Amis Himalaya Adventure has planned the Everest Luxury Trek itinerary for a relaxed pace which is do-able for anyone of average fitness who can walk up to 6 hours a day. The schedule ensures ample time to acclimatize. The maximum altitude reached is under 5000 metres elevation and the maximum altitude at which we sleep is 4250 metres. This unhurried schedule allows plenty of time to take in the amazing surroundings, relax in the lodge gardens, explore the local Sherpa villages and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of high mountain life.

Your journey starts and ends in Kathmandu. A morning mountain flight with fantastic views of the Khumbu Mountains brings us to the small airstrip in Lukla, 2860m, from where our trek begins. We enter the homeland of the resilient Sherpa people who have inhabited this harsh and beautiful mountain region since long before any type of infrastructure arrived. Their sturdy stone houses are architecturally similar to the houses of their Tibetan ancestors. Endless Buddhist prayer flags, main stones and monasteries remind us the important role their ancient Tibetan Buddhist religion still plays in their lives.

After lunch in Lukla we set out for Phakding, 2601m. It is a leisurely 4-hour walk on a trail that was once an ancient trading route, as well as the route used by mountaineers who have come to the Khumbu region seeking the mighty Everest and other giants. The next day is another gentle hike to Monjo, 2840m, another tranquil spot where few tourists bother to stay because it is so close to Namche Bazaar.

There is a fairly long, steep climb to reach Namche Bazaar, 3340m, the capital of the Khumbu region and a surprisingly modern place in the middle of such a remote place. We spend two nights here to acclimatize and find that there are many places to explore. Namche sits on a horseshoe shaped valley that opens to a beautiful view of Kongde Ri. From a viewpoint just above Namche you get an amazing view of Everest, Lhotse and Ama Dablam.

We branch off the main Everest Base Camp trail onto a less traveled trail through pine forests to charming village of Thame, 3800m, the birthplace of Tenzing Norgay. There is a day hike to Sumdur Ridge, 4830m, for unforgettable views of giants including Cho Oyu.

The return trail to Lukla follows a new trail through rhododendron forests to Kongde, 4250m. Kongde is the high point of our Everest Luxury Trek and offers the most spectaculor view of Everest Lhotse and Ama Dablam. A day-hike to nearby Farak Ri offers an even more expansive view of five of the worlds highest mountains, Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho-Oyo, and Ama Dablam, Thamserku and many other peaks of Khumbu Valley.

We spend another night in Monjo on our way back down to Lukla where we get a return flight to Kathmandu.

This gentle Everest Luxury Trek is the perfect way to explore the culture and countryside of the Everest Himalaya. For the energetic, there are endless opportunities to take day hikes to remote monasteries and great lookout points, or for those who prefer to relax, there is no better place than surrounded by the comfort of Yeti Mountain Homes and the best scenery in the world.

Our Everest Luxury Trek begins and ends in Kathmandu our ancient capital city Amis Himalaya Adventure will provide a sightseeing tour of the historical and cultural monuments - the temples, shrines, gompas, stupas, bazaars and monuments which give a glimpse into the fascinating history of Nepal.
