Trekking to Namche Bazaar from Lukla via Phakding

You can directly reach Lukla from Namche Bazaar during the return trip after the successful visit to Everest Base Camp (EBC). However, trekking to Namche Bazaar from Lukla is not highly advised. Thus, trekkers spend overnight in Phakding Village (2600 m) which is about 200 m less than Lukla. The biggest trick to survive in high-altitude places is to reach higher places and trek to low-altitude place to spend overnight. The trail from Phakding to Namche Bazaar passes through lots of villages like Monjo and Benker. The major highlights of this section’s trekking are crossing suspension bridges including the famous Hillary Twin Bridge located at the foothill of Namche Bazaar, entering Sagarmatha National Park, and getting the first glimpse of Mt. Everest, the roof of the world's. Do you know that bungee Jump is possible in the Everest? Yes, you can enjoy Bungee Jump in Hillary Bridge which is newly in operation.

When do I get to see Mt. Everest during the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Upon crossing the Hillary Twin Bridge, trekkers have to take the winding uphill trail all the way to Namche Bazaar. After walking for about an hour from bridge, trekkers reach the resting place area where you can find toilets. If the weather is clear, you can spot the breathtaking scenery of Nuptse Wall and Mt. Everest. It is highly dependent on the weather conditions.

You don’t see Mt. Everest from Namche Bazaar. Relish the chance to witness outstanding scenery of mountains like Kwangde, Kusum Kangaru, and Thamserku while staying in this famous Sherpa heartland marketplace. In fact, the town is the last commercial town in the Everest Base Camp Trekking route. There are various eateries, tea houses, resorts, local houses, souvenir shops, banks, bars, and bakeries where you can enjoy the evening either on a first day or after acclimatization activities. In addition, trekkers further spend a night in this town while returning back to Lukla from Everest Base Camp.

Is it necessary to do acclimatization hike to Everest View Hotel?

Acclimatization ensures safe trekking and reduces the chances of AMS (Altitude Mountain Sickness). The trekking places beyond Namche Bazaar is above 3500 m from sea level. Therefore, it is mandatory for all to do acclimatization activities. Doing an acclimatization is necessary but to make it more momentous trekking to the Everest View Hotel (3880 m) is essential. The scenery of mountains seen from the balcony of the tea house is mesmerizing. Rejoice the sip of coffee overlooking mountains like Cholatse, Tabuche, Amadablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Thamserku, and Everest. The trail from Namche Bazaar to Everest View Hotel is through Syangboche Airport. The trail passes through small bushy forests and grassy meadows.

Tengboche Monastery and Sherpa Festivals of Khumbu

Tengboche Village is the major spiritual village on the EBC Trek trail. The monastery present in the village is the most significant one as it hosts Sherpa’s two of the biggest festivals. They are Dumji and Mani Rimdu Festival. Every year, in November the monastery hosts an amazing colorful festival of Mani Rimdu for three days inside the monastery. Besides the Mani Rimdu Festival, the region celebrates the birthday of Guru Rinpoche on the lotus flower year. Usually, the festival falls in the month of May or June.

Why do I need to spend two nights in Dingboche Village?

Doing a hike to Everest View Hotel (3880 m) prepares your body to adjust in the places above 3500 m and below 4200 m from sea level. The total altitude gain after the first acclimatization activity is about 1000 m from sea level. Beyond altitude of 4400 m there are places above 5000 m. You will be staying overnight in places like Gorakshep (5180 m). However, the highest point on the Everest Base Camp Trekking in Nepal is 5545 m from sea level. The hiking of Nagarshan Hill (5100 m) prepares you well for a safe trekking trip beyond Dingboche. Therefore, you need to spend two nights in Dingboche Village.

How long does it take to reach Everest Base Camp from Gorakshep?

It takes about 1.5 hours to 2 hours to reach the Everest Base Camp from Gorakshep. The trekking trail is rugged and has many rocky pebbles. The presence of large boulders makes it hard for the trekkers to walk easily. Moreover, the trail is beside the Khumbu glacier. It requires meticulous walking and well planning to reach the Everest Base Camp from Gorakshep. Please note that there are no tea houses and lodges in the Everest Base Camp. During climbing season, you can spot many tents of Everest Climbers but the Everest Trekkers are not allowed to camp and stay in the Everest Base Camp. So, overall, it takes about 5 to 6 hours including the time spent in the base camp to do a roundtrip of Gorakshep Everest Base Camp Hike.

What is the altitude of Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar?

The altitude of Everest Base Camp is 5364 m and the altitude of Kalapathar is 5545 m from sea level. Kalapather hike from Gorakshep is a must-do for the best Everest view.

It is hard to climb Kalapathar for sunrise in Everest?

