Next day after having breakfast we take a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla of about 40 min scenic flight has fantastic views of amazing mountains.

We will have view of Mt Nupla (5885m) Kusum Kangaru (6367m), the Mount Kwongde Range and finally rest overnight at the village of Phakding (2610m).

This is a long day tough hike to Namche Bazaar due to the rough path and higher altitude. From Phakding the trail follows the Dudh Koshi valley north. After passing through the Sagarmatha National Park entrance, the trail passes through the village of Jorsale. Villages are interspersed with magnificent forests of Rhododendron, Magnolia and fir. It’s a beautiful walk within this alpine environment, where you’ll traverse the river on long suspension bridges. You will have your first glimpse of Kusum Kangru (6369m), Thamserku (6608m), Everest (8848m) and Nuptse (7879 m). Climb to Namche, 3 miles in distance which takes about 3 to 4 hours, almost all uphill. Namche bazaar will offer spectacular views and a comfortable place to spend the night.

After a short steep climb out of Namche Bazaar, we will walk on a fairly level trail to the villages of Kenjuma and Shanasha. The trail descends to the level of the Dudh Koshi River passing a few hamlets and crossing several bridges. Take some rest in Phunki Thanga and stock up on water for next one and a half hour climb to Tengboche. Visit the Buddhist Monastery at Tengboche, the largest in Khumbu region. From the view point at the top of the hill, there are breathtaking views of distinctive peaks like Amadablam (6856m), Mt. Everest (8848m), Nuptse (7861m), Lhotse (8501m) and others of Himalayan giants.

Retrace the journey back to Shanasha, where the trail from Khumjung, Gokyo and to Namche meets. We walk up for about 2 hours on level path to reach the village of Khumjung. Khumjung Valley is one of the oldest and largest Sherpa settlements in the Khumbu region (Everest region). Khumjung village development committee which include Khunde, Khumjung, Tyangboche, Pangboche, Pheriche, Dole, Machhermo, Lobuche, Dingboche, Gokyo and some small town. The valley is enclosed by the snowy peaks of Kongde and Thamserku. We can take a take a short hike up to the monastery to view the yeti “scalp” at the Khumjung monastery.

It is easy working day with magnificent views of surroundings. After Namche Bazaar the trail descends steeply back to Dudh Koshi River. The trail is easier now and we can enjoy a gentle walk on the trail Jorsalle. We will work though the forest of magnolia, giant firs and rhododendrons with the view of distance snow covered peak arriving Phakding.  Phakding is a crowed place but better for your overnight settlement.

It will be just a 3hr easy and gentle trail back to Lukla. The trail drops steeply and runs level throughout the day. Enjoying the lush green scenery around and passing through the incredible mountain scenery and local Sherpa village arrival in Lukla. You'll have time to stroll around the local areas.
