We'll arrive in Kathmandu and conduct some sightseeing, as well as some shopping if you need anything for the trip.

We will be taking a flight from Kathmandu to Lukla; The Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary Airport which will be an exciting and Specialtiesadventurous flight with a marvelous view of landscapes and snow-capped mountains.

After walking for 3 hours we will reach Jorsalle where we will have our lunch and then afterward climb a steep hill and reach Namche Bazaar walking for 2 and a half hours which is a total walk of 6 hours.

So it is the rest day today to acclimatize our body and to avoid AMS through the trail. At Namche we can go sightseeing while we stay there, we can go around and hang out as there are restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, and groceries.

Then from the ascending path from Thukla leads you to the array of cairn memorials and heaps of stones with prayer flags as a remembrance for those mountaineers who lost their lives during the time of summiting Mt.
