Take the leap & experience one of the headiest free fall over the highest drop zone in the world!

Everest Skydiving takes extreme sports to its ultimate limit. This is a challenge taking skydiving into two harsh and extreme environments – high altitude and extreme cold. Everest Skydive draws upon the knowledge and skills of an unusual group of tandem masters and skydivers, some of whom are also Everest mountaineers. Accompanied by an expert team, you will skydive from an altitude of over 29,000 feet and freefall in front of Everest, landing on the highest drop zone on the planet. The jump dates avoid
the 200mph jet stream that roars across Everest’s summit.

Different options are available for expedition members depending on their skydiving experience. Those with sufficient skydiving experience will make their jump solo and non-skydivers can make their jump with one of our qualified tandem masters.

So reach those dizzy heights, high above Mt. Everest and challenge yourself to experience the thrill of the number one extreme sport with Everest Skydiving. Free falling above Mt. Everest, thousands of feet in the air, so close to the mighty Himalayan peaks will be an experience of a lifetime.

Day 1: Arrive Kathmandu/ Transfer to Hotel Malla
You are greeted on your arrival at Kathmandu international airport and transferred to Hotel Malla. Afternoon briefing and meeting with the others before taking peddle rickshaws to the famous Rum Doodle Restaurant for Dinner.

Day 2: Sightseeing and familiarization in Kathmandu
Kathmandu is the historical and cultural heart of Nepal and has been a popular destination for tourists ever since Nepal opened its doors to visitors. The city presents a wonderful mix of Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism and Western influence in the Valley.

Patan and Bhaktapur, its two major neighboring cities bear immense historical, cultural and religious significance. There will be a half day guided tour to the famous and biggest Hindu shrine of Pashupatinath, the largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal Boudhanath, the 15th centurypalace of 55 windows and Swoyambhunath.

We will prepare our soft mountain bags and leave hard cases and excess materials at the Hotel until we return from our expedition.

Day 3: Fly to Lukla / Trek to Phakding
The flight to Lukla in Solu Khumbu (the main gateway to Mt Everest-29,035ft) takes about 45 minutes. In Lukla, you will meet your trek support team, your porters and the yaks.
Once all the large kit packs and equipment are allocated to porters and yaks, you take the downhill trail into the floor of the Dhud Khosi Valley close to the river, and slowly meander up and down well constructed paths through the villages to Phakding where you will stay overnight in a Sherpa lodge.

Day 4: Trek to Namche
After an early call and “bed tea”, instant coffee or hot chocolate, a bowl of warm washing water will be brought to your room. Once dressed, we recommend you pack before breakfast so that the porters can get under way as soon as they are ready.

After breakfast we start trekking very slowly. From Phakding, you cross and re-cross the river on high suspension bridges to Monjo. Beyond Monjo is the entrance to the Sagarmatha National Park. You then take a steep long trek to Namche Bazaar (11,320ft).Namche Bazaar is the main trading village in Khumbu and has a busy Saturday market - a meeting place for the Hindu traders from the lowlands and the Tibetan yak caravans that have crossed the glaciated Nangpa La. Overnight in a sherpa lodge in Namche Bazaar.

Day 5: Rest day in Namche
Namche is tucked away between two ridges amidst the giant peaks of the Khumbu and has an abundance of lodges, tea shops and souvenir shops as well as a magnificent outlook that seems to meet western standards, even at this remote mountain outpost.

The amazing Sherpa folks down here have learnt a lot from the big expeditions that have passed this way. It is an ideal place to spend a rest day, acclimatizing to the new altitude before heading off towards Tengboche.

Options for acclimatization walks include a visit to Khunde hospital which was set-up by Sir Edmund Hillary, or a one hour walk up to the Everest view hotel above Namche for the sunset view of Ama Dablam, Nuptse, Lhotse and Everest. There are also good views from the national park centre and museum just above the town.
We have a nice time at Namche and then settle in for the night.

Day 6: Trek to Thame
From Namche the route turns west and the trail is almost level as we head up the Bhote Kosi Valley, once a popular trading route into Tibet. Along the way we pass many prayer flags and mani stones, all indicative of the Tibetan Buddhist culture of this area. After descending to the Bhote Kosi the trail climbs steeply to Thame. From here there are good views of the peaks of Teng Kangpoche and Kwangde. To the north is the Nangpa La, the pass leading to Tibet. Thame Gompa is situated above the village overlooking the valley and is the site for the spring celebrations of the Mani Rimdu festival.

Day 7: Rest day in Thame / acclimatization

Day 8: Trek to Syangboche
Today, as part of the acclimatization program me, you will visit the Drop Zone. You will meet the 'advance party' of management staff and crew, who may well have left Katmandu to trek before you. They will meet and brief you and familiarize you on the equipment and routines that will apply to the Drop Zone during the parachuting program me.

Day 9: Test Jump
Excitement will mount with a full day on the Drop Zone. There will be familiarization and briefings for solo and tandem jumpers. This is a strict alcohol free zone for all, including observers, at all times. Familiarization jump from the Pilatus Porter P6 turbine for solo jumpers.

Day 10 – 13: Jump days
