Plan for an evening briefing on last minute details regarding your trek, followed by an early light out at the hotel, as you have a big day ahead.
Lukla is the gateway to the Everest region. In the morning, you will drive by private vehicle to Kathmandu Domestic Airport to take a flight to Lukla, which lasts approximately 40 minutes. During December, January, February, June, July, and August, you can fly directly from Kathmandu to Lukla.
However, during the peak trek seasons of March, April, May, October, and November, flights to Lukla may operate from Ramechhap/Manthali instead of Kathmandu due to increased traffic congestion. To catch a flight from Ramechhap, you must leave Kathmandu and head to Manthali around 12:30 a.m. on your scheduled departure date, as the drive takes approximately five (5) hours. The flight from Ramechhap to Lukla takes approximately 20 minutes.
We recommend adding an extra day at the start of your trip to avoid an early morning wake-up, especially after a long international flight during peak season. Arriving in Kathmandu one day earlier will allow you to relax. The following day, you can take a bus from Kathmandu to Ramechhap/Manthali, which takes about 5-6 hours, or opt for a private vehicle for a shorter travel time but at a higher cost. This option would require an overnight stay at a hotel in Manthali, adding one extra day to your itinerary.
To avoid the Kathmandu-Manthali-Lukla route, you can charter a helicopter from Kathmandu to Lukla for approximately 550 USD per person when shared among five passengers.
Lukla is situated beneath the Naulekh Himal (6240m) and Kongde Ri (6187m). It is a Sherpa town with a small airstrip called Tenzing-Hillary Airport, named after the late conqueror of Mt. Everest. From Lukla, we will embark on our trek along a gentle, gradual path, passing through charming Sherpa villages. Our journey will first take us to Chheplung (2660 meters), followed by a crossing of the Thado Koshi River (2540 meters) via a suspension bridge. From the bridge, we will enjoy impressive views of Mt. Kusum Kanguru (6367m). We will continue to the Buddhist village of Ghat before reaching our overnight stop at Phakding (2640m), located near the Dudh Kosi River. The trek will take approximately 3 to 4 hours, covering 6.2 kilometers.
This 7.4 km trek takes about 6 to 7 hours. We begin our trek along the northern banks of the Dudh Koshi River, crossing several suspension bridges along the way. The trail takes us through Toc Toc, Benker, Chumoa, and Monjo. We will reach the Sagarmatha National Park Check Post, Jorsalle Village, and the Hillary Suspension Bridge as we hike. This impressive double suspension bridge, often called the “Windy Bridge,” hangs at a dizzying height above the Dudh Kosi River, marking the point where the “real mountains” begin.
If you're interested in an adrenaline rush, you can opt to go bungy jumping from the Lower Hillary Bridge, though this will be at your own expense as it's not included in our program.
After crossing the bridge, we ascend through a thick, dense forest. From this forest, you'll get your first glimpse of Mt. Everest. However, we will push further to reach Namche Bazaar, a renowned Sherpa town often referred to as the capital of the Sherpa people. We will stay overnight at a hotel in Namche Bazaar.
Today, we will hike to the Everest View Hotel via Syangboche Airport, where we can enjoy stunning views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest (8848m), Lhotse (8516m), Ama Dablam (6856m), Thamserku (6608m), Kangtega (6979m), Mount Kusum Khangaru (6367m), Kongde (6011m), Tawoche Peak (6367m), Cholatse (6335m), Imja Tse (Island Peak) (6179m), and Khumbila, also known as the God of Khumbu (5761m). We will spend the night at a teahouse in Khumjung village.
The trek descends to the Imja Tse River at Phunge-Tenga (3313m) and then uphill through rhododendron and pine forests, culminating in a visit to the famous Tengboche Monastery, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery of the Sherpa community. The monastery is the largest gompa in the Khumbu region of Nepal. It offers panoramic views of Mount Everest (8848m), Nuptse (7861m), Lhotse (8516m), Kangtega (6979m), Thamserku (6608m), Kwangde Ri (6187m), and Ama Dablam (6856m). Overnight at the teahouse in Tengboche.
