Today, we take to the skies destined for Lukla (2780m), the gateway to Everest Base Camp. As we land, the journey unfolds with the assistance of porters to carry your belongings, providing you the opportunity to witness the charming Sherpa settlement of Choplung. Following the path along the Dudh Koshi River valley, we pass through Ghat (2530m). The trail gently ascends, leading us to our day's final destination, the tranquil village of Phakding. Here, against the backdrop of the Himalayas, we settle in for the night.
Following a hearty breakfast, our journey takes us through the enchanting pine forest alongside the Dudh Koshi River. Crossing several suspension bridges and passing Sherpa settlements like Benkar, Manjo, and Jorsole, the trail leads to a serene viewpoint where the majestic Mt. Thamserku (6618 m) unfolds before you, just after the check post.
Continuing along the Dudh Koshi riverbed, you'll reach the confluence of the Bhote Koshi and Dudh Koshi rivers, offering a captivating panorama of Mt. Everest and the Nuptse-Lhotse ridge. After a thrilling 3-hour ascent through the breathtaking pine forest, our destination is Namche Bazaar—a vibrant trading and administrative hub. Overnight, find comfort at a lodge in Namche Bazaar, surrounded by the Himalayan allure.
Today, in Namche Bazaar, we prioritize acclimatization to adapt to the altitude of 3,440 meters. Following advice from both acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) experts and health professionals, an additional night is recommended for our well-being.
During our day in Namche Bazaar, we embark on a fascinating tour of Sagarmatha (Everest) National Park. This allows us to immerse ourselves in Sherpa culture while gaining insights into the diverse flora and fauna of the Everest region. An optional side trip takes us to the historic Sherpa village of Khumjung, offering breathtaking views of Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Khaantaiga, Mt. Everest, and more.
Today's hike to Sherpa villages like Kunde and Khumjung, coupled with a visit to the highest-placed hotel, Everest View, provides not only a rich experience of Sherpa culture but also stunning views of Everest and the surrounding mountains. This excursion aids in adjusting to higher altitudes and achieving better acclimatization. We return to Namche Bazaar for a comfortable overnight stay.
Embarking on an enthralling journey today, we trek to Everest Base Camp through a less-traveled route, unveiling the hidden treasures of the charming Sherpa village of Phortse. This unique path not only promises diverse landscapes but also introduces the enchantment of lesser-explored Sherpa settlements, offering a more intimate and enriching experience.
Our adventure kicks off from Namche as we follow the Gokyo lakes route, immersing ourselves in breathtaking vistas. A night in Phortse, nestled in the heart of Khumbu, adds an authentic touch to our expedition before reaching Dingboche. The itinerary strategically incorporates two nights in both Namche Bazaar and Dingboche, allowing ample time to absorb local culture and acclimatize to the altitude.
The Phortse village route boasts stunning views of Thamserku and Amadablam, providing a less crowded alternative to the regular route. On our return journey, after experiencing Everest Base Camp and the Lobuche summit, we take the Tengboche route.
Embarking on another splendid day from our cozy Sherpa lodge in Phortse Village, your journey commences around 7:30 AM. The trail from Phortse to Dingboche unfolds breathtaking views of the Khumbu valley, with the Imja Khola river flowing gracefully and the Tengboche Monastery standing prominently against the backdrop of Thamserku at 21,680 feet.
After approximately 3 hours of trekking, you'll arrive at the captivating Sherpa village of Pangboche, where a delightful lunch awaits. Your expert local Sherpa guide will lead you to one of the oldest monasteries in the Himalayas, a sacred structure with a history dating back 400 years, holding immense religious and cultural significance for the Sherpa community. Pangboche's charm extends to its traditional Sherpa houses, showcasing the architectural essence of the region.
Following a well-deserved break, your journey continues towards Dingboche, nestled at an elevation of 4,410 meters (14,469 feet). This leg of the trek involves a gain in elevation of approximately 543 meters (1,785 feet).
Just before reaching Dingboche, you'll encounter the quaint village of Shomare. This picturesque settlement provides stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, with the majestic Ama Dablam taking center stage. The sight of these grand peaks against the canvas of clear blue skies offers a moment to pause, reflect, and capture the timeless beauty of the Himalayas.
Today marks a crucial day for acclimatization, offering a balance between rest and engaging activities. A perfect opportunity unfolds to explore the village, interact with friendly locals, and gain profound insights into their lifestyles, traditions, and culture.