Imagine walking uphill from 5180 m to 5545 m up in the Himalayas after continuous walking in high-altitude places for about 7 to 8 days continuously! In addition, hiking to Kalapathar top starts at around 4 am in the morning. Therefore, the Kalapathar Hike for sunrise in Everest is fairly difficult. The scenery of mountains and chance to knit the best Himalayan sunrise experience in an abode of the world’s tallest mountain Mt. Everest.

Can I see Mt. Everest from Everest Base Camp?

No, you can’t see Mt. Everest from the Everest Base Camp. However, in order to see Mt. Everest while trekking from Gorakshep to Everest Base Camp, we will have to stop at about 200 m from Everest Base Camp. There is a ridge from where you can get splendid scenery of Mt. Everest along with the mountains of Tibet. Don’t expect to see Mt. Everest from Everest Base Camp (5364 m).

Where can I book a family-friendly Everest Base Camp Trek package in Nepal?

Additional Info

Everest Base Camp Trek difficulty level

The EBC Trek, also known as the classical Everest Base Camp Trek, is a famous route in the Everest Trekking region. This two-week expedition takes you to the highest trekking points at Everest Base Camp (5364 m/17598.43 ft) and Kalapather (5550 m/18208.66 ft), through different climates and terrains. The Everest Base Camp trek is generally classified as moderately strenuous in terms of distance, elevation gain, trail condition, duration, walking hours, and fitness requirements. While prior trekking experience is not necessary, it is crucial to be physically fit and adequately prepared before embarking on this adventure. If you are planning to trek to Everest Base Camp soon, it is highly recommended that you do some preparation beforehand. This may include doing some cardio exercises that can be conveniently performed at home.

Everest Base Camp Trekking Season

The Himalayan Trekking Path offers the opportunity to undertake the Everest Base Camp trek at any time of the year. Every season presents its own distinct experiences, and we can provide you with comprehensive information about the seasons and their highlights. Just let us know your preferred time, and we will be happy to assist you in making your dream journey a reality.

Autumn Season: September to November

Autumn is the perfect time to embark on the Everest Base Camp Trek, just like in other parts of Nepal. During this season, the amount of rainfall decreases, making way for sunny days that bring out the vibrant greenery at lower altitudes and clear skies above. The climate is generally pleasant, with warm temperatures and stable weather conditions prevailing. This period offers an excellent opportunity to witness the breathtaking Himalayan ranges and immerse oneself in the beauty of lush green valleys. Typically, during this time of year, tea houses are frequently fully booked due to the high number of tourists on the trail. Occasionally, you may experience congestion along the route. If you are considering embarking on the Everest trek, it is advisable to make your reservations in advance to secure accommodations at the tea houses along the trail.

Spring season: March to May

Spring, the second most favored trekking season in Nepal after autumn, presents breathtaking views of blossoming landscapes and lush greenery along the lower elevation of the Everest Base Camp Trek route. The journey is adorned with picturesque Himalayan vistas as a backdrop. During this season, the days are longer and the weather remains stable. Even at the base camp, the temperature is relatively mild. If you prefer traveling in pleasant temperatures with extended daylight hours, make sure to book your trip for this season.

Winter Season: December to February

If you're looking for peace, the Everest Base Camp trek is perfect during the winter. It's recommended to undertake this trek between December and February for a serene experience. If the weather is good, you can expect an experience similar to peak seasons. Since winter is considered Nepal's off-season, you'll receive excellent treatment wherever you go. However, it's important to note that rain, snowfall, clouds, storms, and flight cancellations are common during this period. We invite you to join us on a winter trek if you have enough time and the right gear.

Monsoon: June to August

The Everest Base Camp Trek during the monsoon season can be quite challenging. The cloudy sky often leads to frequent flight cancellations between Kathmandu and Lukla, making it difficult to reach the trailhead. Additionally, the trail itself becomes slippery and wet, adding to the overall discomfort. The experience greatly depends on the weather conditions; if the weather is favorable, you can expect a rewarding journey. However, if the weather turns bad, you may be disappointed with limited views and potential flight delays. Nevertheless, if you have sufficient time and the right gear, we are here to accompany you throughout the trek.

The lodge, situated along the Everest base camp trail, provides a charging facility that operates 24 hours a day, barring any unforeseen circumstances. While hydroelectricity is accessible at lower elevations, only solar power is available at higher altitudes.

We strongly recommend organizing all the necessary equipment to ensure safety and preparedness for any unforeseen weather conditions. From selecting suitable attire to packing essential items, it is essential to make proper arrangements. For detailed information, please refer to the provided link here.

We strongly recommend anyone planning to undertake the Everest Base Camp Trek to select a knowledgeable trekking guide and travel company for an unparalleled trekking experience. In case you decide not to avail yourself of a comprehensive package for the Everest Base Camp Trek, we urge you to consider the assistance of a professional guide to ensure safety and an exceptional journey.

Typically, one porter is assigned to assist two trekkers, with a maximum weight limit of 18 kilograms per porter. We strongly recommend considering the porter service during your trekking adventure to Everest Base Camp in Nepal.
