Overview And Highlights

Everest Base Camp is one of the most popular treks in Nepal. It lies in the lap of world’s highest mountain Mount Everest. The trek takes you through the alpine diversity of nature with numbers of stunning attractions. The Everest Base camp trek is simply a journey that takes you right to the heart of high Himalayas of Khumbu region. Trekking to the base camp of the world’s highest summit along with interacting with the friendly and helpful Sherpa’s known for their loyalty and warm hospitality, exploring the rural Nepal and the life of people living there, visiting the old age monasteries and most of all having an enthralling life time adventurous journey is exactly what an Everest Base Camp Trek is.

Everest Base Camp Trek can be started by taking a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla or by driving to Jiri or Shivalaya. Most of the trekkers start the journey by flying to Lukla as it saves most of the time than driving to Jiri and start trekking from there. But if you have time and want to travel via less crowded route then you can drive to Jiri and start trekking from there and fly out by Lukla. Make sure you have scheduled two days for acclimatization at Namche and Pheriche to avoid altitude sickness.

On our trek you will reach at a high point of 5545m to the best view point on earth which is Kalapatthar. It offers the superb view of Mount Everest along with other several mountains.
