We depart early from Kathmandu to Lukla via a quick 35-minute flight, taking off around 6 am. The airstrip, constructed in the mid-1960s by Sir Edmund Hillary and his team, is surrounded by towering peaks, hinting at the grandeur ahead. Upon arrival in Lukla, we meet our crew and trek through the Dudh Koshi Valley to Phakding where we spend the night.
Note: During peak season, flights to Lukla may operate from Ramechap airport to avoid delays and air traffic. Ramechap, 130 km east of Kathmandu, requires a 4-hour drive. If departing from Ramechap, expect an early start at 2 am and a brief 12-minute flight to Lukla.
After breakfast from Phakding the trail continues north up the Dudh Kosi valley, staying 100m above the river on its west bank. The trail leads us to Jorsale (2810m) where we enter the Sagarmatha National Park, and submit our trekking permits for checking. From here we continue on an ever-steepening trail to Namche Bazaar (3440m), known simply as Namche. En route we cross the spectacular suspension bridge high above the confluence of the Bhote Kosi and the Dudh Kosi, and shortly after glimpse our first view of Everest, way off to the north-east. The trail to Namche is steep and long, but eventually we reach the remarkable Sherpa capital perched high on the hillside and dominated to the east by the immense bulk of Kwangde
We spend another night in Namche to acclimatize to the high altitude. Nestled in a vast, protected hollow, Namche is a thriving village. Post-breakfast, visit the National Park Headquarters to learn about Sherpa culture, mountaineering history, and local wildlife. Your guides will provide guidance and accompany you on any chosen excursions.
