We had booked the Everest X-Press for 9 days, shortly before the start of the trip I got a call from the tour guide....
We had booked the Everest X-Press for 9 days, shortly before the start of the trip I got a call from the tour guide. He asked if we wanted to extend the tour as we had planned a buffer day before and after. After a long back and forth, we agreed to start a day earlier in order to acclimatize for an extra day in Namche Bazzar. However, our flight from Doha to Kathmandu was delayed by over 6 hours and we arrived much too late, as all flights and helicopters were booked for an indefinite period due to the storms. Lukla could only be approached in good weather. We were therefore asked if we wanted to switch to the ABC with additional Poon Hill Trek instead of the EBC. As we had no other choice we agreed and the person who had picked us up from the airport, who is also a trained guide, told us he needed 3 hours then he would be ready for the adventure up to the ABC. Without further ado, we sat in a public minibus from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Due to the landslides and roadworks on this route, the journey took over 10 hours and we arrived in Pokhara late at night. From there we took a cab to the entry point to climb Poon Hill. The hike was fabulously beautiful and well organized. The guide was extremely helpful and happily assisted us with everything. We reached ABC with ease as planned. On the descent to Jhinu, our guide also invited us to the local hot springs. We returned by plane from Pokhara to Kathmandu. We were able to arrange the flight simply by sending a WhatsApp message to the tour guide. All in all, an extremely exciting and beautiful adventure trip. The people in Nepal are very nice, sincere and helpful. The only thing is that the times are more of an "estimated guess".Show more

  Traveler•Written April 2026
  Does the express walk have time to acclamation. How many miles or kilometres do we have to trek each day. And how much weight do we have to carry?
- World Travel ExperiencesOperator•Written April 2026
  This is the shortest possible Everest trek hence no acclimatization extra day in it. Per day walk approx 10 to 15 km, 5 to 8 hrs a day walking.
  
  Hence suggested for the very physically fit person.
  
  If you wish to take some relaxing tour with acclimatization day we suggest you to take 14 days program.
  
  If you do not want to carry the load by your self, we can provide porter for extra cost. But if you carry your belongings by yourself, it would be approx 10 to 12 kg load.
