Description

HIGHLIGHTS

  • FOOTWEAR: * Running shoes and sandals. 1 pair to wear at the end of every day for comfort. * Light Hiking Boots or trekking shoes. 1 pair of sturdy boots in which you can wear a light synthetic sock (optional) under a heavy sock comfortably, either wool or synthetic. Shoes should be very Water Proof and Warm. * Gaiters. 1 pair used to keep rocks/snow out of shoes and boots dry. * Wool or Synthetic Socks. 3 pair heavyweight socks (wool is warmer). If you’re going to be layering socks, check fit over feet and inside boots. Remember to keep one fresh, dry pair of socks available for the summit *Liner Socks (optional). 3 pair of smooth thin wool, nylon or Capilene to be worn next to the skin. This reduces the incidence of blisters and hot-spots and makes the outer sock last longer before needing to be changed. They should fit well with your heavyweight socks.
  • TECHNICAL CLOTHING: * Lightweight Long Underwear. 2 pairs of Tops & 1 pair of bottoms, Capilene, other synthetic or wool. No Cotton. Lightweight is preferable as it is more versatile. Zip-T-neck tops allow more ventilation options. If available, bring 1 set of white or light colored for intense sunny days and 1 pair of dark for other days. * Synthetic Shirts. Sweat wicker material. No Cotton Preferably 1 short sleeved and 2 long sleeved. Light colors preferred. * Fleece/Soft Shell jacket. 1 Mid and 1 Heavyweight fleece. A full-zip version is easier to put on and has better ventilation than a pullover. Zip-T’s are also good. * Down or Synthetic jacket. Medium to heavy weight for Kala Patthar and evenings. * Hard Shell jacket w/ hood. We recommend a waterproof breathable shell material with full front zipper, underarm zips, and no insulation. This outer layer protects against wind and rain. * Trekking Pants. Synthetic pants to be worn every day. * Underwear. Synthetic or cotton.
  • HANDWEAR: * Heavy Gloves. A good pair of heavy gloves works well. Should not be too tight or too loose son that it’s warm enough. * Lightweight synthetic gloves. Quick drying material. Should fit comfortably inside heavy gloves.
  • HEADWEAR: * Warm Lightweight synthetic/wool hat. Preferably hat should cover ears. * Baseball cap/sun hat. One with a good visor to shade the nose and eyes. Synthetic is nice as it dries quickly but not necessary. * Bandana/Buff. Used to shade your neck from continuous sun exposure. Glacier glasses. 100% UV, IR, high quality optical lenses with no more than 8% light transmission (category 3 or 4). If you wear contact lenses we recommend packing a spare pair of glasses—it is a good idea to have these with “photo-gray” or equivalent light-sensitive material so they can double as emergency sunglasses.
  • PERSONAL EQUIPMENT: * Trekking Backpack. A daypack big enough to carry water bottles, camera, lunch and extra clothing. Porters carry the rest. 40L is a good capacity. * Water Bottles: 2 Wide mouth bottles with minimum 1 Litre capacity per bottle. 1 or 2L water bag or bladder systems is also good in the lower regions but tend to freeze higher up so not ideal on summit day. Total carrying capacity should be 2L. * Sunscreen. SPF 30 or higher, Make sure that the sunscreen is not older than 6 months as it would lose half of its SPF rating. * Lipscreen. SPF 40 or higher, again not older than 6 months. * Sports Drink Mix (optional). Powdered electrolyte drink mix can help you rehydrate. Bring 2-1 Servings per day for 7 days. * Sleeping bag. Expedition quality to at least 10- comfort rating0. Down is lighter, warmer and less bulky, but more expensive than synthetics

Itinerary for Everest Expedition

  • Leader: Mr. Abiral Rai. Image

    Namaste, Nepal!

    Now that we’re here, a PANGAEA rep will be waiting outside the airport gates to take us to our hotel. Depending on when everyone arrives, we’ll plan to have our briefing meeting once we’ve settled

  • Off To Lukla and Trekking to Phakding

    Good morning! We’re transferring to the airport to board one a stunning 45-minute mountain flight through the Himalayas. From Lukla (2,652 m), we trek downhill toward the Dudh Koshi (Milky River) – a raging river that flows from the glacier of the highest mountains. This fairly easy and well-marked trail meanders around the fields of potatoes and wheat, passing through many traditional villages to reach Phakding. After about three hours of trekking, we’ll spend our first night in Phakding.

