 OVERVIEW
Everest Base Camp is on the bucket list of every travel
enthusiast. Each year, Everest Base Camp at the height
of 5365 meters is trekked by more than 35,000 people.
The trek has become an achievable goal for people from
all walks of life and is an amalgamation of spectacular
scenery, cultural interaction and physical challenges.
The personal sense of achievement makes this trek one
of the most unforgettable experiences.
Everest trek goes through the adventure villages in the
Everest region which is popularly known as the Khumbu
region. Taking part in a trekking holiday allows you
access to remote areas and villages, to the mountains
and to a culture so different to our own, one that has
changed little over the years and whose customs have
been passed down through generations.Trekkers can
experience their friendliness at first hand and have the
opportunity to see and try to understand a little of this
culture so different to our own.
The trek is conducted at a reasonably relaxed pace
along rough but well laid trails taking into account the
altitude, allowing ample time to photograph the
magnificent scenery and observe the wildlife and to
meet the people. Rest days are included to assist our
acclimatisation as we climb higher into the mountains.
On this trip you will take on the challenge of reaching
the mountaineer's base camp and gain an insight into
the world-famous Sherpa culture. You will cross glaciers
and broad plains, traverse valleys and climb high
passes to reach the picturesque Everest Base Camp.
 DETAILED ITINERARY

Kathmandu, the colorful capital of Nepal, is a

fascinating blend of  Traditional Architecture

paragliding in Asias best paragliding places,
you can experience it all during your trip to
nepal.
Lukla also called the tenzing Norgay Airport is also
conisdered the 2nd most dangerous aiport in the world.
Lukla is pretty and charming. Little shops are stocked
with colourful Beanies, Silk Scarves and shawls made
from Yak Wool. The trail to Phakding is mostly
descending. After a small forest trail in the beginning,
you will walk through Nepalese villages surrounded
by a lot of vegetation.
Day 3: Phakding to Namche Bazaar
Altitude: 3438 M / 11280 FT
Time taken: 5 Hours
Trek gradient: Moderate. Initial level walk for 30
minutes followed by an undulating trail for a
few hours.
Steep climb to Namche hereafter.
With an early start of the day, it involves climbing,
steep steps through stunning forest, crossing rivers
via vertiginous and swaying Swiss Suspension
Bridges over rivers. Be awed by the Sherpas, who
carry bundled backpacks. The trail, lined with blue
pine forest, follows the river valley and is especially
spectacular in spring when the Rhododendron
flowers are bright in bloom. Cross the Dudh Kosi
River at Benkar, and look way up above 6,000
metres to see the peaks of snow-capped Kusum
Kanguru (6369 M) and Thamserku (6623 M).
Monjo village is the mid-point of today’s trek.
Highlights of the day include entering the
Sagarmatha National park, spotting the Kongderei
and Thamserku peaks, and getting your first
Everest view point.
Day 4: Rest day at Namche Bazaar
Namche is the capital of the Khumbu region. The
village is located on crescent shaped mountain
slopes that offer stunning views of the mountains
across the valley. As Namche is the first place on
the trek that is above altitude sickness threshold, we
ensure trekkers stay an extra day to let their body
get acclimatized to the pressure and oxygen levels
at that altitude. Namche is a prosperous Sherpa
town and an important trading centre. It has a
weekly market on Friday afternoon and Saturday
morning but the town bustle all day every day with
trekkers, coffee shops, bakeries and stores selling
all kinds of trekking and climbing gear as well as
Tibetan souvenirs. Namche gained its importance
during the period when Tibetan salt was traded for
the lowland grains of Nepal. Rugs, clothing, salt and
dried meat still all do a roaring trade in the village
centre, so haggle for any extra supplies you might
need.
This day we will hike to Everest view hotel, 3800m,
highest point during the trek past the Himalayan
airstrip at Shyangbonche. Built by the Japanese this
spectacularly situated hotel with wonderful views of
Everest and Ama Dablam is an ideal place for a tea
break. Those trekkers who are with full with
abundance energy can walk up to Kunde and visit
the Edmund Hillary Hospital. The twin villages of
Kunde and Khumjung are set below Khumbila, the
rocky peak sacred to all Sherpas. For much of the
walk, we have great views of Ama Dablam and other
Himalayan giants.
We walk back down through Khumjumg, to the
monastery. Sadly, it was damaged in the
earthquake but is now being repaired.

