Everything starts from capital, Kathmandu. The Hanuman Dhoka is a must visit.

A flight brings you to Lukla in 45 minutes from Kathmandu giving you a breathtaking view
of the great Himalayan peaks.

The bridge high above the Dudh Kosi takes you to the right bank of the river.
Immediately thereafter the climb to the Namche Bazaar starts.
