Early in the morning, you go back to the airport and hop on a flight to Lukla. For the next 30 minutes, you will be able to see the Himalayas in all their glory as you head in their direction in a small aircraft. The landing will also be pretty memorable as you touch down at one of the world's most dangerous airports.Once you land, you officially begin the trek. As it is mostly downhill, the trek is a light one. You will travel on mostly dirt trails with some paved sections. It is a pleasant hike as you walk shaded by the trees and smell the blooming rhododendrons and cherry blossoms. Watching the Himalayas up high and the gurgling Dudh Koshi river down low, you need to cross a few suspension bridges till you set foot in Phakding.

Today your destination is the famous town of Namche Bazaar. The trail you take is along the course of the Dudh Koshi as you go deeper into the Khumbu valley. It is pretty uphill for most of the trip, with a steep section at the end. As you carry on your journey on trails similar to the day before, you will arrive at the village of Monjo (2,835m/9,301 ft). This village is the official entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park. Once you advance entrance, you will need to walk a few hours and cross a few bridges until you finally arrive at Namche Bazaar.

Day four of your trip will be spent in Namche to acclimatize for the journey ahead. The best way to do this is to take an acclimatization hike. Some popular spots to do so include Khumjung village (3,790 m/ 12,434 ft). The village offers an insight into the daily life of the inhabitants of Khumbu and an outstanding view of Khumbila peak (5,717 m/ 18,757 ft). The monastery nearby is also an excellent place to visit. If you are willing and able to hike a little further, your next stop could be Hotel Everest View (3880m). You can get a nice view of the mountains as you relax with some refreshments, with Lhotse (8,516 m/27,940 ft) and Nuptse (7,864m/ 25,801 ft) being some of the peaks you will get a better view of. If you are uninterested in a hike, you can spend the day exploring the various attractions in the town itself. Some noteworthy venues include the Sherpa Museum, which holds exhibits relating to the mountaineering history of the Sherpas, Namche Monastery, and the various eateries lining the stone-paved streets.

Day five of your trip is a day of literal ups and downs as you first hike towards the valley walls on narrow trails. Alongside the trail are various stupas, and the trail itself is a dirt path through lush forests with some rocky sections. All the while, you are treated to the sights of the Himalayas, particularly of the Ama Dablam (6,812 m/ 22,349 ft). As you travel higher on the valley walls, the trail eventually becomes plainer and winding. Then, it is time to descend back down the valley again, along similar trails with more rough sections. Finally, you will get to the Imja river and, crossing the suspension bridge over it, enter the village of Phunki Tenga. Now, the time has come again for you to ascend to the valley walls on the trail of stepper incline. Finally, you arrive at Tengboche. You will have ample time to appreciate the beautiful Tengboche Monastery before settling in.

Today, your destination is Dingboche village. The first part of the journey is smooth with a gentle ascent. You will cross a suspension bridge over the Imja river once you pass the village of Deboche (3,820 m/ 12,532 ft). The second part of the journey is on a trail with a steep ascent. By this time, you will have noticed losing the view of Mount Everest as you get evermore closer. However, its neighboring peaks more than make up for this loss, as you get clearer views of Ama Dablam (6,812 m/ 22,349 ft), Lhotse (8,516 m/27,940 ft), and Nuptse (7,864 m/ 25,801 ft). Traveling with such views, you finally make it to Dingboche.