Taking a walk to see both the sunrise and sunset

views from the national park headquarters above
the village is also a great option. This stunning
vista includes a super panorama of the Khumbu
peaks and great views of Everest. The national
park headquarters are home to interesting displays
about Sherpa lifestyle and culture, and the local
flora and fauna.

Day 7: Acclimatization at Dingboche

Kabirians spend a day at Dingboche to continue
our acclimatization. Those adapting well to the
altitude can climb Nangkartshang Peak at 5,100 M
for great views of Makalu, Lhotse, Chalotse,
Tawoche and Ama Dablam. If you've forgotten,
acclimatization days are aimed at preparing the
body for the elevation gains to come (AKA to
decrease the risk of acquiring some altitude-
induced ailment – which could kill you). These days
require hikers to head up to as high an altitude as
they can manage before then descending to sleep
at (or around) the altitude the day began at.
Day 8 : Dingboche to Lobuche

Altitude: 4940 M / 16,207 FT

Time taken: 4 - 5 Hours
Trek gradient: Hike on this day a range from
moderate ascends to walking on flat ground.

Morning, folks! Our today’s trek to Lobuche would

be like a stroll in the park. As compared to the rest
of the day’s treks, the distance between
Dingboche and Dughla is the shortest. This trek
would offer you some stunning views of Mount
Pumori and a glacial lake that you can admire
without worrying about time constraints. We will

crossing the infamous Dughla Pass/ Thukla Pass.
This would bring us to an interesting spot of our
entire trek. Here, you will see memorials of many
famous mountaineers who lost their lives in
different expeditions. Usually, we enjoy
quietude of the pass and then head on to

glacier for a couple of hours before finally
descending onto the rocky glacial moraine itself.

of the expedition teams as they prepare to climb

the mountain.

The last two days are for exploring the capital city of Nepal,
Kathmandu. These days also act as buffer days to get your body
acclimatize to lower altitudes again. These days can be spent
exploring the Kathmandu valley which is the political, commercial,
cultural hub of Nepal, framed for its natural beauty and historic and
holistic places. Kathmandu valley contains three fabled cities,
Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. Kathmandu city has an artistic
exposition of graceful temples, elegant palaces, brick paved
courtyards and giant streets. It is surrounded by green mountain walls
above which tower mighty snowcapped peaks. The city has the
pilgrimage places for both Hindus and Buddhists. Some of the places
you can visit during your buffer days include:

Visit Darbar square

Kathmandu's Durbar Square is one of three durbar (royal palace) squares in the
Kathmandu Valley. It is the site of the Hanuman Dhoka Palace Complex, which was
the royal Nepalese residence until the 19th century and where important ceremonies,
such as the coronation of the Nepalese monarch, still takes place even today.

Visit Pashupatinath and Boudhanath

Not only is Pashupatinath the most important Hindu temple in Nepal,
its one of the most important Shiva temples on the subcontinent and
draws numerous devotees from all over India each year. Pashupati is
considered to have a special concern for the kingdom of Nepal.
Bouddhanath is among the largest stupas in South Asia, and it has
become the focal point of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal.

Visit Bhaktapur City

Bhaktapur-Durbar Square is a conglomeration of pagoda and shikhara
style temples grouped around a fifty-five window palace of brick and
wood. Here you can visit The Golden Gate and The palace of Fifty-Five
Windows.
 WHY CHAL KABIRA?
Personal Involvement – we plan everything by our own
We extensively live & breath Himalayas. We have handled and taken the
batches of our own and understand the need of our customers. We work
together with the team of locals to make our treks success. We essentially
believe ‘no one can better organize treks than those who have lived in the
same valley for years and have done those treks multiple times’. If you are
in a bigger group, well we can customize trek as per your wish, interests.
Our itineraries also well designed for natural acclimatization.

Local & Certified Ops team

Our guides are born and brought up in the surroundings   from where trek
starts, so our team is very well familiar with local conditions, routes and
obstructions which arise during the trekking, better than any other
outsider.

Facilitated equipment rentals

We have tie-ups’ with many equipment manufacturers who provide quality
gears at discounted rate for purchase or for rentals.

Smaller groups
Unlike other trekking companies which take 25-50 people in one batch and
eventually gives less attention and comfort to each participant, we believe
that small groups of 8-15 gives best ambience to the experience of the
Himalayan spirituality, serenity, solitude and rawness.

