Trip briefing and Sightseeing
Fly to Lukla and trek to Phakding
This Fresh early morning we embark upon a scenic flight to Lukla, the gateway to the Khumbu. This mountain flight to Lukla is filled with beautiful and dramatic landscapes and is considered to be a beautiful air route that you can fly over. In Lukla our staff, porters and other crew members will go through packing arrangements. Then, we will finally embark on our journey through a colorful and prosperous village of Lukla to Phakding. We move into clean and simple lodges where we can call it a day.
Trek to Namche Bazaar
We trek from Phakding Village to Namche Bazaar, the main center of Sagarmatha National Park. This will be one of the toughest trekking days in terms of the hike as you climb around 1200 meters. We will then cross the confluence of the Dudh Kosi and the Bhote Kosi on a high suspension bridge and then climb steeply for about two hours up ‘Namche Hill’ to reach Namche Bazaar. At the end of the day, you will find yourself in the busiest village of the trip.
Rest and acclimatisation
While acclimatizing in Namche we hike to the Everest viewpoint where we can see Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and many other peaks. After a short break for coffee and tea we will visit Khumjung and have lunch there before returning to Namche. This will allow our bodies to become acclimatised better to altitudes above Namche Bazaar.
Trek to Diboche
You must have acclimatized by now and also attuned to the Himalayas and Sherpa way of life. Therefore, we can proceed to move closer to the Sagarmatha through the infamous national park as Dudh Kosi would continue to enchant us on our way. The trail gets flatter as we get out of Namche Bazaar. After about 6 km the trail begins to ascent. After about 3 km more we would be at the gate of Tengboche monastery, the largest and the most famous in the whole Khumbu region. After a visit to the monastery, we will continue the downhill walk to our rest for the night, Diboche village. Diboche is warmer, therefore, we will skip Tengboche and we will stay in Dibuche instead.
Trek to Dingboche
We’re going to take a long walk above the valley with everything we love all around – the stunning views of Everest and many other peaks! This hike gets us closer to mountain as it sits right in front of you for the whole day.
Trek to Chhukung
Rest day and Acclimatisation (Chhukung Ri 5,546m)
Trek to Island peak base camp
Summit day
Summit and back to Chhukung
Trek to Pangboche
Trek to Namche Bazaar
We move forward through a downhill trail to Namche. You walk the same route to reach Namche Bazaar so it will be more like a revision of the scenery around but heavenly views of peaks like Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, etc.
After few hours of hiking on the uphill and downhill trails, you’ll be back in Namche Bazaar. Otherwise, you can explore more sights in Namche if anything had passed you by earlier. And also, there are plenty of shops where you can pick up souvenirs for family or friends.

Why ACE ?
Alpinist Climber Expeditions has become known for its pure alpine style expedition expertise, 1:1 private guiding with an IFMGA mountain guide, and high-quality service throughout the trip. With over a decade of experience in mountaineering expedition planning and coordination, we ensure that each expedition is a success with the best possible experience for our climbers while focusing on our three primary goals of reaching the summit, returning safely, and having fun! Our top concern is always safety.
Many operators make claims about their services that are frequently designed to confuse consumers or avoid being insufficiently competent in dealing with serious and essential issues. When you’re out there, the chances of summiting are significantly increased if you have a strong and experienced leader on your side, as well as a sufficient contingent of Sherpa staff.
The Alpinist Climber Expeditions method to organizing expeditions is founded on our philosophy, which is reflected in the quality and safety of the expeditions we manage, as well as our consistently high success rate.
