On your arrival to Kathmandu from Tribhuwan International Airport (TIA), the representative from Nepal Holiday Treks and Tours welcome you and then you shall be transferred to the categorized Hotel in Kathmandu to which you are comfortable with. Later in the afternoon, you shall have 2 hours yoga session, yogic breathing, and meditation.

After returning from the visit, in the evening time, there will be 2 hours of a yoga session for relaxation in the hotel.

Our trip starts from the domestic terminal of TIA taking the early morning flight to Lukla. While we are in the air flying, we shall be entertained with lots of panoramic view of the dazzling White Mountains and beautiful scenic villages beneath us. In no time we shall find ourselves at Tenzing-Hillary Airport, Lukla which is one of the most beautiful and thrilling air routes in the world culminating in a land on a hillside surrounded by high mountains.  And then we start following the trail towards Phakding making through along the beautiful Sherpa valleys.

We shall relax at the teahouse in the destination and later end of the day with your first 2hours yoga and meditation session in the trekking destination. We shall stay overnight at the tea house in Phakding.

Our trek will begin with a quick 1-hour yoga and meditation session for the relaxed beginning of the day. Then, on our way to Namche following Dudh Koshi River, we shall be enjoying the beautiful view of the glistening Mt. Thamserku (6608m) on our right, also experience the serenity of pine, fir and juniper forests throughout our journey. If lucky we may even catch a glimpse of Mt.

After that, we will hike up to the Syangboche Airport which lies closer to the Everest View Hotel where we can observe the views of the Himalayas with an astonishing sunrise and sunset over the panorama of Khumbu peaks. Namche is a colourful village which includes interesting and exhilarating shops and vendors, fabulous food, and stunning views of mountains. For the better start off tomorrow morning, better and sound sleep is needed. So, in the evening time, there will be 2hours yoga and meditation session again for proper relaxation.

With 1hour yoga and meditation session in the morning, we will start the day further up on the trail. As we climb steeply out of valley passing through the rhododendron forest, we will see juniper and large conifers according to the altitude being increased which makes the trekking very much pristine in the spring. We will observe Khumbu La and Teacher throughout the day. After a busy day of exploring Khumbu La and Teacher, we shall end the day with our regular session of 1hour yoga and meditation session. Overnight will be staying in Phortse.

After 1hour of quick yoga and meditation session, the journey begins again and we will be climbing steadily along the side of the valley. As we climb up to more altitude, we will find the small and thorny bushes give way to scrub juniper. The trail takes us through many summer settlements, which are used when yaks are taken to these pastures to graze in the summer months. Ahead of us are excellent views of Cho Oyu, while behind us down the valley are the peaks of Kantega and Thamserku.

With our regular 1-hour yoga and meditation session we shall end our day for today. An early sleep is requested as the journey begins little bit complicated with more height.

The final lake is known as DudhPokhari and on its eastern shore is the settlement of Gokyo.

For the today’s 2 hours yoga and meditation session, we choose Gokyo Ri on the top. Gokyo is situated by the side of famous glacier Ngozumpa.
