Everest Nagpa La Trek

Day by day Itinerary
Day 01 - Arrival Day in Kathmandu.

We start the trip on arrival at Kathmandu with airport pick up service. Since no activities are planned on day one, you can arrive at your own time. A briefing of the trip will be given by the tour/trek guide.

Day 02 - Full day sightseeing program in Kathmandu city.

Full day sightseeing program in Kathmandu city. Sightseeing places are: Pashupatinath,Boudhanath,Swyambhunath and Kathmandu Durbar Square.Evening:Transfer back to hotel and briefing about the trip. Overnight at Hotel.

Day 03 - Fly to Lukla and Trek to Phakding.

Early in the morning we fly from Kathmandu to Lukla (2827m). The flight offers a spectacular view of the Himalayas as we fly parallel to the Himalayan giants bordering Nepal and Tibetan China. After landing we will meet with our porters for the trek. We will have time to explore the village before starting the trail. The trek starts with a descent towards the Dudh Koshi River where we join the main trail to Namche Bazaar. The walking is easy and we will soon reach our lodge at Phakding. 4-5 hours trek.

Day 04 - Climbing to Namche Bazaar.

We will ascend slowly on the route to Everest Base Camp. Advancing slowly will ensure acclimatization. We shall tread slowly from Phakding crossing the river to walk through tracts of blue pine and rhododendron forest that is very spectacular in the spring months when the flowers are in bloom. We will cross the Dudh Koshi at Benkar and enjoy great views of the snow peaks Kusum Kangaru and Thamserku. After Monjo the trek will be a little strenuous as it will involve more walking with a steep ascent to Namche Bazaar. From here, it is a short walk to the entrance of the National Park where our permits are checked before we descend quite steeply to Jorsale. The trek continues upstream on a flat terrain to the confluence of the Bhote Koshi and Dudh Koshi rivers. After crossing a large suspension bridge high above the river we climb steeply to the village of Namche Bazaar 3440m. A slow and steady pace is recommended on this section of the climb and we are encouraged to make the most of the fantastic photographic opportunities as the peaks of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Tawache come into view. The effects of high altitude will slow down your pace a little, thus we encourage you to advance slowly. In Namche, we move into our lodge in the midst of the village and the rest of the afternoon is free to bargain for artifacts or embrace the spectacular scenery. 6-7 Hours.

Day 05 - Leisure in Namche Bazaar.

We will spend a day in Namche Bazaar resting and allowing our bodies to become acclimatized to the altitude of 3,450m. In the morning, there is the option of walking up to the Everest View Hotel 3,900m, returning to Namche for lunch.

Day 06 - Trek to Thame.

The trek from Namche Bazaar to Thame takes about 4 hours. From Namche the route turns west and the trail is almost level as you head up the Bhote Koshi Valley, once a popular trading route into Tibet. Along the way you pass many prayer flags, Mani walls and carved stones, all indicative of the Tibetan Buddhist culture of this area. After descending to the Bhote Koshi the trail climbs steeply to Thame. From here there are good views of the peaks of Teng Kangpoche and Kwangde and to the north is the Nangpa La, the pass leading to Tibet. Thame Gompa is situated above the village overlooking the valley and is the site for the spring celebrations of the Mani Rimdu festival.

Day 07 - Thame to Lungdeng.

From Thame, the trek to Lungdeng takes around 6 hours walk. The route follows the Bhote Koshi valley and en route, one can observe varieties of plants and animals, Sherpa culture and unique settlement of Sherpa people.

Day 08 - Trek to Sumna.

We are now in the quiet Thame Valley and from here on we may well see Tibetan traders with their herds of yaks bringing goods from Tibet and heading to or from the Nangpa La. From Arye the trail is easy for a while and gradually climbs up to a large flat area where the valley splits and is a good place for lunch. After lunch the trail continues to climb gradually at first and then it crosses a landslide area. We then drop to Sumna where we camp tonight at 4,815m just below the Sumna glacier.

Day 09 - Trek to Kangchung.

Today we walk the path that is rarely walked by a normal tourist visiting the Everest region. This is a short walking day up the valley to Lunag 5070m and Kangchung 5250m which is situated at the base of Nangpai Gotaya. We camp at Kangchung for 2 nights.

Day 10 - Day Hike to the Nangpa La.

