Everest Base Camp Yoga Trek: 16-Day Yoga & Meditation Itinerary

Arrival in Kathmandu (1,400 m), a trek briefing, and an optional gentle evening yoga session to shake off the travel and meet the instructor. The plan for daily practice, breathwork, and how it fits around the acclimatisation schedule is introduced here.

The short flight to Lukla (2,860 m), then an easy downhill first day to Phakding (2,610 m) along the Dudh Koshi. A restorative evening stretch eases the group into the trek.

A morning breathwork session, then river trail and suspension bridges into Sagarmatha National Park at Monjo and the switchback climb to Namche Bazaar (3,440 m). The evening practice focuses on opening tired legs and hips after the long climb.

A morning yoga session, then a "climb high, sleep low" walk to the Everest View Hotel (3,880 m) and Khumjung, returning to Namche. A restorative evening practice with breathwork tuned to help the body adapt to the altitude.

An extra rest day that keeps this yoga itinerary unhurried. A longer morning practice and meditation, a gentle wander around the market town, and an afternoon of recovery — banking a second night at altitude while the mind and body settle.

The contouring trail and a forest climb to Tengboche (3,860 m). Arriving at the Khumbu's largest monastery, the group can attend the late-afternoon monks' prayers — a natural tie-in to the trek's meditative theme, with Everest and Ama Dablam behind the courtyard.

A quiet meditation and gentle practice at Tengboche (3,860 m) at first light, the spiritual heart of the region, before walking down through Deboche and up past Pangboche into the open country around Dingboche (4,410 m). Practice becomes gentler now the group is above 4,000 m.

An acclimatisation hike up Nangkartshang (5,083 m) by day, and gentle, restorative yoga with slow breathing morning and evening — no intense or breath-holding work at this altitude, just practice that supports sleep and recovery.

Up past Dughla (4,620 m) and the Chupki Lhara memorials to Lobuche (4,940 m). A short, quiet evening session focused on relaxation and breathing to aid sleep at the cold, high camp.

To Gorak Shep (5,164 m), then across the glacier to Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) beneath the Khumbu Icefall. A few quiet minutes of breathing and reflection at the Base Camp boulders before returning to Gorak Shep for the night.

★ Everest Base Camp (5,364 m)

A pre-dawn climb to Kala Patthar (5,644 m) for the clearest view of Everest's summit at sunrise, then a long descent to Pheriche (4,240 m). A restorative evening session welcomes the return to thicker air.

★ Kala Patthar (5,644 m)

A long descending day back through Tengboche to Namche Bazaar (3,440 m), with a fuller evening practice now that the richer air below 4,000 m allows a slightly stronger session.

The final trekking day down the valley to Lukla (2,860 m), with a closing practice in the evening and thanks to the guide, porter, and instructor.

Morning flight back to Kathmandu (1,400 m), a free afternoon, and a farewell dinner. A buffer day is wise in case Lukla weather delays the flight.

A flexible buffer day that absorbs any Lukla delay and offers an optional closing yoga and meditation session, plus time to visit Kathmandu's Buddhist sites such as Boudhanath.
