Everest Base Camp Trek

The Mount Everest (Khumbu) region is the most popular trekking area in Nepal. Everest Base Camp Trek includes the highest Mountain of the world, Mount Everest (8848m) and many peaks of altitude above 8000m, such as Lhotse, Cho Oyu and Makalu. This trek is the grandest walk in the land of the Himalayas. The Everest Base Camp Trek is not only famous for its world's highest mountains but also for its high mountain picturesque villages, friendly Sherpa people, Sherpa culture, traditions and the monasteries. The Himalayan floras and faunas are other ornaments of the Sagarmatha National Park. The story of the Yeti, which is still mystery in the world, is also from the Khumbu region. It is an opportunity to embark on an epic journey that Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay set off on in 1953. The main goal of Everest trek is Everest Base Camp at an elevation of 5364m. We can't see Everest from the base camp, so we climb to Kala Patthar, a 5545m bump on the southern flank of Pumori (7165m), from there is a dramatic view of Everest and many other mountains.

The Everest Base Camp Trek start from Lukla, takes you through lush green valley with rich floras and faunas, past friendly Sherpa villages and Buddhist monasteries, and far above the tree line towards the world's highest mountains. Ama Dablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, Everest and Pumori tower above you.
