From Kathmandu, we drive to the domestic airport and take an early morning flight to Lukla. The dramatic peaks of the Everest region expose themselves with an extremely alluring smile.

We pass some potato fields and down there, we can hear the sound of the Dudh Koshi River. Our destination for today is Phakding. Overnight at lodge/tea house. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Accommodation) 

Having breakfast, on the second day of the trek to Everest base camp, we commence through the mixed-up trail. We cross numerous swaying steel bridges and officially enter the Sagarmatha National Park. The steep climb-up trail leads us through the forest and relying on persistent physical effort, we reach the horseshoe-shaped Namche Bazaar. The dramatic first sight of Everest can be enjoyed while climbing up. It is the place for exploration and acclimatization, where we can find local markets, restaurants, internet service. Overnight at lodge/tea house. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Accommodation) 

On the acclimatization day at Namche Bazaar, set out for the day hiking after breakfast. We trek higher, exploring the Sherpa cultural heritages, lifestyles, and the surroundings of the traditional villages. It takes about 6 hours to head around the locality that keeps our body acclimatized. Acclimatization is unavoidable for walking above 3000 meters and Namche Bazaar is already at 3440 meters. Then we come back and rest. Overnight at lodge/tea house. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Accommodation) 

Welcome to the journey above 3400 meters altitude. After breakfast, we climb up gradually to Kyangjuma, which takes about 1.5 hrs. After a short rest, we proceed to Phortse Tenga for a couple of hrs, where we stop for lunch. Taking a lunch break, we continue the excursion towards Dole, which is another 2 hrs journey. The route is quite mixed-up, zig-zag and up down route. Overnight at the lodge.

The route after Dole is also winding but the route and the view are great. After about 3 hour's trek, we take a break at Machhermo. It's our lunch point and also the overnight place. As far as the high altitude is concerned, it's better to hike around for acclimatization. Breathing should be easy and comfortable and you should respond to your physical condition. Overnight at the lodge.

Heading from Machhermo, we enjoy the scenery of the first and second lakes of this region. In about 4-hrs- 5 hrs, we reach the third lake of this region, which is known as Gokyo Lake. First, we have lunch and explore the Lake.

Gokyo Lake is located at 4750 meters altitude, which is the third lake in the Gokyo region. It is also known as Dhudh Pokhari. It has got an area of 42.9 hector/106 acres, and its depth goes to the height of 43 meters. It is a sacred Lake, related to the myth of Hinduism.

We should not miss the golden panoramas from Gokyo Ri. Thus, we begin to hike there early in the morning. The excellent sunrise view over Mt. Everest, Makalu, Gokyo peak, and the surroundings can be explored. We can climb the Gokyo peak (5360 meters). Ngozumba glacier can be seen as more spectacular. The fourth Lake (Thonak Tsho) and the fifth Lake (Ngozumba Tso) increase the adornment of the journey to Gokyo Ri. Then we retrace to the Gokyo valley and rest. Overnight at lodge/tea house.

After breakfast at the hotel, we continually climb down to Dole. On the way, we stop at Machhermo for the lunch. Of course, the downhill excursion will be easy to walk due to the altitude. At the same time, the Himalayan views and the surrounding landscape look great. Overnight at the hotel at Dole. 

From Dole, we kick-start the trek continuing downhill. First, we reach Namche Bazaar after a walk through the fine route, which is an almost flat route, let's say slightly downhill. We can have lunch at Namche and hike downhill all the way to Manjo after checking out of the Sagarmatha National Park. Overnight at the hotel. 

Having breakfast at the hotel, we proceed towards Lukla. on the way, we cross three suspension bridges and it becomes a spectacular journey. We stop at Thado Khola for lunch and head towards Lukla. Overnight at the hotel.
