remote settlement.

This is a day that will stay with you. We leave the inhabited world behind and step into the rugged high mountains. The trail passes chortens on a mountain ridge, with views of Kantega (6,782 m) and the mighty Cho Oyu (8,188 m), the sixth-highest mountain in the world.

Then we reach the Ngozumpa Glacier — the longest glacier in the Himalaya. We walk along its edge and pass the first and second sacred lakes before arriving in Gokyo, on the shore of the third lake, Dudh Pokhari. The mirror-smooth surface reflects the mountain peaks all around. It’s almost unreal, it’s so beautiful.

An early start today. Before the sun rises, we step outside and begin the ascent of Gokyo Ri. It’s about two hours of climbing at a steady pace, until we reach the summit, marked by an enormous tangle of prayer flags.

In clear weather, the view from the top is beyond words. Cho Oyu, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, four of the highest mountains in the world, right in front of you. And below you, the Ngozumpa Glacier cuts through the landscape like a giant scar. These are views you normally only see in expedition photographs.

A short day today. And intentionally so. We cross the Ngozumpa Glacier and follow the mountain wall to the small settlement of Dragnag. The afternoon is yours to rest and recharge. Because tomorrow we cross the Cho La pass.

This is probably the toughest day of the entire trip, and also an unforgettable one. The Cho La pass is not technical or difficult, but it is steep and can be slippery and icy. It requires concentration.

At the top of the pass, colourful prayer flags flutter in the wind. In clear conditions, the views here are breathtaking. You can see the pyramid-shaped Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Lobuche East, a panorama you won’t forget. After crossing a few glacier crevasses, we descend to Dzonglha, from where you look out over an endless mountain landscape.

After the intense day yesterday, this is a welcome, more relaxed day. We descend from Dzonglha via a green trail with views of Lobuche Peak and follow the wide river valley to Lobuche. The rest of the day is yours, for a good book, or simply soaking up the views.

Today we reach another highlight of this adventurous trek: Everest Base Camp. The trail leads through the former Gorak Shep lake, past memorial monuments and over rocky moraine. The thin air makes itself felt. So we take our time.

At Base Camp, you see the colourful tents of expeditions against a backdrop of grey rock and ice. And the giant Nuptse, Khumbutse and Pumori towering above you. After exploring Base Camp, we make our way back to Gorak Shep.

Another early start. In the dark, in the cold. The temperature here can easily drop to -10 or even -15 degrees Celsius. But when you reach the top of Kala Patthar and Everest unfolds before you, the cold somehow seems to disappear for a bit. Mount Everest feels even closer than you might have imagined.

After this moment, we descend to Pheriche. For a warm meal and hopefully a good night’s sleep.

The descent begins. We pass Pangboche and the oldest monastery in the region, where the skull and bones of a yeti are said to be kept… Then we continue to the monastery at Tengboche, high on a mountain ridge with views of Ama Dablam, before returning to the familiar surroundings of Namche Bazaar.

Today is our last day in the mountains. We walk back to Lukla, the place where everything began.

You didn’t take the shortest route to Base Camp. You made an incredible journey via Gokyo, over the Cho La pass and through places very few people ever reach.

From the air, you get one last look at the peaks you’ve spent the past weeks getting to know up close. After landing in Kathmandu or Ramechhap, our team takes you to your hotel.

Mountain flights depend on the weather and delays can happen. If the flight from Lukla is delayed, this extra day gives you the buffer you need.

Smooth flight back? The day is yours. It’s a great opportunity for sightseeing. There’s so much to explore in the Kathmandu Valley!
