You'll begin your trek with a gentle walk through Chaurikharka village, followed by a descent towards Dudhkoshi Ghat (2,530m/8,300ft).

Starting with a hearty breakfast in Phakding, we will set off on our trek to Namche Bazaar, the largest Sherpa village in Nepal. Our first challenge is to cross a long suspension bridge over the Dudh Koshi River, followed by a pleasant walk through a stunning pine forest that leads us to Monjo, around two hours away. As we approach the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park, we will undergo a brief permit check before continuing our descent to the Dudh Koshi River, where we will come across Mani stones. Afterward, we will stop for lunch in Jorsale before beginning our ascent to Namche Bazaar. On the way, we will cross two bridges, including the famous Hillary Suspension Bridge, and face a steep uphill climb. However, our efforts will be well worth it, as we will be rewarded with an incredible view of the majestic Everest from Namche Bazaar.

From here, you'll be able to soak in an incredible panoramic view of the Himalayas, with the mighty Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam taking center stage. Take some time to relax and enjoy a hot coffee before we continue our trek to the quaint Sherpa villages of Khunde and Khumjung. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the Khumjung Monastery, which is said to house the scalp of a Yeti. After exploring the villages, we'll make our way back to Namche via the small airstrip at Shyangboche.

The trail is not too challenging, with only a few steep ascents and descents, allowing you to focus on getting the perfect shot. Along the way, you will encounter many beautiful sights, including stupas, prayer flags, mani walls, and majestic mountains like Ama Dablam.
As you approach Tengboche Monastery, the trail becomes dusty and switches back. However, the panoramic views from the monastery make the trek well worth it. If you are fortunate, you may even be able to attend a service and light some butter lamps, for which a small donation is appreciated. Don't forget to capture some photographs of this spiritual and serene location.
After breakfast at Tengboche, we begin our descent towards the Dudh Koshi River. The trail takes us through rhododendron and pine forests with stunning views of the mountains. We cross the suspension bridge over the Dudh Koshi River and trek through several small villages before reaching the village of Monjo where we will be spending the night.
Monjo is a peaceful village with a few teahouses and shops. Take some time to explore the village and interact with the locals. You can also visit the nearby Monjo School, a project established to provide education for the children of the local community. Enjoy a hearty dinner and a good night's sleep as we prepare for the next day's trek back to Lukla.
Today marks the final day of the trek as we make our way back to Lukla. We’ll start early, retracing our steps along the Dudh Kosi River, passing through several villages and crossing over the suspension bridges we’ve become familiar with. The trek is mostly downhill, and we’ll take our time to enjoy the scenery and soak up the last bit of mountain air. We’ll stop for lunch in one of the villages along the way and continue on to Lukla, where we’ll have a chance to celebrate the completion of our trek with our guide and porters. Overnight in Lukla.
