Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary

This is the Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary that you follow to reach the base camp of Everest. You can also search some other itineraries recommendations on the internet or because of some companies that you're going with that is also completely fine. 

Day 01: You arrive in Kathmandu and you also spend the night over there.

Day 02: You fly to a place called Lukla. It is an amazing place in the middle of the mountainous region. You can see the marvelous mountain views from the window of the plane. After reaching Lukla, your trekking starts and ends at Phakding.

Day 03: The next day after Phakding, you go to a place called Namche Bazaar which is by far. It is one of the favorite places to be at.

Day 04: It is an acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar because after gaining a certain altitude, you also have to spend a rest day taking up acclimatization. High altitudes make the important activity because if you don't rest and if you don't acclimatize, you may get sick and you can't complete the trek. If you're going on a trek, you obviously want to enjoy it. So, acclimatization is also very important.

Day 05: After spending day four in acclimatization, day five you go to a place called Tengboche and the Tengboche is a one-day trek. You spend the night over there.

Day 06: The next day immediately after the Tengboche, you leave for a place called Dingboche.

Day 07: After the two days of trekking, one day of Dingboche is going to be a rest day and once you get there, you'll realize that rest is so important and you absolutely need it. High altitude trekking gets extremely exhausting after the rest day in Dingboche.

Day 08: Then the next day is a trekking day to Lobuche and the next two days of the trek are generally on the more difficult side because one day of trek to Lobuche restaurants day.

Day 09: And the next day directly you leave for a place called Gorakshep. After reaching there, you reach Everest base camp also on the same day. So, it's a very long day of trekking. All the way to Gorakshep and then from there to Everest base camp. And after reaching Everest base camp, you obviously feel extremely happy because you finally reach the destination that you had signed up for which is a very exhausting part of the trip. A high altitude up highest altitude pace and this is probably one of the longest and most exhausting days but after Everest base camp you feel totally relax and exciting.

Day 10: This is a day of an optional trek to Kalapather. At Kalapathar, your height is at 19,000 feet which is even higher than Everest base camp altitude. So, Kalapather is entirely optional and you have to wake up super early in the morning for doing that.

You have to wake up and start on the trek at 3 am, so that you reach the top of Kalapather by 5 am and you can see the rising sun behind the whole Khumbu region and the Everest peak, and the site. Though it's optional entirely depends on your endurance, but we personally recommend you to go on top of it and it will definitely become the best moment of your life. Whenever rising sun day, it is absolutely worth it but Kalapather trek is a very short one, and usually popular for watching the sunrise view.

You have to leave for the next destination and the next destination is going to stay at Pheriche for the rest of the day.

Day 11: After Pheriche, the next destination is to reach Dingboche by following the previous pathways.

Day 12:  After Dingboche, you finally reach Namche bazaar where you can almost celebrate officially the end of the trek because Namche Bazaar by the trek gets a little easier and you trek all the way back from Namche Bazaar to Lukla all the way back. It was a very long descent day.

Day 13: It's reckoning obviously. So you're also excited about getting back to normalcy and getting back to life. You have to take a flight back to Kathmandu. Once you finally fly back, you come back to Kathmandu and coming back to Kathmandu is a breath of fresh air. The whole world looks different to you and once you get back to Kathmandu you can fly back to your country or you can stay for an extra night in Kathmandu and just get the general vibe of the place Kathmandu. So you can book your accommodation accordingly whether you want to come back on the same day or you want to stay in Kathmandu.