Quality equipment for safety and all weather expeditions

We are equipped with the best quality equipment required for the all
weather Himalayan Expeditions, which focuses on your Safety, Comfort,
Hygiene and Ecology.

Adherence to ethics
We are programmed to build responsive trekking/ travelling habits in our
travelers. We are not here for Volume, but for Experience and our vision of
cultivating and promoting spirit of adventure in people, who never happen
to have the chance, make them aware about a world of awe and fascinations
which surround us, against the conventional touristic approach to travel.
 ABOUT CHAL KABIRA
We have created a benchmark through operations in high altitude destinations in trekking,
expeditions, camping at places like Mt. Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, Manaslu
including Kailash Mansarovar in Tibet.

We are the only Indian Company to have registered with Nepal Government with over 500+
batches of Trek experience in Everest and Annapurna batch in last 6 years and having 99% the
success rate in terms of trek completion.
We have made a niche for ourself as the leading organizer for Everest Base Camp Trek from
India. Our reasoning of working with you at every phase of the trip empowers us to offer you
the absolute best whether it is food, lodging or transportation.

We have professional mountaineering experts and some of worlds climbers - The Sherpas to
guide you. At the completion of the trip, Chal Kabira handovers certificate of Leadership
Expedition. Safety and secure mountaineering is our first priority.

We employ strong and specialised Expedition Leaders and Sherpa staff who are recognised as
some of the most pre-eminent mountaineers in the industry.
Many operators make statements about their services that are intentionally designed to
mislead or avoid addressing important issues. The reality on the mountain is that unless you
have a strong and experienced leader with sufficient Sherpa staff in support, the chances of
summiting are dramatically reduced. Expeditions that are operated by local staff, with no
qualified and experienced western guides, are generally not able to offer you a legitimate level
of safety or success. These expeditions have the highest ratio of accident and frostbite injury
on trips which may seem cheap at the time when booking but the long term effects make the
price difference irrelevant.

Chal Kabira approach to making expeditions work for you is reflected in the quality and safety
of the expeditions we run along with our consistently high success rate.

We always use summiteers, experience and government license holder Climbing Sherpa guide
with friendly and experience cook and strong and experience trekking porter where you have
maximum summit opportunity. Our climbing Sherpa guide always with you and provide you
service as per your desire.

WE HAVE OUR OWN OFFICE AND HOTEL IN THAMEL, KATHMANDU for any local support,
assistance you may need.

Chal Kabira is proud to provide high quality service with focus on safety of our customers. We
have our climbing safety and logistics assessed and reviewed by experienced Netherland and
Belgium climbers and we are proud of our service.

 Reviews of Past Participants
My dream came true. I was dreaming to be here for long time. I am very
thankful to the team of Chal Kabira who arranged this trek. I saw mt. Everest in
front of me from kala-pathar it was freezing cold but the view of this giant
mountains took out every obstacle. Amazing Scenery of the mountains around
and the trek is refreshing as you walking up the mountain to Base Camp. I also
saw mt. Lhotse mt. Makalu and many other peaks.The khumbu glaciers is too
big and beautiful but the sad thing is it is melting quickly. I highly recommend
to everybody to go mt. Everest base camp once in a life so that you can enjoy
the nature and amazing sherpa people hospitality.

Ashish Kumar Pani 
(Dean, XLRI Jamshedpur)

Chal Kabira made our 15 days Everest Base Camp Trek an epic and beautiful
adventure. We began the trek at a modest pace out of Lukla which allowed the
group to get a feel for the mountain hiking. The views, the culture, the
experiences were all phenomenal. I joined the trek with my friends and we were
put into a small group. The structure of the journey brought us all together on a
physically demanding, spiritually rewarding excursion. Everything seemed
planned out perfectly. Our lodging and food were just right. It never felt
overwhelming for what we were accomplishing and never felt too posh to be
real.

Best guide, best assistance, best trek ever. Choose this agency without
hesitation. The whole trek was excellently conducted by the team Chal Kabira.
They worked tirelessly on the trail and after hours to make sure each of us had
what we needed for a successful trek. Trekking with Chal Kabira was a fantastic
experience! Booked the 15 days Everest Base Camp trek and spent in good
hands. The Chal Kabira team was thoughtful, knowledgeable and attentive. The
trek was challenging but the Chal Kabira team planned out the best itinerary
and balanced it out.
