Day 02 - Trek Prep & City Tour
We tour Durbar Square, Pashupatinath Temple, Swayambhunath Stupa, and Bouddhanath Stupa which are all UNESCO world heritage sites. We will also be doing a justice tour of the Red Light District to close out the day.

Day 03 - Fly to Lukla (9,199ft ~ 40 min) and Trek to Phakding (8,562ft ~ 4 hours)
Our guides will take us to the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu for an early morning 40 minute scenic flight to Tenzing and Hillary Airport in Lukla. After landing we have time to explore the village.
Lukla is considered the world's most dangerous airport. Check out this video...while dangerous, the views are incredible!
Once we land here, this is where we begin our trek in the Everest region. We will start by descending towards the Dudh Kosi River where we join the main trail.

On an easy walk, we will pass through the small village of Ghat (8,366ft), and then it is only a short walk to Phakding.

I'm loving walking through this itinerary and checking out photos and reading more about this adventure. It's getting me more excited and mentally prepared. Physically I'm ready but keep training... my biscuits are burning from this morning's workout thanks to my awesome coaches at Align :)
Hope you'll stick around to see it play out and would appreciate if you could consider a donation.
