Discovery World Trekking would like to recommend all our valuable clients that they should arrive in Kathmandu a day earlier in the afternoon before the day we departed and start our Everest Base Camp Trek the next day, To make sure that you’ll attend our Official Briefing as an important Pre-meeting. The reason we do so is we want to make sure that you get proper mental guidance and necessary information just to have a recheck of equipment and goods for the journey to make sure you haven't forgotten anything and if forgotten, then make sure that you are provided with those things ASAP on that very day. This pre-meeting will give a clear idea about the necessary types of equipment and the challenges you may face in the trek, information about the climates and weather conditions, and emotional support by the officials which will be a kind of motivational seminar for you to be prepared and excited about the trek. Similarly, it is best to have at least 1 or 2 days extra cause the flight from Kathmandu to Lukla or from Lukla to Kathmandu might be canceled or delayed due to bad weather and that might make you miss your international flight back home.

Visit Everest Base Camp, heaven on earth. Nothing beats the thrill of seeing the elegance of mighty mountains up close. A journey that starts and ends with an awe-inspiring 45 minutes flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and vice versa, we will reach the starting hub of "Everest base Camp Expedition"- Lukla(2,840m/9,317 ft). Gearing up to walk towards Phakding (2,610 m/ 8,562 ft) through the Sherpa village(the entire Khumbu region is inhabited by Sherpa Community), farmland will be our first move there. Although our destination on that particular day would be Phakding, we’ll cross lots of villages and suspension bridges along the way. The views will be spectacular and depending upon the season, we’ll unlock many majestic views of the Himalayas which are technically the tip of the iceberg considering your final destination would be Everest Base Camp and Kalapatthar. The notable places between Lukla and Phakding are Chaurikharka, Chheplung, Nachipang, Koshigaun, and last but not least Ghat, Most of the villages mentioned here are higher than 2,500 m/8,202 ft above sea level and goes along with Dudh Koshi River , we’ll cross almost 4/5 Suspension bridge on this very itinerary making the 1st days an exciting one. The next day would be quite exciting as we’ll check in to Sagarmatha National park, again cross long suspension bridges, Have a glance at the Lowest possible Everest Viewpoint, walk around Thaktul Monastery (2,860 me/9,383 ft) and so many things. About 98% of the total houses around this area are used for local Restaurants and lodges, so one will already feel excited about the journey as we'll see so many locals and tourists having their own walk of life while we do our own. The popular stops between Phakding and Namche Bazar (3,440 m/11,286 ft) would be Tok Tok, Benkar, Jorsalle, and Monjo. All these villages have huge stones carved in Buddist language(which is actually called Mane & Chortens in the native Sherpa language which is there for good luck and well wishes for locals and travelers: it is said that one should always choose to walk the clockwise direction for good charm while crossing those carved stones as per traditional beliefs), thousands of prayer flags, Huge Prayer wheels (Rotating bells), and the chilling cold breeze of the river which just flows right by our trekking trails. It’s really exciting to see the increase in height of the suspension bridges the more we go towards our destination. There’s a place where we’ll see two suspension bridges hanging between the same Hill station, one after another which looks straight out of Sci-fi movies but it’s surreal as you can hear the current of the river flowing down there. we’ll also pass the incredible Hillary suspension bridge on our way to Namche Bazar where people tie prayer flags & Khata (a yellowish piece of cloth used in important events ). After a steep uphill trek to Namche Bazar in the dense green pine forest, which is quite a leap from 2,600 m/8,530 ft . so we’ll acclimatize one day at Namche Bazar and viewpoints around there. While acclimatizing, we’ll also visit places like the Sherpa museum (Which is run by a local photographer Sonam) where we’ll see traditional Sherpa Households, Art galleries and get a glance at the Sherpa lifestyle throughout history. We’ll also Visit fantastic places like the Highest altitude Airport (Syangboche Airport) Constructed in the History of Nepal (It’s closed for almost a decade now but the views are still amazing), Hillary School, Yak farm, Hotel Everest View (as they quote “Opened in 1971, Hotel Everest View has been listed on the Guinness Book of World Records (2004) as the Highest Placed Hotel in the world at 13,000ft.”) and The Famous Khumjung Monastery consists of the Extinct Yeti Scalp which is not something that one can find in any part of the world.
