Everest Base Camp Yoga Trek as a Spiritual Awakening. Nepal, known to many as a trekker’s paradise, offers a charming Himalayan view combined with golden temples, scenic hill villages, and jungle wildlife. The Nepal Himalaya is the ultimate travel destination for mountain lovers.
Known as the land of gods and goddesses, Nepal holds many temples for Hindus and Buddhists. Ancient temples still stand in many corners of the towns of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. What is more amazing in this country is that despite the difference in religion, there has never been any conflict in their spiritual practice. Hindus would worship at the Buddhist temple and Buddhist would do the same.

Trekking in the Himalayas 2022
Boasting the world’s highest mountain, Nepal is a country of adventure for outdoor lovers and mountaineers. Fantastic trekking experience awaits every individual with so many mountains and towering snowy summits. There are the 7132-meter Mount Api, the 8586-meter Kanchenjunga, and the looping trek encircling the Annapurna Range. Of course, the most loved and most challenging of them all is the Mt.

Everest Base Camp (ECB), also known as the “tent city”, is the most highly recognized trekking destinations in the world. Here, mountaineers making an attempt to reach the summit set up tents and sleeping bags. With the destination’s popularity, trekking services and infrastructures have increased over the years. There are lodges and modern luxuries available at the Base Camp that include hot showers, Wi-Fi, trekking and tour packages, yoga lessons, massages, and more.

Yoga as a Spiritual Discipline
Yoga, by definition, means to connect or unite. More than just a physical exercise, it cultivates your inner soul and enhances overall wellness. It improves your body strength, relieves stress, sharpens the mind, and calms the nervous system. For many people, yoga is practiced to enhance their inner spirituality. Yoga is a mental practice that goes deeper than just having a toned body and perfect abs. When you practice yoga, you become aware of the spirit or the energy within you. You cultivate a sense of mindfulness to that greater driving force, a motivation or logic behind why we think and do what we do.
It is known in the yoga culture that Shiva is the first guru or the first yogi. Shiva was happy no matter what state he was in – whether he was dancing or just sitting still. His first teaching to his wife and consort Parvathi was all about intimacy-- being graceful and radiant. Intimacy in yoga does not mean sexuality; it refers to conformity and acceptance. The second teaching was extended to the Sapta Rishis. It taught the fundamental processes of life – gaining mastery over the process of creation and detachment.

Day 03:April 6 2023 Fly to Lukla and Trek to Phakding (2,652m), 3 hours of walk Wake Up early morning to take a flight to Lukla, you will receive a packed breakfast. From the Kathmandu
domestic airport, we will take 40 - 45 minutes flight to Lukla (9,186ft). Enjoy one of the most beautiful air
routes in the world on a hillside surrounded by mountainous peaks. We will meet the rest of our crew
members at the Lukla airport, a gateway destination from where our trek begins. A gentle walk to Phakding
village through Chaurikharka village, Mt. Khumbila, and monastery. Evening yoga and meditation season.
Day 04:April 7 2023 Phakding to Namche Bazaar (3,440m), 6 hours walk. This is the day that you hear the most is the trek into Namche Bazaar, walking through a beautiful pine
forest Dudh Koshi River and go on passing Chumoa to Monjo, and the entrance to Everest National Park.
Then after crossing a suspension bridge, we pass Jorsale village and walk alongside the Dudh Koshi and
Bhote Koshi rivers. The path to Namche is very well traveled so you'll continually come across locals, other
tourists and then continue traffic of Yaks and porter. It is infamous for its long consistent steep inclines
uphill brings us to the prime heartland of Sherpa village - Namche Bazaar. At one hour’s distance to
reaching Namche Bazaar, we can view the sights of Mt. Everest and Mt. Lhotse. Overnight in Namche
Bazaar.
Day 05:April 8 2023 Acclimatization, hike to Everest view hotel (3,900m) 3 - 4 hours walk. There are plenty of things to do around Namche Bazaar, we wake up to another spectacular morning and
view from our room and sun rose of the breathtaking mountains. Let us make you clear something up that is
a big misunderstanding about the Acclimatization day. Acclimatization day is not a rest day, it is something
completely different so don’t think that after the huge climb of getting into Namche Bazaar you’ll spend
today lazing around the lodges or shopping in local stores. Our team will take you to explore the real charm
of Namche Bazaar. So after breakfast, we will start the gentle hike up to Everest view hotel where we can
see the views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kongde and so on. Back to

Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Ama Dablam and Thamserku peak. The trail is smooth with few ups and downs up to
Kyangjuma. We are least bothered about the trail as the majestic views of the Himalayas makes our
expedition full of excitement. After Kyangjuma the trail is downhill a bit and we will cross the Dudh Kosi
River and then a gentle climb up to Tengboche. Tengboche is a wonderful place to have scenic views of Mt.

(3860m).
Day 07:April 10 2023 Phortse Thanga Trek to Machhermo. This is another best place to wake up early morning with the spectacular view of Mountains surrounding you. From the Monastery, you will hear the early morning chanting by the Monks which make your morning blessed and peaceful.l Along the way Mt. Amadablam will be smiling on our right side. We will pass through Imja River, chortens, stupas, small villages, tea houses and people working on their farm. Pretty much
easier trail and after crossing Pheriche pass a gentle uphill which makes you feel like now you are adjusting to the altitude. Overnight at Dingboche.
Day 08:April 11 2023 Machhermo to Gokyo. Today you might feel some breathing disorder while crossing the Thugla pass due to the altitude but no need to panic.

other Himalayan ranges from Kalapattar. The morning will be cold so we all have to wear warm clothes to

Helpful Tips For Everest Base Camp Yoga Retreat Nepal.
Always carry Nepalese rupees in small bills on your trek. The amount of care depends on the area and the duration of the trek. A guideline for this will be presented during our trek briefing. The money will only be required for the purchase of soft/hard bottled drinks and souvenirs along the way. Other money and valuables should be kept in a safe deposit box in your hotel in Kathmandu.

Altitude sickness a serious consideration if you are climbing or trekking in Nepal and it is essential that you investigate the causes, symptoms, and treatment of altitude sickness before you travel to Nepal. There are approximately three deaths per year in Nepal from altitude sickness, but with the right precautions, there is no reason why you should become one of these statistics.
Acclimatizations the word used to describe the adjustments your body makes as it ascends. You should adjust your schedule so that you average no more than 400 meters per day of ascent above 3,000 meters. If you fail to allow time for acclimatization, you may develop symptoms of Attitude mountaineering System. The AMS may be mild enough to go away with a days rest or if ignored may lead to death. All that is required to ensure a safe trek is basic awareness of AMS, and a willingness to rest or descend if you develop symptoms. Day Tours Nepal designed itinerary based on elevation.
