In the southwest of Mount Everest in Khumbu region, there is a mountain called Nuptse Peak. It is a part of the Lhotse-Nuptse massif and has a steep west face with a descent to the Khumbu Glacier of more than 2,300 meters. Nuptse I Peak is the tallest of numerous mountains in the Lhotse-Nuptse range, with an elevation of 7,861m and a prominence of 331m.Although 1 Nuptse is a striking peak when viewed from the south or west, it is not included on the list of highest mountains due to its topographic prominence, which is only 319m.
We offer Nuptse Peak Summit if you are an experienced climber but it is just not the best choice for inexperienced climbers and instead try Island Peak or Chulu Far East and come back for it by gathering all the necessary skills.
Upon arrival in Kathmandu, you will be picked up by our representative at the airport and taken to the hotel. You will meet your guide, discuss the trek program, and make final preparations for the trek. If you have an early arrival, we will take you for a sightseeing trip in the UNESCO world heritage site in Kathmandu and later, in the evening, you’ll have dinner in the hotel.
From 20th March 2020 due to heavy congestion, all flights to and from Lukla depart from Ramechhap airport, 130km, a 4-hour drive from Kathmandu. It means now it’ll take an extra day to get to Lukla from Kathmandu though the flight price is the same.
Today, you will go on a sightseeing tour of the city, visiting some of the popular tourist attractions. In the afternoon, you will have a pre-climbing briefing with your guide and do some final preparation.
Kathmandu - Ramechhap via Road- Lukla via Air
You should travel to Ramechhap from Kathmandu to catch your Lukla Flight and follow the same route for returning to Kathmandu. After having breakfast in the morning, you’ll have to take a bus ride to Ramechhap which is around 5 hours and have lunch on the way to where you can try various Nepali cuisines.
After you reach Ramechhap, you’ll take a flight to Lukla from Manthali Airport which lies at an altitude of 439 m above sea level and is located at a distance of 132 km east of Kathmandu.A flight to Lukla is the most unpredictable part of Everest Three Pass trek itinerary and if the flight takes place as scheduled, you’ll reach Lukla in the evening or else you’ll need to wait for the next day to proceed to Lukla. There are several airlines operating flights to Lukla; Tara/Yeti Air, Summit Air,etc. and you can choose the one you like. Moreover, the best views of the mountains can be seen on the way to Lukla. Dinner will be ready at the hotel and your guide will give you the brief about the itinerary for following day.
Lukla – Chheplung – Ghat – Phakding – Bengkar – Monjo
In the early morning, you will have breakfast at the hotel and walking part of the trek begins. The trail starts from Lukla and descends to the Dudh Kosi River in Phakding and lunch will take place on the way. The first day gets difficult due to cold, high altitude and backpacks. You will get the view of picturesque sherpa villages, Tibetan Scriptures engraved Mane Walls and Chhortens and monasteries throughout the trails. Chhortens are like temples and often have relics of buddha in them. You’ll reach Phakding or Monjo exploring the trail and have dinner and overnight stay at hotel.
Monjo - Jorsale - Namche Bazaar
The trek from Phakding continues after breakfast, along the Dudh Kosi River, passing through pine forests and crossing several suspension bridges to Monjo. In Monjo, there is a national park checkpost. We will cross the river twice and reach Larcha Dovan, the confluence of two major rivers in Everest Valley and lunch will be in any small hotels or restaurants on the way. Here, we will cross the most iconic suspension bridge and follow a steeper trail to the historic trading town of Namche Bazaar which is surrounded by scenic mountains. From Phakding it's an 8 hrs trek and from Monjo, it's about 5-6 hrs. Dinner will be at Namche Bazar and rest for overnight.
Namche - Khumjung - Khunde - Namche
You will take a rest day to acclimate at the high altitude. You can hike to the Everest View Hotel for a panoramic view of the Mt. Everest with delightful breakfast and tea or coffee. Then hike to the beautiful sherpa village of Khumjung and Khunde, have lunch there and return back to Namche via yak farm above Syangboche Airport. There is a newly opened Himalayan Museum and Sustainable Park in Syangboche. You can also explore the town, visit the local markets and Sherpa Cultural Museum if time permits. Make sure to charge all your electronic devices in Namche from there on you’ll have to pay extra for charging. Overnight stay at the hotel.
