Itinerary

Expand All Hide All

On the first day of this adventure, we will head on to Lukla at 2827m through a flight with an average flight time of about 40 minutes. After landing, we will be utilizing our precious time to explore the unique and lovely village while the Sherpa crews sort out the trekking equipment. We shall be reaching Phakding through the trails connected with small villages like the village of Ghat at 2,550m.

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea.
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Phakding
  • Altitude: 2652m

From Phakding, we cross a beautiful river stream on our way up to the valley. In the spring, when the flowers are dazzling with brilliant colors, the way is lined with blue pine and rhododendron, which forms a beautiful forest. In about three hours, we will reach Monjo at 2,835m and Jorsalle at 2945m for lunch. On day 3, the hiking is a bit roughshod and includes a steep walk to Namche Bazaar in the afternoon. From Monjo, we walk a short distance to the mysterious National Park entrance before crossing the Dudh Kosi to Jorsale at 2805m. Generally, flat terrain leads to the confluence of the Bhote Kosi and Dudh Kosi rivers as the trek proceeds upstream. From here, we begin the steep climb to Namche Bazaar. After we cross a wide suspension bridge high above the river, we ascend steadily towards Namche. Seeing the mountains of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, and Taweche (6542m) for the first time provides amazing opportunities for photography. Afterward, stay overnight in Namche, the capital. 

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Namche Bazar
  • Altitude: 3446m

We shall stay at Namche for another night on the sixth day to allow us some time for proper acclimatization. It is suggested to grab the opportunity to see both the views of sunrise and sunset from the Headquarters of National Park which is above the village. The view is absolutely gorgeous offering a superb scenario of the Khumbu peaks with a view of Everest. Your guides will be available at any time to offer advice and escort you on your walks during your stay at Namche Bazaar and also while conducting a hike to the Everest View Hotel for enough acclimatization.

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Namche Bazar
  • Altitude: 3446m

Around Khumbilya's lower slopes, the path leads through birch forests to treeless, grassy slopes and on to a stupa-3992m atop a rocky ridge at Mongla. Eventually, the view of the mountains is breathtaking. It looks like a chocolate box village set in a patchwork of stone-walled fields across the valley. The trail descends on a series of switchbacks to the Dudh Kosi River, 300 meters below, at Phortse Bridge. You cross the Dudh Kosi and then ascend to the village of Phortse under a moonlit night.

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, and 1 dinner with coffee/tea
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Phortse
  • Altitude: 3850m

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, and 1 dinner with coffee/tea
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Dingboche
  • Altitude: 4,410m

Once again, acclimatization is necessary. The thin air and high altitude of Dingboche will take some time to adjust to our bodies, and we will have gained considerable altitude on this trip. We will be able to catch spectacular views of mountains including Ama Dablam, Cho Oyu, and Makalu as we walk up the ridge above Dingboche.

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea.
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Dingboche
  • Altitude: 4,410m

The trek to Lobuche begins by ascending the trail above Pheriche village, near the ridge above which the trail starts. As the hike takes you higher into the Thukla Hills, you will start to see the Khumbu Glacier alongside you. In Thukla Hills, you'll see statues that commemorate climbers who have perished in this region. The day's journey ends at Lobuche, where we will spend the night.

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, and 1 dinner with coffee/tea
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Lobuche
  • Altitude: 4930m

We will walk slowly away from Lobuche while maintaining balance with the altitude. As we approach the moraines of Changri Nup Glacier, we will conduct a series of small climbs that will eventually lead us to Gorak Shep, where we will spend the night. From Gorak Shep, it takes about three hours to reach Everest base camp. Even though we won't have a chance to see Everest from the base camp, we'll have the opportunity to see the Ice Fall flowing from the Westside. 

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea.
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Gorak Shep
  • Altitude: 5160m

We will ascend Kala Pattar early in the morning. The beautiful rocky hilltop of Kala Patthar lies below Pumori. Returning to Gorak Shep is easy. As we retrace our steps back to Duglha, we will then descend to Pheriche. As we follow our way to Pheriche, we shall cross the Khumbu Khola on a wooden suspension bridge after we have finished our lunch. 

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea.
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Pheriche
  • Altitude: 4252m

We retrace our steps to Dughla after Lobuche. Going down seems much quicker and easier. Our path to the summit follows a wide alpine valley covered in scrub juniper to the temporary settlement of Phulung Karpo (4343m) and then to Pheriche for the night. If open, the Trekkers' Aid Post, operated by the Himalayan Rescue Association, is well worth a visit, although it is not staffed year-round.