The trek begins with a descent to the Imja Tse River, followed by a steep climb for approximately an hour to reach Sanasa. After that, the path becomes more gradual, featuring a series of short ups and downs as you make your way to Namche Bazaar. The journey continues with a descent into the Dudh Kosi river valley, ultimately leading to Monjo village. Overnight at the teahouse in Monjo.
The trek follows the main Everest Base Camp route, passing through Chumoa, crossing the Dudh Kosi River, and reaching Lukla, the Khumbu Valley's domestic airport. Overnight stay at a teahouse in Lukla.
However, during peak season, flights usually go to Ramechhap Airport in Manthali instead. The flight time from Lukla to Kathmandu is approximately 40 minutes, while the flight to Manthali takes about 20 minutes. The drive from Manthali to Kathmandu takes 5 to 6 hours by private vehicle and 6 to 7 hours by bus. Overnight at a hotel in Kathmandu.
If you are not interested, it can be removed from the itinerary and those shortening that program by one day.
After breakfast, join our tour guide to explore Kathmandu Valley’s cultural and historical UNESCO World Heritage sites. We’ll begin at Boudhanath, home to the impressive Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest Buddhist shrines in the world, where you can witness Buddhist monks in prayer. Next, we’ll visit Pashupatinath, Nepal’s most revered Hindu temple, along the sacred Bagmati River. At this site, you will see Hindu holy men (sadhus) meditating, pilgrims bathing in the river, and occasionally, funeral pyres burning on the ghats, highlighting the blend of spirituality and tradition. Our journey continues to Kathmandu Durbar Square, where you’ll marvel at the temple of Goddess Kumari and learn about the captivating legends of the valley. Overnight at a hotel in Kathmandu.
Our airport representative will drop you off at Kathmandu International Airport for your outward journey.

Cost of packages for the Everest Region.
The cost of trekking packages in the Everest Region varies based on several factors, including trek duration, the number of trekkers, whether the trip is private or on a group basis and whether you choose a budget or luxury experience, the season, porter service requirements, but guides are an integral part of this trek. The modes of transportation and types of accommodation also vary. The Everest Region has several accommodation facilities: Tea Houses, Guest Houses, and Hotels. All the rooms have twin-sharing arrangements during the journey, so you must share them with other trekkers. You may, however, reserve a separate room, but it will be more expensive. Prices for these treks generally range from 1450 USD to 2000 USD for the Everest View Trek and 1900 USD to 3000 USD for the Everest Base Camp Trek per person (based on a single person) and higher for longer treks. For luxury packages, the price could be double. Also, the larger your group, the lower the per-person cost, as some costs could be shared, like transportation by private vehicle or accommodation.
TMT specializes in all-inclusive trekking packages from Kathmandu, some with heritage sightseeing tours. Depending on accommodation, these packages can be budget-friendly adventures or luxurious getaways. We can also provide individually tailored packages to match your interests and preferences. Don't hesitate to contact the TMT team for a personalized quote based on your itinerary and preferred options.
The cost of these all-inclusive packages typically includes transportation from and to the international airport from your hotel, accommodation at the hotels in Kathmandu and in local lodges or guesthouses, meals (except lunch and dinner in Kathmandu), and the services of a licensed trekking guide and porter. We also include the cost of all necessary permits, such as the Sagarmatha National Park Permit, the Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit, the Trekking Permit (TIMS), and all the applicable local taxes. Please refer to the Included/Excluded Services and Items section for details.
Using an agency like TMT offers numerous benefits that make your trip much more comfortable. When you book a trek package with us, you won't have to worry about where to go, how to get there, or finding a place to stay overnight, especially during peak seasons. Traveling with a licensed local guide is also significantly safer. Do you have experience with high-altitude trekking? Are you familiar with how to recognize the signs of high-altitude sickness and how to manage it? By choosing TMT, the trek becomes a shared responsibility between you and the agency.
Where does the money you pay to the agency go? Almost all of it goes "back to the mountain," so to speak. Only a tiny fraction is spent on office expenses.

The Everest View Trek is considered a moderate-level trek because it involves walking at high altitude with several uphill and downhill sections. Daily trekking usually requires around 4 to 7 hours of walking depending on the route and destination.
