We meet other crew at Lukla after a 35 minutes scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, then make final preparations 3 to 4 hours trek to the Phakding. From Lukla, the trail drops down through the forest above the Chaurikharka Village and walks towards the Ghat (2,530m) and further to the Phakding (2,640m) with several Buddhist rock paintings, Mane wall, and Chorten. Mostly, the trail goes along the bank of the Dudhkoshi River. Rest of the day you may wonder about Sherpa Village Phakding or hike up to the Monastery. Stay overnight at the tea house at Phakding.

Note: During the trekking peak season, there is no available direct flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and back to Kathmandu due to the air traffic. Alternatively, you need to fly from Ramechhap to Lukla after a 132 km 4 to 5 hours drive.

After having breakfast at Phakding, the trail goes along the Dudh Koshi River banks and arrives in Tok Tok and Banker after 2 hours walk. On the way, you have excellent views of Thamserku Peak, and Kusum Kanguru soars in the sky. After crossing the bridge the trail ascends to the small village Chomoa, with an agricultural project farm. The trail ascending continues to Monjo (2,840m), where one can see the entrance gate of the Sagarmatha National Park Area (1,148 sq km, established in 1976).

We are staying overnight in Namche Bazaar enjoying towering mountains and Sherpa heritage.

Today is explored and rest day for the acclimatization before heading to Renjo La Pass. After having a late breakfast, we begin our day hike around Namche Bazaar and to the Khumjung Village through the Syangboche Airport and Everest View Hotel (3,880m). While ascending the ridge above the Namche Bazaar to the Khumjung taking 2 to 3 hours with excellent mountain views such as Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Kangtegha, Thamserku, Kusum Khanguru, Khongde, and Khumbi Yu La, etc. Then, the trail descends through the pine forest to the green rooftop houses beautiful Khumjung Village, for the view of the spectacular mountains, unique Sherpa culture, their live hood.

If would you like to explore more around, then you may visit the Sherpa Mountaineering Museum, Sagarmatha National Park Head Quarter (opens 10 to 4 PM every day except Saturday and public holiday) or hang around the Sherpa downtown.

Stay overnight at Tea House.

Today you are leaving Namche Bazaar and heading up the Thame Valley taking 4 to 5 hours. The Thame Valley is off route for most trekking groups and you are likely to find the paths relatively quiet. The trail from Namche leads west from the Gumba to around a ridge with the helipad in about 15 minutes and goes through the forest, and within 30 minutes, the descending trail from Syangboche ties in from above. Reach a large Stupa at Furte (3,400m), with tea shops, and two lodges, as well as a government-run tree nursery in 15 more minutes, 1 to 1 ½ hours from Namche. Continue to Samsing with two tea shops and then reach Tseso with an ancient-looking stupa and Lawudo Gomba ascend just out of Tesho, the second one with inviting stone steps, but stay left at the junction if you are on the way to Thamo (3,450m), reached in 20 minutes from Tshko, about an hour from Furte. Leaving Thamo, do not descend to the left of the river but climb past the monastery, at the end of the village. And ascend immediately to the Thame (3,800m) after crossing the bridge at Bhotekoshi about 1 ½ hour from Thamo via Samde (3,610m). The village houses are spread out, and you will camp in one of the fields surrounding the house of a Sherpa friend. In the afternoon you can visit the small Gomba situated on a rocky headland above the village.

Stay overnight Sherpa Land.

For the rest and acclimatization we will walk around the Thame Gompa, a picturesque monastery set among the homes of lamas and laypeople. This monastery is located two hundred meters above the Thame Village on the southern slope of the Mountain under a very high rocky cliff with many auspicious shapes and marks mentioned in five different histories. This legendary monastery was built in the fourteenth century. Thame is the birthplace of mountaineer pioneer Tenzing Norgay Sherpa (1st climber of Mt. Everest 8,848m together with Sir Edmund Hillary in 29-May-1953. You may have a great chance to talk with Everest Hero, Mr. Appa Sherpa, and 26the Time Everest Summiter Mr. Kamirita Sherpa about his experience while climbing Mt. Everest twenty-one times. Likewise, you may climb the best viewpoint in the region Sunder peak 5,360m elevation, for amazing, mountains scenery Thame valleys, Tashi Lapsa pass.  We are staying overnight at Thame in a peaceful environment.