Strolling through the village, we absorb breathtaking landscapes — majestic mountains, picturesque valleys, and pristine beauty — providing a visual feast and a chance to appreciate the wonders of the Himalayas. This tranquil setting also invites moments of relaxation, perfect for unwinding and catching up on reading amidst the serene surroundings.
The highlight of the day features a guided excursion led by our experienced Sherpa guide to Nagarjuna Peak, standing impressively at nearly 5,100 meters (16,733 feet). This hike not only treats us to stunning panoramic views but also aids in the vital acclimatization process.
Starting our ascent from the ridge north of the village, Nagarjuna Peak unfolds unparalleled vistas of the world's highest mountains. Majestic peaks like Lhotse, Makalu, and Cho Yu dominate the horizon, while Cholatse (6,440 meters/21,126 feet) and Taboche (6,542 meters/21,463 feet) grace the western side. Our Sherpa guide ensures safety and provides insights into the local environment, making this excursion both awe-inspiring and informative. A packed lunch fuels our energy, allowing us to savor a satisfying meal amidst the pristine surroundings.
Following the sunrise, we ascend to a small point at the rear of the village, overlooking the Pheriche Valley. From this vantage point, the majestic Tawoche and Cholatse (6440m) captivate us, seemingly leaning forward across the valley in the west. Turning our gaze northward, Lobuche Peak (6119m) and the snowfields of Cho La command attention. The terrain becomes predominantly flat, crossing wide-open fields, yet it's crucial to stay well-hydrated.
Our path leads us to the Khumbu Khola at Dughla (4620m), where we traverse the river and enjoy a light lunch at the base of the immense terminal moraines of the Khumbu Glacier. The panoramic view unfolds with Pumori (7145m) dominating the scene, and across the Tibetan border, Changtse (7550m) graces the horizon. Simultaneously, Everest disappears behind the colossal walls of Nuptse and Lhotse, creating a dramatic and awe-inspiring backdrop.
Today unfolds a remarkable journey as we venture to the renowned Everest Base Camp, situated at a lofty elevation of 17,500 feet (5,334 meters). This day offers a glimpse into the challenging life of Everest climbers who reside at Base Camp and above for extended periods.
As we hike up the glacial moraine towards Base Camp, the reality sets in, distinctly different from cinematic portrayals. The challenges of living at altitude become tangible, and Everest Base Camp reveals itself as a famous yet temporary habitat nestled among glacial boulders and ice on the upper Khumbu Glacier.
While the full grandeur of the Khumbu Icefall comes into view within Base Camp, the day's hike is accompanied by the creaks and groans of the glacier, and the distant roar of avalanches echoing from the surrounding slopes. It's an immersive experience that brings the harsh beauty of the Himalayas to life.
As we return to our lodge at Gorak Shep, we carry memories that will endure a lifetime, enriched by the unique perspectives gained from our day at Everest Base Camp.
Embarking on an exhilarating morning trek, we ascend to Kala Patthar (5545m) to witness the breathtaking sunrise unfold from this remarkable vantage point beneath Pumori. While the ascent is challenging due to the altitude, the panoramic views from the summit surpass imagination.
As we climb towards Kala Patthar, we pause at various outstanding viewpoints to capture the beauty through our lenses. After several hours of ascent, we reach the summit marked by Cairns and prayer flags. Seated on the rocks of Kala Patthar, our eyes absorb the incredible Himalayan panorama, ranging from one mighty massif to another.
Every moment is frozen in time through the lens of our cameras, capturing memories that will last a lifetime. Descending slowly, we make our way back to Lobuche, ensuring a well-deserved night's rest after a remarkable day. Overnight, find comfort at a local lodge, surrounded by the awe-inspiring memories of our mountainous journey.
Embarking from Lobuche, our journey unfolds towards Lobuche Base Camp. The initial stretch traverses a flat plane before transitioning into a steeper, rock-strewn path as we ascend to an elevation of 4,940 meters (16,207 feet). The trail leads us alongside the Lobuche Glacier, offering breathtaking views of Ama Dablam, Pokalde, Cholatse, Thamserku, Kantega, and numerous other Himalayan peaks.

