Welcome to the khumbu! We will take the exilarating on a twin otter to Lukla and (hopefully) cathch the first flight glimpses of Everest from the plane. In Lukla we will meet our poerter and other EBC staff and after lunch walk to Phakding a small village on the raring Dhudh Koshi River which drains the bulk of the Everest redion.The milky glacier – Fed water of the Dudh Koshi are the source of its name which means “Milk River” we will stay In a comfortable lodge on the edge of the river.

Today we will continue up the Dudhkosi under a forest of mixed coinfers and hardwoods, passing through several beautiful village. Just before the village of Monzo we will officially enter the boundaries of the Sagarmatha National Park, a procteded area encompassing 1182km2. Soon after we will cross a suspension bridge high above the Dudhkoshi and Bhotekoshi river and head up the hill through a black pine forest to Namche Bazar political and economic center of the Khumbu. For the success of our expedition we need let our bodies gradually acclimatise to the altitude. This will be the first of several rest and acclimatisation days we will take along the way to foster this process. Visit the National part visitor centre to learn about the natural cultural and human history of this regnion.

From Namche on the terrain changes dramatic38ally. We will trek along the edge of of a juniper – covered ridge, through rhododendron and silver birch forest on the north facing slopes. On this section of trail keep you eyes open for the spectacularaly colored impeyan pheasant Nepals National bird or for large mammals like the Jharal a shaggy wild goat which grazes in this areas. Once more down to the Dudhkoshi River and right after cross the Suspension bridge we climb up steepu to stay the night in the high meadows of Tengboche.

We will continue down into the wide glacial valley from Tengboche stopping to take in splendid views of Ama Dablam from Pangboche. We continue following the river to  Pheriche. We continue following the rever to Pheriche Where guides will facilatate your acclimatisation.

Leaving Pheriche behind we will continue along the path towards EBC, passing just below the egde of the Khumbu glacier before climbing steeply up alongside the glacial maraine to the village of Lobuche.

From Lobuche we will cross a grassy meadow behind Lobuche and scramble up rocks to our camp at 5700m. The senset views are sttunning from this camp. The next day we will start our summit push early climbing up the ridge and then up a 45 degree face climb to the summit ridge. We willl follow the ridge arround serace to the 1^st or false summit before raching the true summit. We will sleep at this altitude to acclimatise. We return by the same route to lobuche to climb the Lobuche east.

Climbing up the trail 3 hours beyond Lobuche, will reach the small outpost of Goroak Shep (5140m), the BC for the 1953 expeditions that first climbed Everest from here we walk 2-3 hours winding through the rubble and scree of the Khumbu glacier to reach EBC at the base of the Khumbu Icefall. For the next few days we will settle into our comfortable BC and get acclimatised. Sherpas have a spritual connectton with the Himalayas so we will perform a special puja ceremony in repect to the mountain and to sk for sagety good health and success.

We will start moving through the icefall practicing on ladder and testing our equipment as we climb part way to camp 1 (C1, C2 and C3). We will rest after this rotation at EBC.

For the next days we will progressively complete several rotations. Climbing through the icefall to C1 crossing the Western cwm to camp 2 (C2, 6400m). Then climbing midway up the Lhotse face to Camp 3 (C3, 7200m). we will rest and sleep for a few nights at C2 for our acclimatisation.

At this stage our preparatory work is over. In this period we rest, fuel up on calories to wait for a favourable summit window. If the wait is particularly long, you can relocate for a few days to lower altitude (e.g.Pangboche or Namche)

Once the summit window opens and our C4 is ready, we will head for the summit. During the summit push we allow our climbers to spend one full night at the South Col (C4, 7950m) sleeping on oxygen, rather than the couple of hours that most companies take. This allows you to get enough rest and energy to be ready for the final push to the top. We start early in the darkness from the South to the balcony and reach the South Summit by dwan. From here the route is exposed along the summit ridge to the Hillary Step. Straddling the boundaries of Nepal and Tibet up the ridge, we then finally reach the summit! The view from the rooftop of the world highlights the sheer scale of Everest as it dominats over other regional 8000m peaks (Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Shisapangma, Cho Oyu) seen from its summit. We return along the same route to C4 to rest. The journey back to EBC breaks at C2.

After returning safely to EBC we will take a day or two to rest, pack up camp and return back to Lukla for a much needed shower and celebratory beer

From Lukla we will fly back to Kathmandu, where the comforts of your hotel wait you.

Fly back to your home country. See you on another Himalayan Giant.