Today is the second acclimatization day of this trip. The best way to acclimatize is through a short hike, and some of the options you can pick from include Nangkartshang Peak, Nagarjun Hill, and Chhukung Ri. To reach the viewpoint from Nangkartshang Peak (5,083 m/ 16,677 ft), you must travel a steeply inclined winding path that gets rockier as you approach the top. But once there, you will be rewarded with an awesome view of the mountains and surrounding valleys. At the top, you will see an amazing view of Ama Dablam (6,812 m/ 22,349 ft), Lhotse (8,516 m/27,940 ft), and other peaks of the Himalayas to your right, the next leg of the journey on your le ft and your previous route behind you. Nagarjun Hill (5100 m/ 16732 ft), another viewpoint provides an excellent view of Lobuche East (6,119m /20075 ft), Lobuche West (6,145m / 20160 ft), Thamserku (6,623 m/ 21,729 ft) and others. Similarly, the viewpoint at Chhukung Ri (5,550 m/ 18,209 ft) provides another gorgeous view of Makalu (8,485 m/ 27,838 ft) and Tawache (6,495 m/ 21,309 ft) among others.

After a day of acclimatization in Dingboche, you leave the village and set your sights on the village of Lobuche (4,940m/ 16,207 ft). You will begin by climbing a ridge till you hit pastures with the occasional grazing yak to get there. From here, traveling on a path carved unto the valley wall, you will set foot in Thukla village (4,620 m/ 15,157 ft). The path becomes rougher and steeply uphill until you arrive at Thukla Pass (4830 m/ 15,846 ft). This place is famous for the memorials and chortens built to remember the people who lost their lives while climbing Mount Everest. Once you travel through the pass, you will reach and begin traveling right alongside the Khumbu glacier till you reach your destination.

Today is the day you get to the entire point of this trip - Everest Base Camp. To reach it, you begin by walking along the Khumbu glacier on rough trails formed by the moraine. Most of the trail is gentle, with some steep inclines. As you approach Gorakshep, you will have to cross the glacier on one of its coarse and sandy sections. As you step foot in the village, check into your lodge and make yourself light; for now, you will make the trip to the base camp. The trail will get rougher as you begin trekking next to the glacier, but the incline is gentle. As you travel this rocky road, you can see the Khumbu icefalls and only the very top of Mount Everest, as Lhotse and Nuptse will shroud it. Finally, you reach the base camp. Once you are done exploring the base camp, you head back to Gorakshep on the same trail.

On Day 10 of the trip, you need to arise before dawn and hike to Kala Patthar (5,545m/ 18,192 ft) to capture the beautiful look of Mount Everest, and other associated peaks lit up by a rising sun. Once there, you will get a 360 degrees' view of Sagarmatha National Park and essentially your journey up till now, and who can forget the unforgettable peaks of Mt. Everest (8,848.86 m/ 29,031.7 ft), Nuptse (7,864m/ 25,801 ft), Khumbu Tse (6,036m/ 21,771 ft.), Tawache (6,495 m/ 21,309 ft), Ama Dablam (6,812 m/ 22,349 ft), Cholatse (6,440 m / 21,130 ft), and many others. Now, your long journey home begins. You begin by descending the same paths you took the preceding days until you cross Thukla pass. After this landmark, you will cross the river again but then head along an alternative path to Pheriche (4,288m/ 14,070 ft), your stop for the night.

Today, the trails will take you up and down the valley walls as you set your destination to Namche Bazaar. You begin by ascending a slight ridge and then descending the hill heading first to Tengboche. From Tengboche, you will descend steeply on the same rocky trails you took days before until you arrive at Phunki Tenga. You will cross the Imja river and then ascend again along the previously traveled routes until you hit Namche Bazaar.

The last day of trekking will leave a bittersweet taste as you leave Namche and head to Lukla. Even though you will descend a lot in altitude, there are also some uphill sections to cover, so don't hurry!

Today you catch a flight to Kathmandu, leaving the ever bustling trails and the silent peaks of Khumbu behind. On your way back, be sure to catch the last glimpses of the mountains on whose laps you made, hopefully, good memories of the past few days. After landing, you can pursue whatever activity you wish to engage in. You can take a hard-earned rest or a relaxing day at the spa if you feel like it. If you feel energetic, you can visit the many tourist attractions and sites in and around the valley

Today, you head back home on any flight to your convenience. Be sure to reach the airport about three hours before your scheduled flight.
