Overview

Everest Base Camp Trek is one of the most famous mountain treks in the world. The journey takes us closer to the highest point on earth. This incredible Everest Base Camp trek starts with a short adventurous flight to mountain airstrip in Lukla. The trail to Everest Base Camp passes through mountain villages, Buddhist shrines, alpine forests, high pastureland, glaciers and glacial rivers. So, this is a beautiful journey to enjoy authentic natural and cultural beauty of the Everest region. It is a lifetime experience to enjoy trekking in high himalaya with an indescribable sight.

Although it is a tough journey, the views and experience from the beginning to the end is inspirational and breath-taking. The natural beauty in combination with the cultural essence is memorable. After more than 10 days of walk, enjoying the top of the world right in front of our eyes is an achievement in itself. The trek to EBC, which stands at an altitude of 5364m, can be challenging but very rewarding for the sense of achievement.

Throughout the journey, the beautiful Himalayas won’t leave your sight. The spectacular mountains embellish the skyline creating an ethereal beauty. Walking through the woodlands, rhododendron forests and suspension bridges we move through steep ridge lines. You’ll visit popular overnight stops such as Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche and Gorakshep. Each village represents unique cultural significance and spectacular mountain views. Striding further the path, stupas, gumbas, chortens and colourful prayer flags greet us, giving spiritual boost to our journey.

The flight is bound to be one of the most exhilarating you will ever take. Much of it is only a few thousand feet above ground and the views of the terraced landscape, winding river and valleys below, as well as the closeness of some of the world’s highest mountains make it a truly memorable experience.

It is a short but steep climb up to Lobuche (16175ft, 4930m), which is really just a few huts at the foot of giant Lobuche peak. Again the views are spectacular and the sunset on Nuptse, towering directly ahead of Lobuche is especially impressive.
