Day 2: Fly Kathmandu to Lukla – Trek to Phakding (3-4 hours) Catch an early morning domestic flight to Lukla (2,860m), the gateway to the Everest region. After landing, you’ll begin your trek with a gentle downhill walk along the Dudh Koshi River to Phakding (2,610m). The trail passes through Sherpa villages and pine forests, allowing time to adjust to the altitude. Day 3: Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar (5-6 hours) Continue trekking alongside the Dudh Koshi River, crossing several suspension bridges. The final part of the day includes a steady climb to Namche Bazaar (3,440m), the main Sherpa trading centre. This day challenges your endurance and introduces stunning Himalayan views. Day 4: Acclimatisation day in Namche Bazaar Spend the day resting and acclimatising. You may take short hikes to nearby viewpoints like the Everest View Hotel or the Sherpa Culture Museum. This helps your body adjust to the altitude while offering insight into local culture. Day 5: Trek Namche Bazaar to Tengboche (5 hours) Descend slightly before climbing steadily to Tengboche (3,860m), home to a famous monastery. Along the way, enjoy views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The monastery visit offers a cultural highlight and a peaceful environment.

Each day involves steady walking for 4 to 8 hours, usually starting early in the morning to avoid afternoon weather changes. Trekking days vary in length depending on the altitude and distance covered. Mornings typically begin with breakfast around 7am. Trekking starts soon after and includes breaks for snacks and tea. Lunch is usually taken at a tea house or lodge en route. Afternoons include more walking before arriving at the next accommodation. Evenings are for rest, dinner, and preparing for the next day. The pace is tailored to the group’s fitness and acclimatisation needs, with opportunities to rest and adjust. ### How physically demanding is the trek? The trek requires moderate fitness and endurance. While you don’t need to be an athlete, you should be comfortable walking several hours each day on varied terrain. Improving cardiovascular fitness beforehand helps, such as jogging or cycling. The altitude can make even easy walks feel harder, so gradual acclimatisation is key. There are steep sections and uneven paths; sturdy boots and trekking poles are recommended. If you maintain a steady pace and listen to your body, the trek is manageable for most reasonably fit people. ### What are tea houses and what facilities do they provide? Tea houses are small family-run lodges along the trekking route that offer basic accommodation and meals. Rooms usually have twin or triple beds with blankets. Facilities vary, with some offering private rooms, others shared dormitories. Most tea houses have shared toilets and showers, often with an extra charge. Meals are typically homemade, with a menu including local and western dishes. Hot water may not be available at all times and often costs extra. They provide a comfortable and sociable base for resting each night on the trail. ### What permits are required for the trek? Two key permits are necessary for the Everest Base Camp trek: TIMS Card (Trekkers Information Management System) which helps track trekkers for safety. Everest National Park Entry Permit, required to enter the protected area. Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit for trekking in that region. These permits are arranged before or during the trek and are included in the package. ### What kind of food can I expect on the trek? The meals focus on local ingredients with some international options. Breakfast usually includes porridge, eggs, toast, and tea or coffee. Lunch and dinner feature dal bhat (rice and lentil soup), noodles, soups, and vegetable dishes. Snacks like biscuits, chocolate bars, and fruit are available for extra energy. Western dishes such as pasta, pizza, and pancakes are also commonly offered. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice. ### How does altitude affect the trek? Altitude sickness can affect anyone above 3000 metres, regardless of fitness or experience. Symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. Proper acclimatisation with rest days is vital to reduce risks. Guides monitor everyone closely and adjust the pace or itinerary if needed. If symptoms worsen, descending promptly is the safest option. Taking Diamox or other medication may be recommended after consulting a doctor. ### What gear should I bring? Bringing the right gear is essential for comfort and safety. Warm clothing layers including fleece and down jackets. Waterproof outerwear for rain and wind protection. Good quality hiking boots, trekking poles, and warm socks. Sleeping bag liner and personal toiletries. Sun protection such as sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen. Water bottles or hydration systems. You can rent or buy some equipment locally if needed. ### What about accommodation before and after the trek? Accommodation in Kathmandu and Lukla is not included in the trekking package. There are many options in Kathmandu ranging from budget guesthouses to hotels. Lukla offers basic lodges to stay overnight before and after the trek. Booking ahead during peak seasons is advised to secure preferred options. Assistance with accommodation bookings can be provided by the trekking team. Plan to arrive in Kathmandu at least one day before the trek starts for rest and preparation. ### Is tipping expected on the trek? Tipping is customary and appreciated by guides and porters. Typical tip amounts vary but generally range between $5 to $10 per day for guides. Porters usually receive slightly less but still benefit from generous tips. Tips can be given individually or pooled and shared within the team. Consider the level of service and effort when deciding how much to tip. It is a good way to show appreciation for hard work and support local livelihoods. ### What safety measures are in place during the trek? Safety is a top priority throughout the trek. Experienced English-speaking guides accompany the group. Porter service reduces physical strain and risk of injury. Medical kits and emergency oxygen are carried on the trek. Altitude sickness monitoring and evacuation plans are ready if needed. Local authorities and park rangers maintain trail safety and support. The trekking company has insurance and procedures in place to handle emergencies efficiently. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-16-111636.png - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
