Itinerary

The trip starts once we arrive in Kathmandu. Before our arrival, wecan obtain a tourist visa from the many Nepalese Diplomatic Missions. Else, we can get a visa on arrival by filling in an online form, paying the fee, and submitting them at the immigration desk located at the airport. We will be transferred to our hotel from the airport by our Kathmandu Gay tour guide. Once we check into our room, we are free to rest for the upcoming trip. We can also sightsee around the capital or do some last-minute shopping.

Today we will be sightseeing around our lovely capital and experiencing some fantastic spots and sites the valley has to offer with Kathmandu Gay tour guide. We will also be completing some last-minute trek preparations to Gay trek to Everest Base Camp.

Kathmandu is home to seven UNESCO World heritage sites. These include the three ancient Durbar Squares or palace complexes of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur, two majestic Hindu temples, Pashupatinath and Changunarayan, and two grand stupas, Swayambhunath and Boudhanath. We can visit any or all of them in any order as our desire. If we want to hit the trails to warm up before our Gay trip to EBC, we can choose from the many hiking trails in and around the valley. Some popular spots include the hills of Shivapuri, Nagarjun, Chandragiri, and many others. If you feel you lack any supplies or gear, gay trekkers can contact us, and we can help you procure anything you think you must have by offering our recommendation and directing you to the required shops.

On this day we will hit the hiking trails. Our day starts with a flight to Lukla (2,840 m/9,317 ft) after an early breakfast. As the weather at Lukla is unpredictable, the flight may be canceled due to fog or other weather phenomena. To compensate for this, a day has been added to this itinerary. The flight takes about 30 minutes. We will see a magnificent view of the mountains from way up in the air as we move toward the hiking trails. Lukla Airport, also known as Tenzing–Hillary Airport, is often called 'the most dangerous airport globally. It earned this reputation as it is built in treacherous terrain. The runway is short, with high hills at one end and a steeply angled drop to the valley below. Once we land in Lukla, we hit the hiking trail and are bound for Phakding (2,670 m/8,759 ft) with our local gay trekking guide to Everest. Phakding is a village located on the banks of the Dudh Koshi River. We need to travel down a gentle downhill trail through temperate forests of oak and hemlock to reach it. As we walk, we will pass through sections lined with chortens, prayer wheels, and 'mani' walls, walls inscribed with Buddhist prayers in the Tibetan script. All these factors make for a pleasant trek. After traveling about 8km, we will finally make it to Phakding. Once there, we can relax in our room or explore the village and other nearby villages if we are up for it.

As we wake up on the third day of this trip, our destination is Namche Bazaar (3,460 m/11,351 ft), a renowned tourist town referred to as the gateway to Mount Everest. The trail is uphill but smooth, and we will cross many suspension bridges as we set out to Namche Bazaar along the Dudh Koshi River. We will travel through forests of oak, rhododendron, and magnolia, which will provide shade on our journey. Following the trail, we will set foot in the village of Monjo (2,835 m/9,301 ft). This village is the entryway to Sagarmatha National Park. So, we will present our ticket and other necessary documents, after which we will carry on with our gay trek to EBC. After a few hours of walking and crossing many more suspension bridges, we will arrive at the village of Jorsale (2740 m/8989 ft). The trek is slightly uphill till you enter the Namche Bazaar, where we will spend the night.

