Nepal - Everest Teen Trek Itinerary

Avoid sensory overload on arrival in this traveller’s Mecca and relax by the hotel pool. With energy restored, spend a full day exploring this exciting city on a guided tour. Be amazed by the colours of the 2000 year old temple at Swayambunath where monkeys roam free, marvel at Kathmandu’s Durbar Square, explore hidden temples and wander through market-filled streets. Perhaps even head to the charming and well preserved ancient town of Bhaktapur in the Kathmandu Valley to explore its elaborately carved pagodas and atmospheric alleys.

Catch a flight to the remote mountain town of Lukla and enjoy spectacular views of the Himalaya. Enjoy a gentle introduction to trekking following the trail to Phakding.

Continue through wildlife-rich forests and tackle Namche Hill, with the first view of Everest as a worthwhile reward. Reach the village of Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital considered the Gateway to Everest. Start the important process of acclimatising to the altitude with a combination of rest and an acclimatisation walk.

Hike up to this stunning Buddhist monastery where climbers traditionally seek a blessing for their coming journey. Perched on a pine-lined ridge, breathe in the incredible views and gaze up at the mighty Everest which towers above. This is a breathtaking photo opportunity not to be missed.

Walk up to six hours as the group retraces their steps. Enjoy the changing landscapes and stop to catch breath at pretty viewpoints. In the evenings, chat with the guides and porters to learn more about the fascinating Sherpa culture and celebrate a successful trekking experience on arrival back in the pretty village of Lukla.

Say goodbye to the mountain landscape and head back to Kathmandu. Take advantage of the free time to stock up on a few handicraft souvenirs in the city’s market stalls before this action-packed family adventure comes to an end.
