Understandably, Mount Everest is what draws many travelers to Nepal. Everest Trekking in Nepal is one of the most demanded trekking package in Nepal.This makes the Khumbu Region, home of the world’s highest mountain, extremely popular with tourists. We have hand-picked the best lodges on the trails, where the highest standards of comfort are combined with prime locations that take you away from the trekking crowds at every possible opportunity.
This is a ten day trek, based on comfort lodges. Due to the altitude, trekking days are relatively short, making this an ideal trek for first-time trekkers and adventurous families. Apart from the spectacular mountain views, this trek offers immersion into the fascinating culture of the famous Sherpa and Tibetan people of the area.
Note that this route will not take you to Everest Base Camp. This is a shorter option, which can be expanded with camping or traditional teahouses.

Trip Details
All-time classic Everest trek
This is an all-time classic Everest trek itinerary, offering the finest Khumbu experience in the shortest time possible.
Our trip starts with the famous short flight to Lukla airport in the morning. Over the course of this week and a half, we walk through deep, lush valleys, cross spectacular suspension bridges, and climb rugged trails to visit ancient old Tibetan Buddhist monasteries.
Along the way we take time to explore the main villages and attractions, including Namche Bazaar, the main Sherpa trading center in the region, Khumjung with the famous Hillary School established in 1960, and Tengboche with its beautifully preserved Tibetan Buddhist Monastery.
We stay in the finest lodges available in the region. Considering the altitude and the remoteness of the area, small everyday conveniences such as hot showers and comfortable beds are a luxury here. You will of course be able to enjoy these services as well as en suite bathroom, heated beds, WiFi, beautiful gardens, 24/7 electricity, and wholesome meals. The lodges are committed to both their social and environmental responsibilities by hiring locally, heating water by solar power, responsible waste management and growing local and organic produce for food.
This is considered an easy trek by Himalayan standards, but do expect some fairly steep ascends and descends. You will be carrying your personal daypack with what you need while trekking (water, an extra jacket, sunscreen, snacks, etc.). Our porters will carry everything else.

Notes:
You can still go forward with your hiking plans if your flight to Lukla is cancelled. Depending on the situation, one alternative is to pick a different trekking route or destination that is more feasible
Choosing a trek that is less dependent on flights or other forms of transportation, or one that is longer or shorter, might be two examples of this. Similarly, you can reschedule your flight to Lukla for a different time. It might be necessary to make arrangements with your travel agency or reserve a different flight for this. In Lukla, flight cancellations are common, and it's important to keep in mind that the weather in the mountains might change unexpectedly. Guests will be responsible for paying for any additional days that are not included in the itinerary.
If bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances force you to cancel your trip to Lukla, you may want to look into other trekking possibilities in Nepal. The Annapurna, Langtang, and Manaslu regions are well-liked alternatives that provide a variety of trekking routes to accommodate different preferences and experience levels. The best way of action will ultimately rely on your specific circumstance, budget, and personal preferences. Being adaptable and willing to consider other possibilities, as well as having a backup plan in case of unforeseen difficulties, are always great ideas.
