Introduction to Everest Luxury Lodge Trek

This Luxury Everest Base Camp Trek is the same as all Everest Base Camp Treks. Except we will provide you with the best possible accommodation along the trail.

At three points, namely Phakding, Lukla and Namche Bazaar this means you will be staying in the Yeti Mountain Home luxury lodges. Designed for luxury and based on the traditional designs of the Khumbu (Everest) Region, these are the five-star hotels on the Everest trails!

You will get your first glimpse of the beauty of this region from the short flight into Lukla. Flying directly through the mountains, this airport sits at 2,860m.

On arrival in the early morning, trekkers set off to descend to the first stop. Phakding lies around 4 hours walk from Lukla. Set on the riverside, you can relax in the gardens of Phakding Yeti Mountain Home for the rest of the afternoon.

From now on the days consist of around 5 hours of trekking. Some days are longer at 7 to 8 hours. But we build in acclimatization time and never force clients to go faster than their ability. The trails pass through forests of alpine trees and through picturesque Sherpa villages.

Not to mention the raging rivers you will cross until you reach the well-known market town of Namche Bazaar. Here again we stayed overnight in a Yeti Mountain Home. With a spa and wellness centre and well-stocked bar, we suggest you might want to enjoy these facilities fully on the return journey!

While in Namche we take the opportunity to acclimatize to the altitude with a rest day. However, the best way to acclimatize is to remain active so you might want to hike to Khumjung Village to visit the school set up by Sir Edmund Hillary.

As well as following in the footsteps of famous mountaineers, the highlights of this trek include the mountains. Of course! Our first great panoramic view comes at Tengboche Monastery where we can see breathtaking views of Mt Everest, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Nuptse and Lhotse. For those who enjoy the spiritual, it is possible to meet some of the monks living here.

Aside from the mountains, this area has an abundance of flora and fauna. It falls within the Sagarmatha National Park and the Sacred Himalayan Landscape initiative of the World Wildlife Fund.

As you would expect, the trails pass the glaciers and ice falls and take you up to Kala Patthar, otherwise known as the Everest Viewpoint. Here is the closest you will get to Everest without a climbing permit and expedition team! The views are beyond words, Everest, Mount Pumori and Amba Dablam seem to be within arm’s reach.

During this part of the trek we use the best available lodges but once we return to Namche Bazaar we will again stay at the Yeti Mountain Home and perhaps have just one or two drinks at the bar. Or a lovely spa treatment. For our final night in the Khumbu Region, we stayed at the Yeti Mountain Home at Lukla. And yes, go on and treat yourself to another spa. For when else are you going to have a massage high up in the Himalayas!