After the last day of acclimatization, your body recharge for the venture passes to the Renjo La. Today, we are heading north into the remote Nangpa Valley along with the Bhote Koshi River Bank to the Marulung (4,150m), the Tibetan traders coming through the Nangpa La Pass. Until 2005 this valley was off-limits to trekkers because it was the main access route to the pass linking Nepal and Tibet. From the decade, many Tibetan traders have traveled this route, bringing a variety of Chinese goods on the backs of their yaks to sell in Namche Bazaar. The trail upward to the Marulung is about 5 to 6 hours walk from Thame. We are staying overnight at Marulung Village in the lap of Mother Nature

Today is a big day crossing the Renjo La (5,360m) about 7 to 8 hours ascending. You leave your tea house following an early breakfast with some packed lunch, energy bars, and enough drinking water and climb into a wide curie making for the edge line ahead of you. The actual pass is only a small mark. When you come over the past, you are greeted with an unbelievable panorama looking out over the turquoise lakes at Gokyo (4,790m) and across Mt. Everest. You descend over a rough glacial slab and moraine towards your campsite in a secluded location on the western shore of Gokyo. This is the trek of a lifetime and an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful isolated Himalayan scenes. Stay overnight here.

After having spent days of trekking, your body will call for a rest day. And there is no better place to rest than Gokyo Ri. Gokyo Ri is the go-to rest and acclimatization place for a lot of trekkers visiting the Khumbu region. When here, you don’t only rest; you also get to explore the region and go through the beautiful and soothing views of mountains like Cho Oyu (8,153m), Gyangchung Kang (7,922m), Lhotse (8,501m), Makalu (8,463m), Cholatse (6,440 m), Taweche (6,542m), Kantega (6,685m), Thamserku (6,808m), Lobuche (6,145m) and Mt Everest (8,848m). Hundreds of other unnamed peaks fill the scene, whilst below us, the Ngozumba Glacier, the largest in Nepal, stretches through the valley. We have a great memory and stroll back an hour to Gokyo for breakfast then take a rest and relax all day.

You will spend the night, again, at the same tea house here.

After breakfast, you will return to Phorse Village/ Phortse Thanga taking the same path you took to Gokyo. The return trip will be much easier as you will be mostly descending. We will stop at Dole for lunch, and after resting for about an hour, we will descend to Phorse, passing by pine and rhododendron forests. The trek will be rather long and may take around six hours.

  • Overnight stay at a local lodge
  • Included standard meal (Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner)

This day covers an ascent from 3840 to 4350 meters in around 4 – 5 hours. Begin walking up hill on the right side of  Phortse past the helicopter landing pad (grass field) traversing your way up a steep gradient until you reach a slight junction at the top. Take the left trail that contours around the side of steep mountain slopes.  If you suffer from vertigo and are fearful of trails with steep drop offs then this way may frighten you. The trail begins to climb and drop around 50-100 meters at every turn with plenty of stairs and switchbacks. There is a particularly steep switchback  involving stairs however I can’t recall at what junction it’s located. After 1- 1 1/2 hours you will come to a junction where you can turn right down a hill to Tengboche or continue straight to Pangboche. Continue straight to Pangboche, another 20-30 minute walk. At this point you get amazing views of Ama Dablam, the Lhotse wall, and Mount Everest peaking up to the left of Lhotse. Pangboche is split up into upper & lower Pangboche, a sprawling high mountain town , with various lodges and restaurants as well as a famous Gompa. You enter upper Pangboche passing Everest Lodge &  the Gompa on your right. About 50 yards after the Gompa make a right passing Makalu Lodge on your left & you will come to a fork in the trail. Take a left to continue to Shomare & eventually Dingboche or straight to Lower Pangboche. There are two route options to Dingboche. We suggest the upper route going through upper Pangboche, as it passes Shomare & Orsho where you can stop for lunch. The lower route, passing through Lower Pangboche continues to Dingboche (2-3 hours) without passing a town or many facilities. Continue on the upper route passing several mani walls, yak grazing areas, Chorten’s, & a Gompa on the upper slope to your left. At this point the Lhotse Nuptse wall dominates the view. About 1 hour out of town you reach Shomare, which you can see from a distance, but appears to take “forever” to reach due to it being uphill, and if you have not had lunch yet, hunger taking over.  We stopped for lunch in Shomare before resuming our trek. After 30 minutes out of Shomare you come to a junction where you continue on the upper trail to Pheriche (if going on to Gorek Shep, Kala Pattar, & Everest Base Camp)

