Guests will find refuge among antique fountains, gilded temples, and emerald gardens while enjoying a state-of-the-art gymnasium, spa features, shopping arcades, atrium, tennis courts, and swimming pools.

Day: 2, duration: 1
Everest Summit Lodge—Lukla

Lying at the very gateway to mighty Mount Everest, the Everest Summit Lodge in Lukla has spacious, comfortably furnished rooms with en-suite facilities. The natural stone facade is complemented by a lovely sunny garden, and its traditionally appointed interior makes for a very warm welcome to arriving guests.

Day: 3, duration: 1
Everest Summit Lodge—Monjo

Rest in comfort at the Everest Summit Lodge in picturesque Monjo. The setting is spectacular, overlooking the village and the narrow Dudh Kosi valley, and with the dreamlike backdrop of magnificent Thamserku rising high up behind the lodge. Hot tea and warm staff help every guest feel welcome.

Day: 4, duration: 1
Hotel Namche

Travelers boast about the location (not uphill!) and the kind staff of this simple but comfortable lodging in the heart of Namche Bazaar. Guests can enjoy the restaurant, bar, and outdoor patio.

Mountain Lodges—Everest Base Camp Trek

Bhattis, mountain lodges or local inns, have existed in Nepal for centuries. Most are family-run with private rooms for guests, and some offer private bathrooms.

Breakfasts and dinners are served in the dining room — wear warm clothing to meals.
