A morning amidst towering hills is made enticing with a trek to the famous Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar. Start by crossing the Dudh Koshi River onto an ascending trail.

Here, we cross yet another suspension bridge and then ascend to Namche. Overnight stay at Namche.

Considering a significant gain in altitude in the past couple of days, this will be an acclimatization day coupled with an exploration trip of nearby Sherpa villages of Khumjung and Khunde.

We head further along the Everest trail to Tengboche on this day. The trail runs along a decent terrain until we arrive at Phunki Tenga.

Overnight stay at Dingboche.

One more acclimatization day, take this spare day to head off the main Everest trail. On this day, you explore the Sherpa culture in the village along with the lifestyle of the people here. In order to acclimatize to the Himalayan atmosphere better, you can also take short hikes around the Dingboche village. Overnight stay at Dingboche.

By the end of today's trek, you'll be a stop short of the base camp of the highest mountain on Earth. The day starts with a climb up the ridge of Pheriche Valley.
