Everest Base Camp Trek

A trek which takes you into the heart of the mountains and the culture of the Everest region-to be the boot of the great peak itself.

Commencing in Lukla you trek up to the Sherpa ‘capital’ of Namche Bazaar. A day is spent here for acclimatization and just soakingup the atmosphere of this bustling village before heading on up through Tengboche (visiting the great monastery), Pheriche, Lobuche village and finally to your highest camp at Gorakshep.

This is the jumping off point for the climb up to Kala Pattar for spectacular views of Mt. Everest, and the walk into Everest Base Camp. This really is breathtaking mountain scenery and is well worth the effort of getting there. It is a relatively short trek which will have you standing literally at the foot of the world’s greatest peak.