  • Overnight stay at Himalayan Hotel
  • Included standard meal (Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner)

Today’s trek will last for about six hours. Initially, you will head out of Dingboche village towards a ridge with a monastery and continue through a grassland plateau enjoying breathtaking views of Tawoche, Cholatse mountains, and Pheriche village, nestled in the valley below. When we reach Thukla, we will stop briefly to witness a chaotic jumble of rocks. From Thukla, the path ascends through a rugged high-altitude region and passes by a memorial dedicated to fallen climbers. You will continue trekking until you arrive at Lobuche, which once served as a summer yak-grazing post.

  • Overnight stay at Mother Earth House
  • Included standard meal (Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner)

On this day, you will reach the Base reach Everest Base Camp summit. The journey begins by trekking through the lateral moraine of the Khumbu Glacier until you reach the picturesque Gorak Shep Village, nestled amidst snow-capped mountains. After reaching Gorak Shep, you will leave your belongings at Gorak Shep and head to Everest Base Camp (EBC).

At the EBC, you will be awed by the breathtaking views. You should capture the panoramic view with your camera. Most trekkers get emotionally overwhelmed by their success after reaching EBC. After enjoying the views from the EBC, you will return to Gorak Shep, witnessing the views of the world’s highest glacier – the Khumbu Glacier.

  • Overnight stay at Buddha Lodge
  • Included standard meal (Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner)

At Gorak Shep, you will rise very early and hike to Kala Patthar, from where you will witness the sunrise over Mt. Everest and other surrounding peaks. The sight is truly awe-inspiring and unmatched by any other. After enjoying the views from Kala Patthar, you will trek back to Gorak Shep for breakfast. You will then rest for a while before continuing your journey to Pheriche, your destination for the day.

  • Overnight stay at Himalayan Hotel
  • Included standard meal (Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner)

Following a restful night’s sleep in Pheriche, you will rise early, enjoy a hearty breakfast, and commence your trek towards Namche Bazaar.

Then walk along the Dudh Koshi river bank through the Sherpa Village, to the Jorsale, Monjo, Phakding stop for lunch. This trail reminds us again to enjoy the lush green scenery and incredible mountain scenery and local Sherpa villages until Lukla.

During other months – December, January, February, June, July, and August – you’ll fly directly to Kathmandu.

Trip Information

Airport Pick up

We offer our clients a complimentary pick-up and drop-off service to and from Tribhuvan International Airport and their hotel. Upon your arrival, a representative from Friendship World Trek will be waiting for you at the airport holding a pamphlet with your name on it. They will greet you, present you with a garland, and escort you to your hotel in a private vehicle. This ensures that you will not face navigational problems in a foreign country. Similarly, when it’s time for you to depart, our company representative will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to the airport for your return journey home.

Trek start

We expect you to arrive in Kathmandu by three pm at least one day before the trip departure date for last-minute preparations. If, in case, you missed the online trip briefing, it will also provide us time to conduct an in-person trip briefing, which we will organize either at our office in Thamel or at your hotel. During the trip briefing, we will provide you with vital information about the trek, motivate you, and recheck your luggage to ensure you have packed all the essentials for the trip. On the trek departure day, we will take you to Kathmandu Airport for a 40-minute flight to Lukla, the trek region.

Accommodation

This trek package includes 15 nights of accommodations in the trek region. You will be staying at the best possible lodges that we hand-select. Most rooms we provide are on a twin-sharing basis. You will stay in rooms with attached bathrooms at Phakding, Namche (3N), and Lukla. Similarly, we will provide standard rooms at Dole, Machhermo, Gokyo (2N), Phortse, Pheriche (2N), Lobuche, and Gorakshep. You will spend at least two nights of hotel stays in Kathmandu, one before the trek start and the other after the trek.

Meals

The Everest Renjola Pass with EBC Trek takes place in high elevations near the world’s tallest peaks, making it necessary to consume hygienic, nutrient-rich food. While we will provide you with enough nutritious meals, your options may become more limited as you ascend. We will provide you with 16 breakfasts, 15 lunches, and 15 dinners during the trek. Your meals will mostly be of local, Asian, or Western cuisine. The staple Nepali food consists of Dal (lentils), Bhat (rice), and Tarkari (often vegetable curry). While in Nepal, we also advise you to try momos and Chow mein.

