Everest Three Base Camp trek route

After an early breakfast on the third day morning, you will take a 35 min flight to Lukla. This flight and landing in Lukla are considered one of the most enduring, jaw-dropping flights in the world. After a short break, you will start the long waited Everest three base camp trek in the Himalayas. Your trek starts by descending the river bank of Dudhkoshi river and trekking upstream to Phakding. This day is short as compared to other days as you have to acclimatize to the high altitude and terrain.

After morning breakfast we start our journey to Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa Capital. This day is longer than the earlier day. During the trek to Namche Bazaar, you will see the first glimpse of The mighty Everest for the first time on a clear day.
