Flight time is about 40 minutes and we land at an airstrip built by Sir Edmund Hillary and the Sherpas in the mid-1960s. After landing we meet our porters who carry our equipment during our trek. We also have time to explore the village before hitting the trail.
This trek starts with a descend towards the Dudh Kosi River, passing through the many lucky prayers stones and prayer flags where we join the main trail to Namche Bazaar and to the great areas of the Adventure destinations. (Dudh means ‘milk’ – the waters of the River are a strong milky white from glacial melt).

The walk is easy and after passing through the small village of Chheplung (2650) we cross the Thado Kosi River on a suspension bridge. Just past the bridge we can see the peak of Kusum Kangru (6367m), ahead the trail, which is the most difficult of the so-called “trekking peaks”. Beyond the Thado Kosi the trail climbs a bit towards Ghat Village (2790m), we cross a ridge marked with painted Mani stones and climb to Phakding. From Phakding we follow the valley of the Dudh Kosi River, staying on the west bank of the River. We climb steeply over a rocky ridge towards Benkar (2710m). From here the trail continues alongside the River. All along this part of the trail, villages are interspersed with magnificent forests of rhododendron, magnolia and giant firs with the views of Holy Khumbhila of Everest Region and Thamsherku. In both the early autumn and late spring, the flowers on this portion of the trek make it a beautiful walk. We cross the Kyashar Khola River and climb out of the valley to Monjo (2810m) (4:30 hrs)

Namche is a prosperous village, situated in a large, protected hollow. It gained its importance during the period when Tibetan salt was traded for the lowland grains of Nepal. Today quite an amount of trade continues at Namche and Tibetans are sometimes seen in the village trading rugs and Chinese-made goods, clothing, salt and dried meat. It is recommended that you take the opportunity to see both the sunrise and sunset views from the national park headquarters above the village. The panorama can be stunning at both times of the day with a superb view of the Khumbu peaks, including great sightings of Everest.

The views of Everest and Ama Dablam are excellent from this part of the trek. We pass the small settlement of Sanasa from where the trail drops towards Phunki Thanga (3250m). From here the trail climbs steeply through forests and around Mani stones as it follows the side of a hill to the saddle on which the monestary of Tengboche sits at 3870m.
