Day 04
Trek from Phakding to Namche Bazaar(3,440m)
It will be an even more exciting day to start because we are going to Namche Bazaar, the hub. After breakfast, we will leave Phakding by disappearing into a pine forest. We will find the Dudh Koshi River's banks and plenty of suspension bridges ahead. It will bring us to Monjo, the entrance of Sagarmatha National Park.
We will officially begin our walk into the park by showing our permits. As we move further, we will catch a refreshing sight of Mt Everest and others for the first time. Our walk will keep progressing across bridges. The path is moderately uphill throughout the day. One last uphill from a suspension bridge around 2 miles long is more challenging. We will pass the steep path and reach Namche Bazaar. The town will give us a fantastic aura. Overnight in Namche.
Day 05
Acclimatization in Namche Bazaar
It will be the first acclimatization day of the Lobuche Peak itinerary. Namche, a happening town, is a perfect location for that. There will be no rush today to leave the city. We will have breakfast at ease.
After some time, we will visit nearby locations to make the day good. If you say, we will visit Everest View Hotel for breakfast. It is one of the world’s highest-placed hotels. We can observe intriguing glimpses of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam.

Day 06
Trek to Tengboche(3,867m)
Now, it is time to leave Namche’s busy ambiance for a more serene one. We will take an uphill, which brings us high along the valley. Using the valley wall, we will hike on a straight trail. During this part, we will catch picturesque and clear views of the peaks. Ama Dablam will be the best-viewed one.
After enough walking on the up, the trail will begin to go downwards. The walk to the valley floor will be through lush vegetation. Gradually, we will reach the banks of the Dudh Koshi River yet again. We will walk across another suspension bridge. The path winds upwards right after the bridge. The uphill will be the last part of the walk as it finishes in Tengboche.
The place is the resting place of Tengboche Monastery, the largest in the region. We can observe a fantastic mountain panorama from the village. In several words, it will be a great end to the day.
Day 07
Trek to Dingboche(4,410m)
After a blissful evening, we will have Dingboche next on the route. The walk is longer than the last day. Thus, after breakfast, we will take blessings from the monastery and leave. The walk begins by entering the woods of conifers, rhododendrons, and birch.
Then the path will head downwards for some time to take us to Imja River.

The upcoming part is slightly demanding, and we must climb for around 45 minutes to arrive at Thukla Pass. There will be no rush. We can take some time to make sure we avoid any altitude problems. Upon completing the climb, we will have eye-catchy mountains in front. Then our walk continues alongside the glacier to eventually end in Lobuche village. We will catch Mt Lobuche in the backdrop of the hamlet.
Day 09
Trek to Everest Base Camp(5,364m) and Back to Gorak Shep(5,125m)
It is one good day of trekking where we will leave Lobuche for the beautiful thing awaiting us. Our walk will go along the glacier. The path is straight, with several short steep parts. Overall, it will be a comfortable walk. With every step ahead, the pictures will turn more and more quaint. There is a memorial site for climbers who lost their lives in the mountains.
From the site, we will progress ahead. There will be several tricky sections of ice. Watching the trail, we will keep moving until we find Gorak Shep. We will have rest and food there.
The trek is still on. We will leave our heavy bags at our teahouse and hike towards Everest Base Camp, which is quite near. It will be a hike of around 4 hours round. Walking alongside and near the Khumbu glacier, we will move to our destination. The trail is rough and slippery.
Soon enough, we will reach Everest Base Camp, a landmark colored by prayer flags. We will spend some time taking in the place’s ambiance. Then we will return to Gorak Shep via the same trail. A joyous night in Gorak Shep it will be.
Day 10
Trek to Kala Patthar(5,540m) and Return to Lobuche(4,910m)
It is another exciting day of the Lobuche Peak itinerary. Early in the morning, we will move upwards to Kala Patthar. If we want to see the sunrise, we have to come early.

We will cross the Lobuche Glacier and find a mesmerizing view of Thamserku and Cholatse peak. The upward walk will continue again. We will finish the 6-7 hours walk by reaching the base camp of Lobuche Peak. Upon arriving there, we will rest and have lunch at our campsite.
Following that, we will begin our climbing training. Our climbing guide will help us with the training. We will practice using harnesses, climbing boots, ice axes, ropes, zoomers, and other gear to fuel our confidence. Later, after training, we will eat dinner and sleep in our camp.

Day 13
Lobuche Peak Expedition(6,119m) and Return to Base Camp
Our day will begin quite early, around 1-2 AM. The climb is long, and there can be strong wind on the top during noon. Hence, we have to reach the summit early. By following the footsteps of our Sherpa guide, we will approach Lobuche Peak’s summit.
We will use fixed ropes, ice axes, and other essential gear to climb upwards. There will be nothing to worry about as our guide will be ahead of us. Moving on steep and snowy ridges, we will take on the heights. We must climb a 45 degree sloped hill to reach Lobuche Peak’s summit.
We will do that and reach the top. What a lovely feeling it will be. The apex offers a panoramic view of the whole region. We will enjoy every second on the top. After this ecstatic summit, we will first descend back to high camp. Then we will go to Lobuche Base Camp. The whole process will take us around 8-9 hours. We will have a worthwhile rest.
Day 14
Trek to Pangboche(3,930m)
We will wake up as successful climbers of Lobuche East Peak. With a proud feeling, we will start the day’s walk to Pangboche. Our climb and all the memories before this day will reflect as we head downwards. The walk will commence with an easy descent from the base camp.
While we walk ahead, we will view Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Pokalde, Kantega, and other peaks. After the downhill, we will reach a forest of juniper and rhododendron trees. The forest is at its best in Spring with a colorful blanket of Rhododendron blossoms. Wandering via forests gently, we will reach Pangboche village, the village of Pangboche Monastery.

Trek to Lukla(2,800m)
Now we will be off from Namche Bazaar for Lukla. The trek will start with a rapid descent to the banks of the Dudh Koshi River. We will gradually reach the banks and then take a straight trail for a while.
The route will be the earlier one through forests of Sagarmatha National Park, sides of the Dudh Koshi Rivers, and several tiny sherpa villages. We will have a great walking time again on the trail.