For better health, we recommend consuming liquids such as green tea, lemon tea, hot lemon, ginger tea, garlic soup (a must-have), and fresh vegetables at high elevations. While non-vegetarian items are available in the trekking region, we advise against consuming them due to potential hygiene concerns with the meat. We also recommend you avoid dairy products, alcoholic beverages, caffeinated items, and hot chocolates at high altitudes.

Personal expenses incurred for alcoholic drinks, hot (tea/coffee), or cold beverages in tea houses, lodges, or cafes, aside from standard meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner with seasonal fruits), are excluded from the package.

Luggage

For every two trekkers, we provide one porter, but the luggage weight limit per trekker is 9 kg. We do not allow our porters to carry more than 18 kg of combined luggage. We never overload our porters. While porters will transport the bulk of your belongings, we advise you to bring a regular backpack for your valuables and important documents. Further, we suggest packing only the essentials for the trek. You can store any excess baggage at your hotel or our office storage free of charge. Additionally, during the briefing, we will thoroughly inspect all your items to ensure you have packed all the required things.

Typical day

Each trekking day will bring a unique experience as you trek, take in breathtaking views, snap photos, explore local villages, and enjoy traditional cuisine. Throughout the expedition, a qualified expert guide/Sherpa will accompany you, providing insights on the places you’ll be visiting. Our porters will carry your main luggage, while you will bring a small daypack with essentials and valuables.

Your day will begin with a hot cup of tea or coffee, followed by a hearty breakfast. You’ll start walking around 7-8 am, depending on the distance and terrain for the day. After trekking for three to four hours, you’ll take a midday break for lunch before continuing the trek. The afternoon trek will be shorter, and once you reach your destination, you can indulge in dietary snacks and explore the surroundings.

We will serve dinner around 6-7 pm. After dinner, your leader/guide will brief you about the next day’s plan. Then, you can engage in friendly conversations, enjoy onboard games like cards and Monopoly, or watch documentaries. Many foreign trekkers enjoy learning a few fun Nepalese words from our crew.

Electricity and water

In the trek region, lodges offer electricity to recharge your camera and mobile, but this service may not be free. Similarly, you can purchase packed mineral water from local lodges or en-route shops. Some trek regions may not allow plastic bottled water for ecological reasons. Hence, we advise you to bring a water bottle and buy boiled/bottled water from lodges and put it in your water bottle. We also recommend you use water purification pills. If you do not have water purification pills, our team can provide them for you.

We advise you to avoid drinking water from rivers, taps, or wells in trekking regions as it may not be safe for consumption despite its appearance.

Communication

While undertaking the Everest Renjola Pass with EBC , internet services will be available at the lodges; however, an additional service charge may apply. You can contact your friends, families, and colleagues from these lodges. As you ascend to higher altitudes, we communicate using mobile for safety. To ensure the well-being and comfort of all our trekking groups, Friendship World Trek remains in daily contact with them through trek leaders. If you want to remain connected during the trek, you may purchase a local sim card in Kathmandu. Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that depending on the network provider, the signals might not be strong enough to maintain stable connections.

Tipping

Tipping guides, porters, and crew during a trek is entirely up to you and should reflect the level of service you’ve received. In Nepalese culture, tipping is a way to express appreciation for good service. As a general guideline, we suggest tipping as a group at the end of the trek. The amount you tip is entirely at your discretion, but we recommend considering factors such as service quality, the trip, length, and trip cost.

Trek End

At the end of the trek, early morning, we will fly you from Lukla back to Kathmandu. The flight will last around forty minutes. With no more trails to cover, your flight will be quite relaxing. After arriving in Kathmandu, we will take you to your hotel. In the remaining time, you are free to spend your time as you choose. Later in the day, we will organize a fare well dinner.

Feedback

We’ll arrange a farewell dinner for you in Kathmandu. During this dinner, we’ll also present you with a company certificate to commemorate your trek achievement.

We welcome and value your feedback on the services and performance of our team. This is an ideal time to share your comments or suggestions.  If you’ve had a positive experience with us, we’d be grateful if you could take the time to review us on travel portals like TripAdvisor.
