Day 3
Trek to Namche Bazaar Continue trekking along the banks of the Dudh Kosi, crossing this majestic river many times on suspension bridges laden with prayer flags.

Day 4
Namche Bazaar acclimatization day
You will spend the day at Namche Bazaar in order to acclimatize and adjust to the thinning of the air, as well as make a short trek to a museum that celebrates the traditional customs of the Sherpa people.

Day 5
Trek to Tengboche Monastery
The trek continues along the rushing glacial waters of the Dudh Kosi with magnificent views of the mountains. Upon arrival in Tengboche, you can visit a local monastery full of incredibly ornate wall hangings, a 20-foot sculpture of Buddha, and the musical instruments and robes of the lamas. You’ll have the opportunity to observe a prayer ceremony either in the evening or morning, depending on how the day unfolds.
Day 6
Trek to Dingboche
From Tengboche the trail drops to Debuche, crosses another exciting suspension bridge on the Imja Khola, and climbs to Pangboche, among thousands of mani stones. Farther down the trail is the quaint traditional Sherpa village of Dingboche, with its exquisite views of Lhotse, Island Peak, and Ama Dablam.

Day 9 Trek to Everest Base Camp (17,598 feet) Another big and difficult day—the trek to Everest Base Camp takes you the closest you can get to the world’s highest peak without mountaineering equipment.

Day 10 Trek to Kala Patthar (18,225 feet)
