Planning scope
A classic approach uses Lukla and the trail through Namche Bazaar, followed by staged ascent towards the upper valley and base camp. Flight arrangements and possible delays need a separate plan.
Time and pace
An initial allowance is around 14–16 days for the trekking journey, plus transfer and weather contingency time. Your guide must plan acclimatisation rather than simply compressing the route.
Lodges and preparation
Accommodation is generally lodge-based. Cold, altitude, trail conditions and limited high-altitude services require preparation and a flexible schedule.
How we can help
Ask us about coordinated transfers, guide and trek arrangements through suitable partners. Pokhara vehicle hire does not cover the mountain walking stages.
Current checks
Check park/local entry documentation, flight operation, guide arrangements and insurance suitable for the planned activity and altitude before booking.
