2

Day 02

Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar

Trek through villages, forests, and suspension bridges as you climb to Namche Bazaar, the main Sherpa hub of the region. This is one of the bigger ascent days.

Spend the day adjusting to the altitude. You can explore Namche and enjoy early views of Everest and nearby peaks.

Acclimatization Day in Dingboche

Another rest and acclimatization day to help your body adapt before heading higher. This is important for a safer and more comfortable ascent.
7

Day 07

High-Altitude Trek to Lobuche

Trek higher into the Khumbu region with increasingly dramatic mountain scenery. The air gets thinner, and the landscape becomes more barren and glacial.