Our whole guides & staff are 100% Local Sherpa people from the Everest region. As you know “Sherpa’s are highly regarded as elite mountaineers and experts in their local area. They were immeasurably valuable to early explorers of the Himalayan region, serving as guides at the extreme altitudes of the peaks and passes in the region, particularly for expeditions to climb Mount Everest”
We have extremely professional, reliable, and experienced climbing Sherpa’s working with us. We have four expert Sherpa guides for each group of ten trekkers on the trail in order to make sure all of our teams have the best chance at safe success in their goals. Since we will employ experienced Sherpa guides, they will take care of everything and will make your trip easy and wonderful.
We believe that we all must give back to our society, as a responsible Sherpa Company, we know the importance of giving and supporting those in need. Hence, Mountain Sherpa Foundation has been established to help address the basic needs problems of the deprived people and low-income families of a remote part of Nepal. We work directly with the local communities to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice. We seek to help and to be helped to ensure that poor people can improve their lives and livelihoods.
We continue to help the local community and have helped our Sherpa guides, porters, and staff. As things get worse for tourism workers amid covid-19 pandemic, Mountain Sherpa Trekking director Mr. Pasang Sherpa distributed relief packages to more than 450 Sherpa trekking guides, porters, and climbing guides on 25 May 2020, Similarly, He supported to Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) that has established a food bank for the tourism workers in Nepal during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Unlike most companies, the Mountain Sherpa Trekking guide will not control the food menu during your trek in Nepal, which means you can select any food from the lodge menu as per your taste. Our guides will provide you with enough meals on their trek as part of the trip price. A lot of times people are only given the same food each day for every meal, and we don’t do this. You are allowed to pick what you eat for each meal in all the lodges we stay in.
Our guides will make sure that you get good quality lodge accommodation & enough hygienic food during your treks and climbs in the Himalayas which is most important for a successful trip.
Your safety and enjoyable trip are always our priority. Our guide will make sure all of your party is properly acclimatized in the expeditions before going higher. As your know given sufficient time, your body will adapt to the decrease in oxygen at a specific height. This process is known as acclimatization. It normally takes one to two days at any given altitude. This is why having the right itinerary is so essential high altitude trips like Island Peak Climb. Our EBC trek with Island Peak Climbing itinerary includes two nights in Namche Bazaar at 3,500m/ 11,500 feet. Trek to Everest and Kala Patthar at 5,645m/ 18,520 feet earlier to get to Lobuche East Peak hight Camp. We sleep one night at Lobuche High Camp (5,400m/17,720ft) before the summit.

For many of us, the perfect choice may be to go for mineral water. After all, it’s sealed and safe to drink, plus it provides an income for the local traders – right? Regrettably, things are never quite that simple. Mineral water produces a vast number of knock-on problems for mountain societies.
While it does provide an income to local people it also generates an extraordinary, heart-breaking amount of waste and spoiling. Most places simply do not have the resources to do anything with the empty plastic bottles – and they burn them, releasing toxic gases into the air, or leave them in piles just out of sight of travelers, where they take more than 450 years to decompose.
Take, for example, Mera Peak Trek. The recommended amount of water intake on a high-altitude trek like this is 3-4 litters a day. The trek is 13 days long. That’s more than 40 litter and 40 plastic bottles, which won’t decompose until the year 2466 – per person.
For a full MST group of 12 people, just one trip will result in more than 480 mineral water bottles. And the salt in the wound is that plastic doesn’t decompose at high altitudes, so those 480 or more bottles will be up there forever. But what can you do? You have to drink, so how can you get around the problem?
The Alternatives: The great news is that there are really various options that will help you out of the bottled water trap. Here are just four of the best. All you have to do is pick which one is right for you.
Striped- Steripen is the most trusted model on the market. This technique uses exactly the same process as most mineral water undergoes before it is bottled. It’s UV filtering, exactly the same treatment as the majority of bottled water undergoes to be purified, but on the go. The technology has been around for much longer than you think, but it’s only recently been competitively priced enough to be on the market. SteriPen is an American company; other UV filters are also available.
Boiled water– This isn’t always an option if you’re out and about, but boiled water is an excellent option for safe drinking water on the trek. Boiling the water kills any nastiness lurking there. It is the safest and most convenient option. Most lodges serve it, and it is great to ward off the cold. Prices range anywhere between NPR 50 and 120 per liter. This means the cost of drinking water will be around $40-$60 for an 11-day EBC trek.
Purification tablets– Water refining tablets or chemicals like chlorine dioxide are frequently used. They are easy to carry and cheap to buy. However, they are not as effective as UV filters or boiled water and need a few hours to act. Besides these, LifeStraw and iodine-based treatments are also available but have their drawbacks.
