OVERVIEW

This 16-day adventure takes you deep into the heart of the Everest region with a full camping experience — no tea houses, just tents under the stars, great food from our kitchen crew, and the pure mountain atmosphere. Along the way, you’ll explore Everest Base Camp, enjoy amazing views from Kala Patthar, and even climb Pokalde Peak (5,806m), a great introductory Himalayan peak.

The trek starts in Kathmandu, where you’ll spend a night before flying into Lukla, the famous gateway to Everest. From there, the journey slowly builds up — passing through places like Namche Bazaar, Tengboche Monastery, and quiet hidden spots like Lake Camp and North Ama Dablam Base Camp. You’ll have time to rest and get used to the altitude, and we’ve built in short hikes and scenic camps to help with acclimatization.

One of the highlights is climbing Pokalde Peak. It’s not too technical, but it’s challenging enough to give you a real sense of what mountaineering is like. The summit offers an incredible panorama of the highest mountains on Earth — Everest, Makalu, Ama Dablam, and many more.

The whole trip is fully supported, with experienced guides, a great kitchen team, and porters who’ll take care of the heavy lifting. You’ll sleep in comfortable tents and enjoy warm meals even at high altitudes. The pace is steady, with plenty of time to enjoy the views, rest, and explore local villages and culture.

You’ll end the trek back in Lukla before flying to Kathmandu, where you’ll have a farewell dinner and celebrate everything you’ve achieved. It’s more than just a trek — it’s a full Himalayan experience with a mountain climb, great company, and memories that’ll last a lifetime.
