Also, we’ll visit Swoyambhunath Stupa (monkey temple), Kathmandu Durbar Square, and the virgin Kumari known as Living Goddess in Basantapur.

Our third day will be designated for shopping and preparing all the equipment needed for the expedition. Meanwhile, our team will prepare all the permits and papers. And in the evening we’ll have a meeting to discuss all the details of the expedition.

On our tenth day, we’ll head towards base camp where we’ll spend the night.

Day eleven is important since it will be for acclimatization. So we’ll spend the day preparing. Hence I’ll teach you some techniques and skills to get you ready for the adventure ahead.

Due to unpredictable weather, we’ll stay at base camp as much as its needed. After the necessary time here, we’ll head to Advance Base Camp (5,450m). Then we’ll climb up Camp I located at an elevation of 6,000 meters. Thereupon, we’ll head to Camp II (6,350).

Since more and more expeditions and treks occur in this region, more garbage and waste is produced. So as an effort to reduce contamination, we’ll use this day to clean base camp, and packing for our journey back.

On this day we’ll start retracing our journey through the same trek that we came up. So we’ll head back to the Phu Valley to spend the night there.

After walking back through villages like Tal Besi and Tal Karte we’ll head to Jagat for an overnight stay.

Once we get a good last breakfast we’ll get on a vehicle and head towards Kathmandu.

This will be the last day of adventure. But you’ll still have some time to walk around Kathmandu and learn more about this magical place.

Finally, on day forty, we’ll take you to the airport so you can catch your flight back home.
