Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, our friendly representative from Rainbow Adventure & Travel will welcome you and escort you to your hotel. After some rest, we will meet in the evening for a detailed trek briefing where your guide will explain the trekking route, altitude challenges, safety measures, and check your equipment.

Today we explore the cultural heart of Kathmandu Valley. A guided sightseeing tour takes you to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, offering insight into Nepal’s rich Hindu and Buddhist traditions.

You will visit Pashupatinath Temple, the most sacred Hindu site in Nepal, Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist stupas in the world, Patan Durbar Square, and Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple) with panoramic views over the city.

This day also helps you stay active without altitude gain before heading into the mountains.

Early in the morning, we take a scenic flight to Lukla, enjoying dramatic Himalayan views. After landing, we meet our trekking crew and begin our first trekking day.

The walk to Phakding is short and mostly downhill, following the Dudh Koshi River and passing through small villages and prayer wheels. This easy day allows your body to start adjusting to altitude gradually.

Today the trail follows the river with several suspension bridge crossings, including the famous Hillary Bridge. We officially enter Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After lunch, the trail climbs steeply uphill toward Namche Bazaar. On clear days, this climb rewards you with your first view of Mount Everest.

This is a crucial acclimatization day. We hike to higher altitude during the day and return to Namche to sleep lower, helping your body adapt safely.

Optional hikes include Everest View Hotel and visits to the Sherpa Culture Museum. The afternoon is free to explore cafés, shops, and local markets.

The trail begins with a scenic walk offering incredible views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. After descending to the river, we make a steady climb through forest trails to Tengboche. We visit the famous Tengboche Monastery, the spiritual center of the Everest region.

Today we descend through forests to Pangboche village, one of the oldest Sherpa settlements, before crossing the Imja River. The landscape becomes more open and alpine as we head toward Dingboche.

Stone walls surrounding fields protect crops from cold winds in this high-altitude environment.

Another important acclimatization day. We hike up Nangkartshang Peak, which offers panoramic views of Makalu, Island Peak, Ama Dablam, and the Imja Valley.

This hike prepares your body for the higher altitudes ahead.

The trail gradually ascends to Thukla Pass, where memorials honor climbers who lost their lives on Everest. From here, we continue along the moraine of the Khumbu Glacier to Lobuche.

This is the most exciting day of the trek. We walk along the Khumbu Glacier to reach Everest Base Camp, standing at the foot of the world’s highest mountain.

After spending time at Base Camp, we return to Gorak Shep for overnight rest.

Early in the morning, we hike to Kala Patthar, the best viewpoint for sunrise over Mount Everest. After enjoying the views, we descend to Pheriche, reaching safer altitude.

We descend through villages and forests, enjoying warmer air and easier walking as we return to Namche Bazaar.

Our final trekking day follows the Dudh Koshi River back to Lukla. In the evening, we celebrate the successful trek with the team.

Morning flight back to Kathmandu. Free time for rest, shopping, or sightseeing.
