Everest Base Camp Trek - 16 Days
Everest Base Camp Trekking is one of the classic treks in Nepal , Climbing Everest base camp is most common two week trek starting and finishing at Lukla, the airport just to the south of Everest National park . The trek to Everest Base Camp (5400m) is without doubt one of the most famous in the world.We follow an ancient route that will take us through tiny villages, across high mountain passes, and through remote valleys, villages, and monasteries. The views grow even more spectacular as we venture up the Dudh Kosi River to Namche Bazaar, the gateway to the Khumbu region at 11,300 feet. We will spend a night next to the Thyangboche monastery (12,887 feet), where you will be rewarded with spectacular views of Ama Dablam, Mt. Everest, and Lhotse .
A non-technical climb of Kala Pattar (18,450 feet) highlights the truly spectacular panorama views of Mount Everest and many of the world's highest and most beautiful mountains. The return trek continues to delight adventurous souls with more spectacular mountain views, lush forested valleys, and opportunities to learn about the Nepalese religion and culture.
Everest Base Camp is a tough and demanding climb but not technical and should not be beyond most competent walkers. The base camp is the starting point for many of the expeditions to take on the summit . Our itineraries are carefully designed to ensure you have adequate time to acclimatise comfortably, thereby enjoying the trekking experience to the full.