Namche Bazaar - Tengboche Monastery
We, then, head towards Tengboche which looks like a scene out of a movie. You will visit Tengboche monastery which is the largest and most famous monastery in the Everest Region. This monastery was built in 1916 as a companion to its mother monastery, the Rongbuk Monastery, in Tibet. It also serves as a gateway to Everest. In 1934, the Tengboche Monastery was destroyed by an earthquake and by fire in 1989. Both times it was rebuilt with the generosity of volunteers. You might pray with the monks as they are generous with their rituals and open to all who show interest, but no pictures are allowed during their prayers. Overnight stay at Tengboche.
Tengboche - Dingboche
We now start our trek from Tengboche to Dingboche where we will be staying for the night. The journey has a lot of ascends but only minimal descent. Dingboche is the last village in the Everest region. It is home to an Internet cafe (using satellite technology) and one of the world's highest billiard parlors.
Dingboche - Dugla(Thukla) - Lobuche
Lobuche is 8.4 kilometers (5.2 miles) away from Dingboche. The trail leaves Dingboche and travels through the unique Dugla valley and the Khumbu valley. We will stop in Douglas for lunch and a lengthy rest. Normally, it takes 2 hours to get here. After that, it would take you another three hours to walk across Thukla Pass to the Everest Memorial and then descend to Lobuche.
Lobuche - Nuptse Base Camp
You'll trek to Nuptse Base Camp on the rocky ridges of Khumbu Glacier. Upon reaching the base camp monument, you may take photos and videos with surrounding views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Pumori, Mt. Lingtren, Mt. Khumbutse, Mt. Lho La in Nepal Side and Mt. Changtse in Tibet. EBC is an iconic destination and a major milestone for adventurers and trekkers all over the planet.
Base Camp will already have a route set up with ropes and ladders leading to Camp 1 by the time we first arrive there. Our strong Sherpa team will be hard at work carrying loads of gear up the mountain which will help ease the burden on the climbers.
Two days for ladder training and familiarization in the lower Khumbu Icefall before going ascending to Camp 1(5,900m/19,500ft). Spend a couple of days at Camp 1 then proceed to Camp 2(6,400m/21,000ft) and stay several nights there to help the climbers adjust to the altitude. We also make a trip to Nuptse Camp 3(6,800m/22,300ft) to help fasten this process. Our Camp 2 is set up with cook tents, specialized cooks, and a heated dining tent with tables and chairs which will provide some level of comfort to the climbers. On the mountain, we use shared sleeping tents.
After finishing this phase, we return to Base Camp to recover before making one more loop up the mountain to Camp 3, where we spend the night. Then we descend once more to Base Camp where we wait for a weather window to launch our summit attempt. When we do, we ascend through Camp 2 for a few nights before making our summit attempt after spending a night at Camp 3. The group will probably descend to Camp 3 after their long day of climbing. You would go back to Base Camp the next day.
Overall, the climbing plan needs to take into consideration the various factors that can affect a climb in the Himalayas. With the right weather conditions and a strong team effort, the summit attempt is achievable.
After our summit to Nuptse peak, we spare a day to clean up solid wastes that are residing in the mountains and make a fresh environment. Due to the tourism movement in these regions, there were huge chunks of garbage which are now controlled by such actions by climbers and the organizations responsible for clean environment.
Base Camp - Pheriche
We complete our climb here and start our return trek to Pheriche which is 15 kilometers or 9.32 miles away. Pheriche was primarily a farming village raising potatoes and buckwheat, and keeping yaks. However, now in the summer many of its men are employed by trekkers as guides and bearers. The trek generally takes 6 to 7 hours to complete with a lot of descending and few ascends on the way. Overnight stay at Pheriche.
Pheriche - Namche Bazaar
Now, we also leave this fascinating village and continue our journey to Namche Bazaar, the most famous town in the Everest region. Most Sherpa who are in the tourism business are from the Namche area. It is also considered the main trading center and hub for the Khumbu region. If you have never tried yak steak, then it might be the best place to try some. You can stay there an extra day and explore the nearby villages and meet with the locals who are really humble and hospitable with foreigners.
Namche - Lukla
It’s a long and final day of trek back to Lukla. It is about 20 km but mostly downhill with occasional uphill climb. The last couple of hours is uphill climb. We will retrace our steps on the left bank of Dudh Koshi river passing through lush forests and villages of lower Khumbu valley en route to Lukla. It will take about 8-9 hrs. Dinner and overnight stay at Lukla.
You’ll need to fly back to Ramechhap and drive to Kathmandu. After reaching, we will transfer you to a hotel.
