Subsequent to arriving in Kathmandu, a delegate from Snow Bank Adventure will pick you up and take you to your hotel. At night, there will be an appreciated supper hosted by Snow Bank Adventure.
After breakfast we start our voyage through four astonishing UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These incorporate the compositionally rich Durbar Square, the hallowed Hindu sanctuary of Pashupati Nath, the fascinating ‘Monkey Temple’ (Swayambunath) and Bauddha Nath Stupa which is probably the most enthralling stupa on the planet.
During the flight from Kathmandu to Lukla (9,186ft), we appreciate one of the most wonderful air courses on the planet coming full circle on a slope encompassed by high precipitous pinnacles. From Lukla, we begin trekking. At one hour’s slow plummet, we will be at a Cheplung town from where we have a look at Mt. Khumbila (18900ft), a consecrated mountain which has never been ascended. From Cheplung, we at that point step by step plunge until we reach Phakding and go through the night.
Strolling through a wonderful pine backwoods, we pursue the trail north up the valley of Benkar. At that point, we cross Dudh Koshi River and continue passing Chumoa to Monjo, the passageway to Everest National Park. At that point crossing a suspension bridge, we pass Jorsale town and stroll nearby of the Dudh Koshi and Bhote Koshi streams. A lofty climb carries us to the prime place – Namche Bazaar.

There are a lot of activities around Namche Bazaar, and we can go through multi day here acclimatizing. Namche Bazzar is the fundamental focus of the Khumbu locale and has government workplaces, ATMs, Internet bistros, shops, eateries, and a brilliant market. Our aides can take us to investigate the genuine appeal of Namche Bazaar. Climbing to Sagarmatha National Park rewards trekkers with the perspectives of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kongde, etc.
This section of the trek incorporates the plunge to the Dudh-Koshi River to Tengboche. While dropping to Dudh Kish River, we appreciate the perspectives on peaks like Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kongde, etc. After achieving Tengboche, we visit Tengboche Monastery the biggest cloister in the area and absorb the perspectives on Everest, Ama Dablam and different pinnacles.
We plunge and trek through woodlands loaded up with an assortment of lavish trees – birch, conifers and rhododendrons. This adventure again compensates us with gigantic perspectives on Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The beautiful trail plunges down to Devuche, crosses the Imja River and takes us to Pangboche. The upper Pangboche trails remunerate us with an increasingly perfect perspective on the Himalayas and the Pangboche Monastery. The trek pushes forward towards the Imja Valley, Lobuche River and at last starts scaling to Dingboche.
Dingboche is a well known stop for trekkers and climbers making a beeline for Mt. Everest, Ama Dablam or Imja Tse. The town is delightful with a variety of fields encased by stone dividers to secure grain, buckwheat and potatoes from the virus wind and munching creatures. We go through multi day at Dingboche for acclimatization. We take day climbs to either Nagarjun Hill or Chukkhung Valley for incredible perspectives on Makalu, Lhotse, Chalotse, Tawache and Ama Dablam.
We begin the day with a continuous move to Duglha toward the finish of the terminal moraine of the Khumbu Glacier. From here, we move up a lofty trail to Chupki Lhara, where we discover a variety of stones with petition banners utilized as commemorations to Scott Fischer (American mountain climber) and 10-time Everest submitter Babu Chiri Sherpa (Nepali mountain climber) who died set for trip Everest. Next, we proceed to the Khumbu Glacier moraine and end up confronting a few incredible pinnacles – Khumbutse, Lingtren, Pumori and Mahalangur Himal. The trail at that point dials down as we pursue the valley to Lobuche.
We take the trail to Everest Base Camp through the once immense Gorak Shep Lake. The way from here can be misdirecting; subsequently, it is significant that we pursue our lead Sherpa steadily. The walk is strenuous because of slight air in the high height before achieving the Everest Base Camp. We return to Gorak Shep for a decent night’s rest.
We plan for an early morning trek, in the midst of pre-sunrise haziness and cold temperatures (- 10 to – 14 C). In addition, there is consistently the potential for cold breezes which are very normal. Natural pinnacles, for example, Lingtren, Khumbutse, and Changtse tower toward the east even as Everest uncovers itself. Be that as it may, it is after coming to Kala Patthar that we get to see360 degree perspectives on Mt. Everest. We take pictures, appreciate the sublime mountain display, and after that arrive back to Dingboche for a decent night’s rest.
Trekkers meet the climbing crew members in Dingboche and start their comfortable journey towards Chhukung. The trail is easy and it is as part of the preparation as well. Get all the necessary briefing theoretically before heading to Island Peak Base Camp.
Early in the morning we will walk towards Island Peak. It takes approximately 3 hours to reach there. Sherpa and climbing guide will conduct the light training regarding rope, harness, crampons and climbing languages.
Early in the morning around 1 a.m. the climbing starts. Have a meticulous walking and heed the instructions of the guide. Climbers climb along the ridge and few meters before the summit is very difficult. Once you are at the top of the Island Peak get the best panoramic view of mountains. The mobile tower is active on the top and you can give the message to your loved ones from the top. We will descend after spending few hours at the top. Trekking will be directly to Chhukung after brief stop at the Island Base Camp.
We will retrace back to the monastery town of the EBC Trek route. Relish the return trip victorious. You can recollect your memories at the coolest place nearby Tengboche Monastery with Mt. Amadablam on the back.
This day is full of downhill and uphill trekking through Phungi Thanga and Kyangjuma. Enjoy the evening around the market place of Namche Bazaar. The return trip after high altitude is always refreshing.
The trail drops steeply descending so we have to walk carefully as our unstable legs constantly fight the rough territory. In the wake of traverse the quick streaming Dudh Koshi and its tributaries, the trail turns out to be progressively level and common. After our landing in Lukla, we extend those sore legs and review the encounters of the most recent few weeks.
We fly to Kathmandu toward the morning. In the wake of landing in Kathmandu, we will be accompanied to our inn. We appreciate the day relaxed or make up for lost time with some very late shopping or investigate any tourist spots we missed during our first day in Kathmandu. To commend the fruitful culmination of our voyage, we will have a goodbye supper at night.
Our adventure in Nepal reaches an end today! A Snow Bank Adventure delegate will drop you off at the air terminal roughly 3 hours before your booked flight. On our approach to home, you will have a lot of time to design your next experience in the magnificent nation of Nepal.