Today is a day of acclimatization. So, we can spend the day exploring Namche Bazaar and its surrounding. If we are up for it, we can hike to the village of Khumjung (3,790 m/12,434 ft), from where we can get a truly gorgeous view of Khumbila peak (5,717 m/18,757 ft). If we are still unsatisfied with this view, we can hike further to Hotel Everest View (3880 m/12729 ft) to get a 360-degree view of the mountains. Some of the more prominent peaks we can view from here include Lhotse (8,516 m/ 27,940 ft), Nuptse (7,864 m/ 25,801 ft), Kwangde (6,011 m/ 19721 ft) Thamserku (6,623 m/ 21,729 ft) and Khumbila (5,717 m/18,757 ft). If we remain uninterested in a hike and want to relax on our day off, the town of Namche Bazaar is filled with many places worth visiting. We can spend days only touring the many eateries lining the streets, including the possibly highest Irish pub. Many shops and hawkers sell everything a trekker might need, so we can resupply here and buy some souvenirs. Try the homemade yak cheese and butter to taste the local delicacy as we are doing so. If we are interested in the lifestyle of the indigenous Sherpa people, be sure to check out the Sherpa Museum. This museum features physical artifacts that commemorate the mountaineering ways of the Sherpa people and a small presentation about the various achievements of Sherpas on the mountaineering front. Namche Bazaar also features a quaint monastery, local medicinal plants, a Tibetan herbal medicine museum, and a library. So, we have many options to visit on our one day of rest.

Today, we are traveling to the village of Tengboche (3,880/12,729 ft), the birthplace of Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. We start on a trail that is gently uphill and smooth. The first part of the journey is along a hill on a narrow path. Many stupas line the path, and the hike is pleasant due to the shade of the surrounding forest. As we progress, we get to a plain section of the trail. As we follow the plain winding path, the forests give way to alpine shrubs. Then, we descend to the Imja Khola (river). There, we will find a suspension bridge. Crossing it, we enter the village of Phungi Thanga. From the village, we need to ascend a further two hours on a steep uphill path to reach your destination of Tengboche. Tengboche Monastery, the largest monastery in the Khumbu region, highlights our visit to Tengboche. So, take in the sights and witness the many murals and statues it contains. This festival is also the only place where the Manu Rimdu festival, a festival unique to Khumbu, is celebrated. After we are content with our exploration, we can check in to our lodge with the guidence of our gay trekking guide to Everest Region, where we will spend the night.

In this day of our Everest Base Camp Gay Trek leads us to the stunning village of Pheriche (4,250 m / 13,943 ft). We begin by hitting the rough and rocky trail that descends steeply. After descending to the foot of the valley walls, the next leg of today's trek consists of climbing it. We can observe the vegetation becoming less dense as we do so, with shrubs starting to dominate the landscape. As we continue on the trail, we will pass through the idyllic village of Pangboche (3,985 m /13,074 ft). We are recommended to rest here as the next part of the journey involves climbing a steep incline. After this short rest, we are again fit for hiking and will do so until you arrive at Pheriche.

Today is the second acclimatization day of this trip. The best way to acclimatize is through a short hike, and some of the options you can pick from include Prayer Flag Point and Nangkartshang Peak. Prayer Flag Point is an excellent viewpoint from which we can get a fantastic view of Ama Dablam (6,812 m / 22,349 ft), Makalu (8,485 m / 27,838 ft), and the Pheriche Valley itself. To reach the viewpoint from Nangkartshang Peak (5,083 m/16,677 ft), we must travel a steeply inclined winding path that gets rockier as you approach the top. But once there, we will be rewarded with an excellent view of the mountains, including Ama Dablam (6,812 m/ 22,349 ft) and Lhotse (8,516 m/27,940 ft) and the surrounding valleys. The town of Pheriche is also home to the Pheriche Aid post. A basic hospital was established to prevent casualties during the ascent of the mountain peaks in the area.

Today, we are heading to Lobuche (4,940 m / 16,207 ft) through landscapes now barren due to the large altitude we have climbed. We begin by climbing a gently uphill trail. After some time, we will make it to a suspension bridge. Crossing it, we will enter Thukla village (4,620 m/15,157 ft). The path becomes rougher and steeply uphill until you arrive at Thukla Pass (4830 m/ 15,846 ft). This place is famous for the memorials and chortens built to remember the people who lost their lives while climbing Mount Everest. Once you travel through the pass, we will reach and begin traveling alongside the Khumbu glacier until you reach your destination.