  • Trek To Namche Bazaar

    trek after breakfast, passing through pine forest, rhododendron, magnolia, and cultivated terraces to get to Sagarmatha National Park in the mountain capital, Namche Bazaar. Spectacular mountain peaks like Nupla (5,885 m), Kongde Ri (6,093 m) and Thamserku (6,808 m) rise majestically above us throughout most of the day.

  • Acclimatization Day Hike To Shyangboche

    It’s important to spend an extra night at Namche Bazaar for acclimatization purposes before venturing higher. We’ll do a short day hike up to the Everest View Hotel in Shyangboche at 3,833 m for stunning views of Ama Dablam and Mount Everest. Average trekking time is 2 hours.

  • Trek To Thyangboche

    We leave for trek to Thyangboche (3,780 m) early in the morning after breakfast following a trail around the ridges for some spectacular views of Ama Dablam. Everest can be clearly seen on the horizon before we descend through splendid rhododendron forests for lunch. After lunch, we cross Dudh Koshi River once again and begin a long winding ascent that takes us to the famous Buddhist monastery of Thyangboche – built in 1912 and considered the spiritual and cultural center of these highlands. The monastery has been recently re-built with the assistance of Sir Edmund Hillary after it was destroyed by fire in 1989. As this area is a devout Buddhist region, the wildlife is unharmed so there is always a possibility that we may see some wild animals such as musk deer, mountain goat, and pheasants in the forest..

  • Trek To Dingboche

    The trail now ascends up to Imja Khola before an easy climb along a wide open trail to a small mountain village named Pangboche, sitting at 3,901 m. We may take a slight detour to visit an old monastery where Lama Geishi gives his blessings to those attempting to stand on Sagarmatha’s highest point. Then we gradually head uphill to Dingboche at 4,365 m as the trail passes through the valley surrounded by awe-inspiring mountains..

  • Trek To Lobuche

    Walking on barren slopes above the tree line, trek will have us see impressive peaks like Cholatse, Lobuche, and Pumori unfold before us. Rock Cairns dedicated to the memory of climbers who have died attempting the world’s highest mountains can be seen at Dugla Ridge. Further up, we begin to follow the longest glacier in Nepal – the Khumbu Glacier – to the Lobuche settlement at 4,955 m for our overnight stay. We will feel the temperature drop here as we become more elevated and exposed to the upper

  • Trek To Gorak Shep

    The trail follows the rocky moraine of the Khumbu Glacier toward the high settlement of Gorak Shep at 5,395 m where we stop for lunch before continuing our journey toward Everest Base Camp at 5,340 m. We’ll be spending some time here taking in the view before we descend back to Gorak Shep for the night. This spectacular village is surround by beautiful mountains, including Pumori (7,145 m), Lingtren (6,697 m), Nuptse (7,745 m) and of course Everest (8,850 m). Our average

  • Climb Kalapattar - Trek To Pheriche

    We’re up early this morning to climb Kalapattar at 5,545 m, which can take anywhere between 2 to 3 hours. If the weather’s on our side once we reach the top of the hill, we may be treated to one of best views of the great black pyramid that is Mount Everest. We then embark on our 8-hour descent into the village of Pheriche at 4,252 m.

  • Back To Namche Bazaar

    Headed on a roughly eight-hour trek back to Namche Bazaar at 3,440 m, we’ll make a stop at Pangboche Monastery – the oldest in the region – if we haven’t done so already on the way up. Otherwise, we can stop at the village to admire the view of Ama Dablam.

  • Back To Lukla

    We’re retracing our steps along the Dudh Koshi River – a beautiful and easy walk through pine and rhododendron forest with a view of Kusum Kanguru. Climbing out of the river valley, we head back to Lukla at 2,652 m to savour our final mountain sunset after around 6 hours of trekking.

  • Back To Kathmandu

    We’re boarding our beautiful flight through the Himalayan mountain range bright and early this morning to get back to Kathmandu. We’re transferred to our hotel upon arrival and have the remainder of the day to explore the city freely. Today also acts as a buffer in case our flight to or from Lukla is cancelled for weather reasons.

  • Free Day In Kathmandu

    There are plenty of interesting sites to visit in the Kathmandu valley, like Bhaktapur, the Old Palaces at Patan, Durbar Square, Swayambhunath (The Monkey Temple), or you can choose to wander into downtown Thamel to shop for souvenirs and sample the various restaurants of Kathmand
