From Kathmandu, you will take a short internal flight to Lukla, a small mountain town at an altitude of 2860 metres. From here, a 5 day trek up into the Khumbu Valley must be completed. All the time, you will be gaining height and slowly acclimitising.
Walking along the steep, winding trail, you will encounter mountain porters and yak herders, peaceful villages and friendly locals. Local culture will sink in as you pass by mountain shrines and stay overnight in our selected local teahouses.
The scenery is truly stunning as you climb higher towards Everest.
Evenings are usually spent together as an expedition team. Dinner is taken in the teahouse, but where possible, there will be the chance to explore the local sites, stores and amenities. As the night draws in, your hosts will share stories from Sherpa folklore.
Over the course of your trek, the Captive Adventure team will monitor your rate of ascent to ensure you acclimatise safely.

The path is carefully planned and an experienced mountain doctor will be permanently on-hand to deal with any signs of altitude sickness.
On day 5 we will reach Syangboche, the base of all operations for Everest Skydive. Once at the drop zone, our hand-picked team of experts will help you make final preparations.
