Everest base camp trekking is an adventurous journey that will surpass all your expectations and create incredible memories for a lifetime. The trek takes place in the beautiful Khumbu region, home to four of the world's six tallest peaks Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Mount Everest.
Trekking through the Everest region offers astounding mountain views with an opportunity to explore the unique lifestyle of the world-famous climbers, the Sherpas. The Everest Base Camp weather is cold with changing winds and changing topography. The expedition offers a fabulous time in Sagarmatha National Park- a world heritage site and home to an assortment of Himalayan floras and faunas, a stop at the highest Buddhist monastery: Tengboche monastery, the most appreciated Everest views from the Kalapathar, and a trip to Everest Base Camp.
The journey to the Everest Base Camp begins with a scenic flight to Lukla from Kathmandu. We then start our walk from Lukla via culturally rich villages like Phakding, Khumjung and Namche Bazaar, Sagarmatha National Park, beautiful valleys, glacial rivers, Buddhist monasteries (Tengboche at the highest altitude), Rhododendron forest, glacier, and before reaching the most appreciated Everest viewpoint at Kalapathar (5545m) on the approach to Everest Base Camp. We stay in villages set against soaring, jagged pinnacles, explore the unique Sherpa culture, and walk trails lined with mani stones and colorful prayer flags. We will get stunning views of mountains such as Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Cho Oyu, Mt. Makalu, and Ama Dablam. But nothing beats the thrill and sense of triumph that grips travelers on seeing the mighty Mount Everest up close.
