After breakfast, your guided sightseeing tour begins at 8:30 am with a private vehicle and a professional tour guide. You will first visit Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world, where you can observe monks and pilgrims performing rituals in a peaceful spiritual setting. The journey then continues to Pashupatinath Temple, Nepal’s most sacred Hindu site, located along the Bagmati River, where you may witness traditional ceremonies and cultural practices along the ghats.

Finally, you will explore Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a beautifully preserved medieval city featuring temples, courtyards, and the iconic 55-Window Palace, offering a rich experience of Nepal’s art, architecture, and living heritage.

After breakfast, your guided tour begins at 8:30 am as you explore the ancient cities of Patan and Bhaktapur with a professional guide.

First, you will visit Patan Durbar Square, home to the former royal palace of the Malla Kings and beautifully carved temples such as Krishna Mandir, Bhimsen Temple, and Taleju Bhawani Temple, showcasing the rich artistry of the valley.

The journey continues to Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, including Nyatapola Temple, Bhairab Nath Temple, and Dattatreya Temple. From there, you will drive to Telkot and enjoy a scenic 2.5-hour hike to Changu Narayan Temple, one of the oldest Hindu temples in Nepal dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The rest of the day is free for leisure and shopping in Thamel.

Your flight to Tenzing-Hillary Airport (Lukla) usually operates early in the morning, so we recommend completing your packing the day before to ensure a smooth and stress-free start.

Upon arrival in Lukla, you will enjoy breakfast while your guide arranges the porters (typically one porter for every two guests). The trek then begins with a gentle descent toward the Dudh Kosi River, joining the main trail that leads toward Namche Bazaar.

The walk is relatively easy as you pass through small villages like Chaunikharka and Ghat before continuing on a scenic trail to reach Phakding for your first overnight stay in the Everest region.

You will trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar over approximately 6 hours, following the beautiful Dudh Koshi River and crossing exciting suspension bridges decorated with prayer flags along the way. As you enter Sagarmatha National Park, the trail gradually climbs, rewarding you with stunning views of the Himalayan landscape.

Upon reaching Namche Bazaar, you will experience the vibrant heart of the Everest region—the largest Sherpa settlement along the trail. Here, you’ll find a lively mountain town filled with bakeries, cafés, lodges, and shops, offering both comfort and culture in the midst of the Himalayas.

Today is an acclimatization day, giving you time to adjust to the altitude while enjoying one of the trek's most rewarding experiences. You will hike to the Everest View Hotel, where breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Everest and the surrounding Himalayan peaks await. As you ascend, the mountain vistas gradually unfold, making every step worthwhile.

Along the way, you will also visit Syangboche Airport, one of the world's highest airstrips, perched above Namche Bazaar. From this unique vantage point, you'll enjoy spectacular views of the Everest region before returning to Namche for a relaxing afternoon.

On this day, you will descend to Monjo, passing once again through Sagarmatha National Park as you begin to say farewell to the Everest region and the world’s highest peak. The trail follows the Dudh Koshi River, with several crossings over suspension bridges decorated with prayer flags, offering a beautiful final glimpse of the Himalayan landscape.

The walk is scenic and peaceful as you make your way down to Monjo for your overnight stay, enjoying the changing scenery and the last views of the mountains along the route.

From Monjo, you will enjoy a scenic 4 to 5 hour downhill walk back to Lukla, passing through beautiful villages and along the Dudh Koshi River as you retrace part of your journey through the Everest region. Upon arrival in Lukla, you will have time to relax and reflect on your incredible trekking experience, revisiting the unforgettable memories of the mountains before your onward journey.

You may wish to extend your stay in Nepal to explore more of the region. Optional extensions include a visit to Chitwan National Park, famous for its wildlife and jungle experiences, or Pokhara, known for its stunning lakes and mountain views.

You can also choose to extend your journey further to nearby destinations such as Tibet, India, or Bhutan, each offering unique cultural and travel experiences.

It also serves as a buffer day in case of flight delays or bad weather in Lukla. If time permits, you may choose to extend your journey with optional activities such as a Chitwan Jungle Safari, a thrilling river rafting adventure, or a Kathmandu shopping tour.

In the evening, you will enjoy a farewell dinner at a fine restaurant, celebrating the end of your journey in Nepal.

Your journey concludes with a transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, where our airport representative will assist you with your departure from Nepal, ensuring a smooth and comfortable farewell.