After crossing the Khumbu Khola, we climb a short steep trail to a small ridge for great views of Imja Valley, Ama Dablam, and Kantega. Having lunch at Orsho and Shomare, we make our way down to Lower Pangboche and cross the ImjaKhola River suspension bridge before retracing our steps to Deboche and Tengboche.

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Tengboche
  • Altitude: 3875m

Following an early breakfast, we descend steeply through beautiful forests of juniper, rhododendron, and fir to Phunkitenga. The route contours above the valley through Shanasa and it's a gradual walk to Namche Bazaar where we have lunch and descend to Manjo for the night. After a welcome break and perhaps a cup of tea, we cross the Dudh Kosi and climb upward to Trashinga.

  • Meals: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with coffee/tea
  • Accommodation: Lodge
  • Place: Manjo
  • Altitude: 2832m

The Everest Base Camp trek comes to an end today. It won't last long since it is only a very brief walk towards the valley which will lead us to our final climb up to the airstrip at Lukla. In the evening, we will wander around after a delicious lunch at the lodge. As part of our farewell dinner, we will enjoy a few celebratory drinks.

Client Reviews

I just came back from the EBC trek organized by Nepal Nomad. Sarba was extremely efficient and took care of all the trip needs. He even accomodated me when I came back a couple days eralier and had to fly out of Nepal immediately. I had a wonderful trek with my guide Nara and my porter Sange. They were very caring and protective. They accommodated my slow walking, an extra day at Gorak Shep and were generally very flexible. I can honestly say that I could not have climbed Kala Patthar without them by my side. The next time I do a trek in Nepal, I will do one again with Nepal Nomad. Thank you Sarba, Nara and Sange for a memorable trip.

Nepal to go Everest Base camp for my annual vacation

I was planning a 3-week trip to Nepal to go to Everest Base camp for my annual vacation. In researching different options to do this, I came across Sarba’s website and after initial email communication I decided to go with him.
Sarba prepared everything I needed for the trek (permits, reservations) he even booked the hotel for my first day in Kathmandu. He also came to pick me up at the airport which is a nice thing since getting off a plane jetlagged in an unfamiliar place can be unsettling.
Next day we were off to the airport again for a flight to Lukla to start the trek.However, since the weather conditions were not good at high altitude, the flight was cancealled.Sarba arranged everything for switching plane tickets to go to the Annapurna region instead and do the Dhampus-jomsom trek.Even though this was not what I had originally planned, it was a welcome surprise.sarba is well educated and very knowledgeable about his culture. He mad me discover traditional Nepali culture and ways of living. We sat with the locals. Talked with them, heard their stories and saw them living as we walked through the villages. This is much more eye-opening than your standard organized trek. I came to Nepal expecting to see mountains(and I did)but Sarba also made me discover a fascinating culture and a very generous and interesting people that I would never have had the opportunity to know if I had not gone with him. Talking tourists on the trail about their experience I also realized how lucky I was to be with such a knowledgeable and friendly guide. When I go back to Nepal I definitely deal with Sarba again.

Trek with Nepal Nomad to Everest Base Camp + Kalapather

We took a 14 day trek with sarba to Everest Base Camp + Kalapather.We were picked up from the airport from Kathmandu when we arrived and from then on Sarba looked after us very well. he checked our gear before we went and made sure we had everything. We needed which I found us assuring. During the trek Sarba made sure we took it very slow that we would have have best chance of not having altitude problems which in the in the end I had none. I also found him very good company-he has very good English which made the evenings hours in the mountains pass quickly, and we learned lots of things about Sherpa + High altitude life that we didn’t know before. Throughout the trek Sarba made sure he pointed out all the mountains + names and any important facts along the way, and made sure we stopped appreciate the trek when sometimes we were just focused on getting to the next village. All & all we had a wonderful trek, the scenery was amazing and we could leax knowing all the accommodation, food + trek we arranged.We had very good trek to Base Camp & Kalapather.The trip was well arranged and through the way.

Everest Base Camp & Kalapather was most enjoyable.

The trip to Everest Base Camp was very good on the whole. Everything was well looked after & I felt simpered in all ways through the trip.I gained lot from our guide Ram & he was very hospitable & selfless. Additionally ,Kishor was great as his job was a porter & he was helpful at all times. We both believe that the trip was excellent value for money & we would not hesitate to recommend “Nepal Nomad” to anyone. Additianally, we hope to come back & use Nepal Nomad for further trekking & also for climbing in Nepal

Our trek Everest Base Camp & Kalapather was most enjoyable. The Nepal Nomad team was extremely organized and well planned and every aspect went smoothly. Our guide Ram kept us very well informed each day regarding what we could expect from the day on terms of trekking distance, real times etc.We felt very looked after too. Ram ensured we were well to trek many times a day and we were adequately dressed.Both Ram & Kishor were extremely friendly & helpful at all times & treated us very very well. The food and accommodation was also very good.We have already recommended Nepal nomad to friends at home. Thank you for a fantastic trip Sarba, it was so well organized from the start to the end.

