Iternary:
Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu
Flying to Kathmandu along the northern border of Nepal on a clear day is in itself an exciting and memorable experience as exotic panoramic view of snow-capped Annapurna mountain range peaks sprawls before you.The Nepali support team will meet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel.
Day 2: Kathmandu - Lukla, Trek to Phakding
A spectacular flight and hair raising landing on a steep mountain runway brings us to the start of our trek at the village of Lukla [9350ft]. After meeting the crew, we head up the Dudh Kosi Valley on a well-marked trail to Phakding.(8700ft)
Day 3: Trek to Namache (11318 ft)

Day 4: Rest Day in Namche (11,318ft)
Namche is tucked away between two ridges amidst the giant peaks of the Khumbu and has an abundance of lodges, tea shops and souvenir shops as well as a magnificent outlook. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day, acclimatizing to the new altitude before heading off towards Tengboche.Options for acclimatization walks include a visit to Khunde hospital which was set-up by Sir Edmund Hillary, or a one hour walk up to the Everest view hotel above Namche for the sunset view of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest. There are also good views from the national park centre and museum just above the town.