This is a long and difficult walk as we walk to the Tibetan border. Leaving very early we descend onto the rocky glacial moraine of the Nangpa glacier. Ahead of us we can see the pass in the far distance but to get there we must cross from one side of this magnificent glacier to the other. Walking on the glacier is amazing and we must take care as the crevasses surround us. The trail changes from year to year but is marked by yak dung from the hundreds of Tibetan traders who bring their yaks across the pass regularly. We pass through Dzasampa (5,400m), a small campsite actually on the glacier, where the Tibetans camp with their yaks. The trail continues to zig zag up and down and back across to the right side of the glacier again for the final steeper climb up onto the ice and snow. We eventually come to the top of the glacier from where it is an easier 45mins walk to the very top. Finally we will spot the prayers flags which mark the top of the Nangpa La (5,710m) and the border between Nepal and Tibet. The views are worth all the effort of the climb. Ahead we can look down and across onto the barren Tibetan plateau and to our right is Cho Oyu. Other peaks and glaciers surround us and a marker post at the top is the border between Tibet and Nepal. We return to Kachung the same way.

Day 11 - Trek back to Arye.

We follow the same route back to Arye. If lucky we can follow the caravan of the Tibetan traders together and get to know the difficulty they have to face to make a trade in Namche Bazaar. This route is also often used by the Tibetan refugees who flee Tibet to go to Dharamsala, India.

Day 12 - Arye to Renjo La Base Camp.

Renjo La Base Camp is often called as Yak Kharka Camp. This place is situated below the Renjo La Pass in an altitude around 4900m. Today's trek is short and easy one as we need the energy to cross the Renjo La Pass the next day.

Day 13 - Renjo La Base Camp to Gokyo.

The big day starts real early as we have to walk about 4 hours to reach the pass, going slow because of the high altitude. After a brief stopover at the Renjo La Pass to enjoy the stunning beauty of the Everest Range and take photographs, we start on the difficult downhill journey for about 3 hours to reach the village of Gokyo walk along the stunning and beautiful Dudh Kunda (milk lake).

Day 14 - Rest day at Gokyo and excursion in and around Gokyo valley.

Gokyo is a trade centre where the Sherpa people run lodges to provide the best services to the trekkers. Gokyo is situated by the side of Ngozumba glacier, the biggest glacier of Nepal. This day you can make a side trip to Fifth Lake via Forth Lake.

Day 15 - Trek / Climb to Gokyo Ri.

Trek / climb from Gokyo to Gokyo Ri [5340m] & Trek back to Thare via Gokyo village and it takes about 4 and half hours. Gokyo Ri looms above the village on the northern edge of the lake and you leave camp just after first light, following a steep path up the hillside. As you climb, the summits of Everest, Lhotse and Makalu slowly come into sight and the view from the summit of Gokyo Ri itself, is one of the finest to be had in the Everest region - some say it is even better than that from Kala Patthar. After lunch it is a short walk to the village of Thare.

Day 16 - Trek to Tengboche.

Trek from Thare to Tengboche (3850m.) and it takes about 6 hours. The trail descends and climbs at a slow speed. Upon your arrival at Tyangboche village you come across the famous legendary monastery, the largest in the Khumbu region. There is a trekker's visiting centre where local Sherpas make an exhibition of different goods to be sold to interested trekkers. They also show a slide presentation about Sherpa people, culture, Buddhist religion and environmental development programs.

Day 17 - Trek to Monjo.

We continue our trek leading back through Namche Bazaar. We should have enough time in Namche to shop and relax in the bakery with a coffee and a cake, or even to check the Internet. A steep descent for 600m down Namche Hill leads to the suspension bridge crossing the Dudh Koshi River and the small village of Monjo (2,835m). Monjo a quieter place to stay than Namche and it also means our porters have a less strenuous walk back to Lukla the next day. 6-7 hours trek.

Day 18 - Trek to Lukla.

The trail now flattens out and we cross the river twice more before a rising traverse up the hill-side, past numerous tea-houses to Lukla. 3-4 hours trek.

Day 19 - Fly Lukla to Kathmandu.

We take an early morning flight to Katmandu. Rest day is free. In the evening we enjoy a cultural dinner with cultural dances from all round Nepal.

Day 20 - Final departure

Depending on the departure time we transfer you to the airport for final departure.