Trip to the Himalayas was absolutely amazing!!

Our trip to the Himalayas was absolutely amazing. We spent 12 days on the Everest Base Camp trek and the scenery was incredible. Each day was different-from alpine forest to frozen glacier tundra’s. Nepal Nomad was extremely helpful in sifting up an itinerary that worked for us. We emailed Sarba for less than two weeks before our arrival in Nepal and sort together trek-including flights within Nepal, trekking parts, food and lodging all before our arrival. This was extremely helpful as it was first time in the country. The only thing I would change the world have began a bit more independence on the trail. Our guide Ram was wonderful, always making sure everything was perfect, best at times.Overall-We had an awesome in Nepal. Thank you will be back.

Trip to Base Camp was amazing. I am newly in love with the Himalayas, the Khumbu valley & culture of Nepal. The scenery was breathtaking and the hiking felt wonderful. The help was extremely hands on, to the point of feeling uncomfortably taken care of, but everyone was nice and attentive. We ate lots of Tibetan breads, drank buckets milk tea and got good taste of Sherpa culture. The actual trek to Base Camp was pretty phenomenal; the feeling of standing at the foot of the best while awareness and rock slides sound from the mountain sides is inspiring. Everything ran smoothly and I would recommend the trek to anyone with while interest in the day to day interactions with the trail.

The arrangements done by Nepal Nomad was very good, starting from the warm welcome received from sri sarba Jit, support of an extremely helpful guide, Sri Thal man gurung, everything was just perfect, we had a great experience of the local sherpa culture, their ever smiling helpful faces and welcoming people by saying Namaste, we enjjoyed the himalayan nature, locla villages, chilly cold and what not.we are really greatful to Nepal Nomad for making this trip successful. My special tthanks to guide sri thal for this extremely supporting nature. we wish to come again and again through Nepal Nomad.

We took a 14 day trek with sarba to everest base camp + kalapattar. we were picked up from the airport at kathmandu when we arrived and from then Sarba hooked after us very well. He checked our gear before we went and made sure we had everything we neede which i fpound very assuring. During the trek sarba made sure we took it slow so that we would have the best change of not having altitude problems which is in the end i had none. I aslso found him very good company. He has very good english which made the evening hours in the mountains pass quicker, and we learned lots of things about sherpa plus high altitude life that we didnt know before. Throughout the trek Sarba madesure be pointed out all the mountains names amd any important facts along the way and made sure we stopped to appreciate . The trek when sometimes we were just focused on getting to the nest village. All and all we had wonderful trek, the scenery was amazing and we could relax knowing the accommodations, food + trek were arranged.

I had the pleasure of Sarbas guidance on a trek to Kala pather/Everest base camp this recent fall, and I have nothing but good words. Having arrived in Katmandu with nothing but a recommendation, I went about finding a guide to take me on this famous trek. Like i said I had had a recommendation but upon arriving I thought I might try several different companies and to compare prices and quality before following my lead. However,after a string of disappointing conversations in which I struggled to find a company/independent guide I trusted, I tried Sarba.
Having made initial contact on the phone, we met the next day in Thamel and i was immediately impressed with his level of English and punctuality. After a short conversation arranging prices and itinerates, all of which i was happy with, we shook hands thus completed the deal.
The trip began with an early morning flight from Katmandu to lukla. This is prone to cancellations due to the altitude and tiny runway at Lukla but we were lucky to get away with no delays. Throughout this process Sarba took care of visa’s, tickets and permits required for the trek, all included in the price. Upon arrival and a brisk break fast, we took off into the sunshine heading towards our first over night stop at Phading. Despite my enthusiasm, Sarba constantly reiterated the need to go slowly and thus get use to the altitude. At first i struggled to see the logic but before long came to realise its truths.
From here the trek passed smoothly by. I was at first taken with the sheer beauty of the Himalaya but as we reached base camp, its history, meaning and size all acted in stirring the emotions. Passing the Everest memorials just before Lopsang also went a way to reminding you of the power of this vast mountain range. At the end of the trek we parted good friends and i have since met up with Sarba helping him with this website. I have since been in touch going about organize private funding for his primary school of which there are details on this website.
In advice to anybody considering this famous route, I can safely say Sarba’s guidance, combined with the natural beauty of the area made it a trip I will never forget. Furthermore, the benefits of going with an independent guide must be stressed, not only saving money but allowing for flexibility thus increasing the fluidity and enjoyment of any trek.
