Accommodation 
In Kathmandu:
We use good tourist class hotels in the Capital on a twin share bed & breakfast basis.

On trek
: We use Lodges, or "tea Houses" as they are traditionally called, the rooms vary in size, normally with 2-4 beds. Accommodation once on trek is full board (normally with a  packed lunch) and  Evening meals are included, as are Services of guide and porters.

Also included:
Airport transfers, half day sightseeing tour of Kathmandu, Pre -trek briefing. Flights and road transfers to treks as described in itineraries. Trek permits and fees.

If you have limited time but want to get  as high as you can in the Everest region within that  period, then look no further  than this famous trek. We begin the walking quite high up (Lukla), so there is less time to acclimatize than, say our Classic Everest tour. However, most people adjust very well over this period and make it successfully to the high points of the walk. It is an especially good trip for groups of friends or couples to undertake together: The "Grin factor" and sense of self achievement levels involved is something that you will want to share with them.

This trek takes you over much of the original trail of the famous early mountaineering expeditions. After 2 days in Kathmandu we take the breathtaking flight to Lukla to start the trek. From Lukla, we commence our walk through the Dudh Kosi Valley and, during the trek, pass memorable villages such as Namche Bazaar, Thame, and what is arguably the world's most spectacular viewpoint, Thyangboche Monastery. The climax of the tour is the option of ascending Kala Pattar OR continuing on to Everest Base Camp. Finally we make our way back to Lukla  for the return flight....Hold on to your seat!!
