Day 04 Fly Kathmandu to Lukla

A picturesque flight to Lukla early in the morning. We will meet our camp staff and porters in Lukla and leave immediately for our first overnight stop in Phakding. Phakding is on the main commerce route through the area and is located on the banks of the Dudh Kosi, which drains the entire Khumbu valley. There are a number of tidy, well-built lodges where we can stay the night.

Day 05 Trek to Namche Bazar

Before arriving at the settlement of Monjo, where we will enter the Khumbu National Park, continue along the Dudh Kosi’s banks, and cross it twice via short suspension bridges. To get to Namche Bazaar, one must first cross the Dudh Kosi and Bhote Kosi rivers on a high suspension bridge and then climb steadily for almost two hours. The capital of the Khumbu district and a thriving market town, it is home to genuine Tibetan treasures.

Day 06 At leisure in Namche Bazar

We stay in Namche Bazar for a day to recover and enable our bodies to adjust to the 3,450 m altitude (11,300ft).

Day 07 Trek to Thyangboche

High above the Dudh Kosi, the well-traveled Everest trail contours around the slope of the valley. Continue on the path while taking in the initial, excellent views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam, among the major peaks of the Khumbu. Cross the Dudh Kosi River, passing by various towns and tea stores, and then ascent steeply to Thyangboche, which is home to a magnificent monastery that has recently been restored.

Day 08 Trek to Dingboche

The trail gradually descends to the river and crosses another airy suspension bridge while being shaded by rhododendron trees. We can reach Pangboche, a fantastic vantage point for Ama Dablam, after an hour of walking from here. Reach the charming farming community of Dingboche by contouring up the valley side, crossing the river again, and turning up the Imja valley.

Day 09 Acclimatization

This portion of the expedition is crucial. A nice place to adjust to altitude is Dingboche. In order to facilitate gradual acclimatization, the team leader will plan regular excursions to the nearby hills. To gradually increase exposure to altitude, walk up some of the local hills. To ensure that you get the greatest acclimatization possible before you reach base camp, stick to the regimen that you have previously found to be most effective. At a hospital managed by the Himalayan Rescue Association close to Pheriche, we can take part in a session on high altitude acclimatization while we’re in Dingboche. The trip to Pheriche and return will be a beneficial acclimatization exercise.

Day 10 Trek to Lobuche

Retrace your steps back to Pheriche and then carry on up the trail to base camp. Find Dugla, a convenient lunch location located beneath the Khumbu Glacier’s snout. Following lunch, the trail begins a tough ascent up the glacier peak. The track eventually arrives at a little collection of tea houses at Lobuche after a couple of hours of travel.

Day 11 Trek to Nuptse Base Camp

Follow a reasonable trail to Gorak Shep while sloping along the valley’s edge and gazing down at the Khumbu Glacier. A couple of little tea houses currently stand where the base camp once stood in 1953. After leaving Gorak Shep, the trail continues along the Khumbu Glacier’s moraine before veering among piles of debris and eventually arriving at base camp close to the Khumbu Icefall. We shall reside here for the ensuing six weeks.

Day 12 Rest, Acclimatization, and preparation

This is one of the important days of the expedition. Similarly, during his journey, it is very important to rest and acclimatize during the trip. Because during this trip, you will be traveling at the higher altitudes as the day passes. so, taking a break between and enjoying the trip is always important.

The period between 13 to 37 days is very exciting as during this period one will be climbing to Mount Nuptse and enjoying the beautiful sounding of the place.

Trip Info

How Difficult is to Climb Mount Nuptse?

 

The Everest region’s Mount Nuptse Expedition is a Technical & Serious Climb. The following common elements influence how challenging the Mt. Nuptse Expedition is:

 

Nuptse Climbing Challenges

 

It is difficult to climb Mount Nuptse or Nubtse since the summit is quite dangerous due to loose snow and numerous hollows. It is challenging for climbers to reach the peak of Mount Nuptse because of the snow cornices’ shaky attachments.

 

Climbing Mount Nuptse

 

Mount Nuptse, the main peak Nuptse I(7861 m) was first summited by a British expedition Group via the North-ridge Route (Scott-route) on 16 May 1961 by Dennis Davis and Sherpa Tashi. However, until September 1996, the Nuptse summit received only two more expeditions.

The next attempt for climbing Nuptse was done by a joint British/Nepalese Army team following the same Scott Route in 1975 but again the expedition team fell from the final couloir, making the expedition to summit as unsuccessful. The expedition remained unsuccessful probably of having been knocked off by a stone fall or snow slide.

We did the Annapurna Circuit with Unique Path and our trip was amazing! Everything was seamless: all accommodation was booked in advance and we got good rooms along the route; all our transport was on time and we found our driver very safe; and we were told where to be and when. Babu, who organised our trip, thought of everything and was very flexible and professional. We ended up changing our original plan. All our hotels/ flights / transport were adjusted accordingly. Babu also helped organise a tour of Kathmandu for us. On top of that our guide & porter (Ishwor & Ramesh) were great. They were knowledgeable, fun, caring and aware of mountain safety. We had a great time spending 14 days with them and felt like we were in very capable hands! We can’t wait to come back and do a different trek with them and would recommend to any Nepal visitors!
