Your Himalayan journey launches with a breathtaking mountain flight from Kathmandu to Lukla — the legendary gateway to Everest. The moment your boots hit Lukla’s iconic runway, you’ll feel the thrill of high-altitude adventure. After a quick tea stop and porter meet-up, set off on a scenic trek that winds along the Dudh Koshi River, with fluttering prayer flags and yak bells echoing through pine-scented forests. Tonight, you’ll rest in the riverside village of Phakding, a peaceful haven surrounded by towering peaks and soft mountain whispers.
Today’s trail is a symphony of suspension bridges, mani stones, and rhododendron-covered hills. Cross the famed Hillary Bridge and push upward through cloud-kissed trails into Namche Bazaar, the vibrant Sherpa capital nestled in a natural amphitheater. This lively mountain town buzzes with espresso cafes, gear shops, and the quiet strength of Everest veterans. As you catch your breath, the first glimpse of Mount Everest peeks from behind the ridges — a silent promise of what’s to come.
Wake early for a short hike to the Everest View Hotel — the world’s highest luxury lodge — where you’ll sip tea while gazing at Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Thamserku lined up like ancient kings. Then, the adventure turns airborne. A private helicopter whisks you above glaciers, icefalls, and ancient moraines, circling the mighty Everest Base Camp before briefly landing in the shadows of the tallest mountain on Earth.
