Detailed Itinerary
Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, a representative from Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition will warmly welcome you and escort you to your hotel in Kathmandu.
After checking in and taking some time to rest, you will meet your trek leader and fellow team members. Our team will conduct a pre-trek briefing covering the itinerary, safety guidelines, trekking conditions, and important information about your Everest adventure. This is also the perfect time to clear any questions or concerns you may have.
You will have time to check your trekking gear, arrange any last-minute shopping, or explore Thamel, Kathmandu’s vibrant tourist hub, filled with restaurants, shops, cafés, and local attractions.
We recommend arriving in Kathmandu in the morning or during the daytime. An early arrival gives you enough time to rest and recover from jet lag before starting your Everest adventure. It also allows you to attend the pre-trek briefing and prepare comfortably for your early-morning flight to Lukla the following day.

What our travellers say
“The Manaslu trek is incomparable. It's suitable as a first trek in the Himalayas — plenty of time for acclimatisation and such captivating views that spending time on "altitude sickness" would be a pity. And it's a special pleasure to walk with Krishna. He is a knowledgeable, reliable and brave guide, and a very pleasa…”