Today, is the main day of our Gay trek to Everest Base Camp. we will set foot on the Everest Base Camp (5,370 m/17,618 ft), so get ready for a lifetime of memory ! We start the day early, heading to the Khumbu Glacier. When we finally arrive at the 12 kilometers long glacier, we will surely be amazed by its pristine ice gradually sliding downwards gracefully. We hike along with the Khumbu glaciers, traveling through and on the rough terrain of built-up boulders up to your arrival at Gorakshep (5,180 m/16,994 ft), the highest human settlement in the world. Here, we will check in to our lodge with the guidence of our gay trekking guide to Everest and leave some unnecessary gear behind, as we will be returning to spend the night. After hiking uphill through similar terrains as before, we enter the base camp. Take as many photos to commemorate an outstanding achievement, and wander to our heart's content, a place not everyone can reach. We cannot see Mount Everest from this camp as it is blocked by Lhotse (8,516 m/27,940 ft) and Nuptse (7,864m/ 25,801 ft). However, we can see many other peaks, and a close-up view of the Khumbu Icefalls is also present for us to enjoy. Once we are done with the wonders of the Base Camp, we descend the same trail and stay overnight in Gorakshep.

Today, we will wake up and hike in pre-dawn to witness the sun rise and paint the pristine snow of the Eastern Himalayas into molten amber from Kala Patthar (5,545m/18,192ft) with gay guide for Ebc trek.. Standing atop this famous viewpoint, we will receive an amazing 360 degrees’ view including the peaks of Mt. Everest (8,848.86 m/ 29,031.7 ft), Nuptse (7,864 m/ 25,801 ft), Khumbu Tse (6,036 m/ 21,771 ft.), Tawache (6,495 m/ 21,309 ft), Ama Dablam (6,812 m/ 22,349 ft), Cholatse (6,440 m / 21,130 ft), and many others. After taking in this heavenly view, it is time to start the long journey home. We begin by hiking down to Gorakshep, where we can stop for a while and have breakfast. Then, the trail calls for you again as we walk back down to Lobuche. On our descent,we can notice the trail becomes smoother, and the landscape transforms from barren wastelands to grasslands. From Lobuche, we descend further into the valley's river formed by the twisting course of the Dudh Koshi until you make it to Pheriche (4,260 m/13,976 ft), where we spend the night.

On day 12 of our Gay trek to Everest Base Camp Trek, trails will take us up and down the valley walls as we set our destination to Kyanjuma (3,665 m/ 12,024 ft). We begin by ascending a slight ridge and then descending the hill heading first to Tengboche. As we approach it, we are in for a steep incline on rough and uneven terrain. The vegetation has become denser as we have dipped quite a lot in altitude. From Tengboche,we will descend steeply on the same rocky trails you took days before until we arrive at Phunki Tenga.We will cross the Imja river and then start ascending again until we set foot in Kyanjuma, a village between Gokyo Valley and Namche Bazaar.

Today, we set our sights on the village of Monjo. The trek begins by climbing up to Khumjung village. From here, taking in the same gorgeous views we enjoyed on our first acclimatization day, we travel down to Namche Bazaar along trails through terrace farms and dense deciduous forests. From Namche, we begin descending along the course of the Dudh Koshi river, which we can see flowing way down. We will finally lose sight of Mount Everest on this trek section, a sign of the end of our Everest Base Camp Gay Trek. We often cross the river on suspension bridges to our final destination, Monjo (2,880 m / 9,488 ft).

Today, we will leave the Sagarmatha National Park and head towards Lukla, where we will begin our trek to the mountains. First, we head to Phakding on a trail with mostly downhill sections with a few uphill ones. Like yesterday, we will walk along the Dudh Koshi on similar trails crossing many suspension bridges. Once we arrive at Phakding, we can take a short rest as the remaining portion is an uphill one. Then, we brave that ascending trail to Lukla, whern we can finally rest after a tiring but rewarding Everest Base Camp Gay Trek.

