Der Mount Everest ist mehr als nur ein Berg und der Weg zu seinem Basislager ist mehr als nur eine Wanderung. Entlang einer Route, die von manchen „die Treppen zum Himmel“ genannt wird, warten hinter jeder Wegbiegung eine neue Foto-Gelegenheit sowie wunderschöne Wälder, Sherpa-Dörfer, Gletschermoränen und Ausläufer der Berge.

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Kathmandu

Day 2 Kathmandu/Phakding

Der Bergflug nach Lukla ist spektakulär und die Landung ein aufregender Start in das Wanderabenteuer – das eine Ende Landebahn liegt 60 m höher als das andere.

Nach der Ankunft in Lukla geht es durch Kiefern- und Zedernwälder am Fluss Dudh Kosi entlang nach Phakding. Wir verbringen die nächsten drei Nächte zum Wandern in der Gegend, um uns in Vorbereitung auf den Aufstieg zum Basislager an die Höhe zu gewöhnen. Es handelt sich um einen anspruchsvollen Trip mit schwierigen Wanderungen in großen Höhenlagen, aber das ganze Erlebnis ist einfach nur atemberaubend! ALERT: The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal regularly switches back and forth from allowing domestic flights to Lukla departing out of Kathmandu airport versus departing out of Manthali airport. The flight used for each individual departure will be determined by what the Aviation Authority is permitting at that time.

In the Himalayas weather can cancel or delay the scheduled flight(s) to/from Lukla airport. To be sure that you make your trek, or return from it, it may be necessary to make this flight by a chartered helicopter. Helicopters can operate in some weather that aircraft cannot. Should a helicopter be needed, it will be at the expense of the travellers, and not something covered by G Adventures. Please keep approximately USD 500 (one way) accessible in case this situation presents itself. This suggested amount is in addition to the emergency fund suggested in the tour details. 

Hopefully weather delays will not occur, or if they do it will be for a limited time. Should the delays stretch into days and neither helicopter nor flight are a viable option, a collective decision will be made by the group on how to proceed. This is especially true if the delays are prior to the trek, as the original trek may no longer be feasible. Your CEO will be there to help with this process

Day 3 Phakding/Namche Bazaar

An einem Akklimatisationstag kannst du einen Ausflug nach Thame und ins grüne Dorf Khumjung unternehmen.

Day 4 Namche Bazaar

Day 6 Tengboche to Dingboche

Day 7 Dingboche

Du kannst einen Akklimatisierungstag hier nutzen, um entlang des Flusses Imja Khola auf den Berg Chhukung oder Nagarzhang zu wandern. Dort befindet sich eine kleine Sommersiedlung, von wo aus man einen atemberaubenden Blick auf die Berge Island Peak, Lhotse und Ama Dablam genießt. Außerdem kann man auch die geriffelten Eiswände entlang des Amphu-Lapcha-Passes sehen. Diese Anblicke gehören zu den Highlights der gesamten Wanderung.
