  From Phakding to Namche you pass through many settlements en route and get your first mountain view of Thamserku (6608m), Nup La (5885m), and Kongde Ri (6093m). The trail goes through dense rhododendron and magnolia forest and enters Sagarmatha National Park. A steep ascends will then take you to Namche Bazaar. Namche is the largest settlement of the Khumbu region and it has many restaurants, internet cafes, and hotels.

  Namche is the biggest village in the entire Sagarmatha region and offers a delightful introduction to the lifestyle of the Sherpa community. You will be acclimatizing here before your trek ahead. You can either explore the town or hike to surrounding villages like Khumjung and Khunde. You can even head to the Everest View Hotel to relish the sight of the Mt. Everest (8848m).

• Day 06: Namche Bazaar to Tengboche (3870m) (5- 6 hours)

  The trek from Namche to Tengboche is a gradual climb through the conifer forests and Rhododendron trees. The trail heads northeast along the Imja River to settle at Tengboche which houses the biggest monastery in the Everest region- Tengboche Monastery. The monastery and the village have a wonderful panoramic view of Ama Dablam(6856m), Kangtega (6685m), Everest (8848m), and Taboche (6367m) all appearing nearby. 

• Day 07: Tengboche to Dingboche (4410m): 3-4 hours

  The trek from Tengboche to Dingboche mostly ascends as you move through rhododendron forests and glacial streams. As you get higher in altitude you get above the tree line into drier climate. The view of Ama Dablam (6586m) dominates your skyline during the whole trek. En route to Dingboche, you will pass villages of Debuche and Pangboche and many Chortens, Mani walls, and monasteries. 

• Day 08: Dingboche to Chhukung (4730m): 2 hours

  Dingboche to Chhukung is a short trek as the main purpose of the next two days is to properly acclimatize your body to a higher altitude. You will stop at Chhukung before making your way to Island peak. Once you reach the village, you may climb Chhukung Ri Peak (5546m) or rest. Chhukung is at the entrance of the Imja valley, and at its other end lies Island peak. 

• Day 09: Chhukung to Island Peak Base Camp (5200m): 3-4 hours

  The climb today is short but fairly steep and tough. The terrain is rocky and rough surface, and the higher altitude will make it a bit more challenging. From Chhukung we stick to the route heading east. We reach Lhotse glacier then head alongside the glacier’s southern flank. From here, we alternate between Lhotse and Imja glacier moraines and climb up the zigzag path to the base camp. 

• Day 10: Trek to Island Peak (6189m), & back to base camp: 10-12 hours

  Since the mid-day offers strong winds and unpredictable weather, we need to make it to the top before noon. The trail is rocky, with large boulders scattered across. Moving forward, the path narrows through a rocky slope which leads to a ridge. We traverse along this exposed ridgeline into the glacier terminus of the summit. There could be newly formed crevasses, and ladders or ropes may be fixed per the requirement to ensure your safe summit. The top of the island peak is majestic, you feel like you are on a deserted island amongst the majestic sea of mountains and snow. Makalu (8475m) and Baruntse (7312m) are seen on the east with Ama Dablam (6856m) on the south while Lhotse Shar (8393m) towers ahead. We then carefully descend the same trail back to the base camp. 

• Day 11: Island Peak Base Camp to Pangboche (3,930m): 5-6 hours

  Today’s trek will be easier compared to our previous day as it is mostly a steady descend. Before arriving at Pangboche, you trek along Khumbu Khola valley crossing the beautiful Sherpa villages of Orsho and Shomare. Upper Pangboche like Tengboche also houses a Gompa, the oldest in the Khumbu region. We visit the monastery then head down to Pangboche. From Pangboche, it there are wonderful views of Kongde to the south and Ama Dablam (6856m), Kangtega (6685m) and Thamserku (6608 m) to the east. 

• Day 12: Pangboche to Namche Bazaar (3,440m): 4-5 hours

  Our trek first follows the Imja Khola, before joining up the trail adjacent to the Dudh Koshi descending rapidly through coniferous forests. You will cross Tengboche, Sansa, and other Sherpa villages before arriving at Namche. The drop in altitude will be a nice welcome back to Namche. 

   

• Day 13: Namche Bazaar to Lukla (2,800m): 6-7 hours

  The trail today is a long continuous descent so, take it easy on your knees. We will be crossing the suspension bridges over Dudh Koshi River and its sister tributaries. You will arrive in Lukla with sore legs but with a triumphant mind and heart full of warm memories, the chilly mountains have provided you. From the rough terrain of Everest Region to the lush rhododendron forest en route to Lukla, the trip has allowed you to experience the diverse landscape. 

• Day 14: Fly to Kathmandu (40 minutes)

  We will catch an early morning flight from Tenzing Hillary Airstrip of Lukla to Kathmandu. The flight back to Kathmandu is your last glimpse of the Everest region, to which you bid farewell from your seat above in the clouds. Once you arrive in Kathmandu, you have the rest of the day to do with as you please. You can just rest or go for souvenir shopping in Thamel.