Today, we bid adieu to the diverse Khumbu region and slumbering mountains but hope to meet again in next Everest Gay hiking with our Gay guide to Everest Trek. Now, brave a flight again through the world renowned Lukla airport to Kathmandu. Take one last look at the sites of our hopefully memorable and joyful trip. After 30 minutes, when we land, we can either relax or take to the streets of Kathmandu for one last adventure after checking into our room. If we feel like our thirst for the scenery of Nepal is not satisfied,we can plan another tour to experience this bliss again.

FAQs

  • The flight to Lukla itself is an adventure. The airport in Lukla, called Tenzing-Hillary Airport or simply Lukla Airport, is built upon treacherous terrain. The runaway is only 527 m/1,729 ft long and 30 m/ 98 ft. wide. On one side of the runaway is a cliff wall and on the other is a sheer drop into the valley below. It is built at an altitude of 2,846 m/ 9,337 ft also contributes to the danger of flying to it. At these altitudes, the air density is significantly lower than the operational limits of most aircraft.

    Adding to all these concerns is the erratic weather of the Himalayas. Unfavorable weather reduces visibility, and there is no radar here. Due to all these reasons, it is dubbed 'The World's Most Dangerous Airport.

    However, there is no reason to panic as the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal has set a high standard for any pilot flying to or from the airport. To be eligible for a flight to this airport, a pilot must have completed 100 short take-off and landing flights, at least one year of experience flying in Nepal, and ten flights to Lukla with a certified instructor.

  • Kala Patthar is the highest point of the Everest Base Camp budget trek at the impressive elevation of 5,644.5 m/ 18,519 ft. It means 'black rock' and is a point on the south ridge of Pumori (7,161 m/ 23,494 ft) above Gorakshep. Although it has a prominence of only 10 m/ 33 ft, it still provides a great view of the Himalayas, particularly of the peaks Mt Everest (8,848.86 m/ 29,031.7 ft), Nuptse (7,861 m/ 25,791 ft), Lhotse (8,516 m/ 27,940 ft), and Changtse (7,543 m/ 24,747 ft).

  • While traveling along the trail in the Everest Base Camp Trek, it is compulsory to hire a guide since April 1, 2023. We always provides Gay trekking guides to Everest trekking. If your group is large enough, you may benefit by hiring a Gay group leader and a gay friendly porter to Ebc Trek

    Group leaders can be considered the expert guides who are well-versed on the trek route and armed with additional cultural and historical knowledge of the regions you will be traveling through.

  • Even though the Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most renowned treks in the entire world, it is still a trip into the mountains through remote villages not connected to the outside world through roads. Communication services are also not reliable and may not be of use all the time. The only way to quickly evacuate an injured trekker is through a helicopter, which is unreliable. In an emergency, a solo traveler may not be able to contact the helicopter in the first place. Even if they can do so, the helicopter may not be able to land nearby. At this time, they need someone to carry them to safety and monitor their health.

    Due to these reasons, even with the best preparations and insurance, solo gay travelers can be stranded if they suffer a debilitating injury. So, traveling with gay guides or gay froendly porters or in a gay group is always recommended. However, if you cannot form a gay group or feel that hiring gay guides and  gay friendly porters is beyond your budget, you can join our gay group to undertake this beautiful trek instead. Traveling in one of our large gay groups, the cost of the trip and the hassle of booking hotel rooms and filing documents will be considerably lowered, not to mention the safety from the dangers mentioned above. So, if you are a solo traveler, join the team!

    Since, April 1, 2023, it is mandetory to hire a guide for trekking in Nepal.

  • Tipping is not mandatory in Nepal. However, it is expected due to the low wages guides and porters earn. 10% to 15% of the overall trip is a good tip. If at all possible, tip each of your guides and porters individually.

  • Depends on. Mostly cheaper than the city areas hotel. Better to let your guide to deal with hotel.
