Everest base camp trek (Kathmandu)

Everest base camp trek

Everest Base Camp trek is an adventure of a lifetime that takes you to the base camp of the world s highest peak, Mt Everest (8848m). Witness breathtaking views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and a multitude of other peaks along with the serene Khumbu region. Have an authentic experience of the Sherpa culture and mountain lifestyle with the off chance of encountering some exotic Himalayan wildlife. The exhilarating Everest Base Camp trek starts with a scenic flight to Lukla. Follow the trails through Sherpa villages and trek past towering peaks towards Everest. Once above the tree line, you will be closer to the ice-giants than on any other trail. This 16 day Everest Base Camp Trek is designed to minimize the risk of AMS by limiting daily altitude increases. Two rest days are included as the altitude rises. The first is at Namche Bazaar: explore the town and nearby Khumjung to experience the culture, lifestyle and beliefs of the Sherpa People. Trek to the hilltop village of Tengboche which has a vibrant Buddhist Monastery. Continue through Pangboche to Dingboche for the second acclimatisation day: walk to Nangkartshang Gompa for unparalleled views of the Nuptse glacier, Ama Dablam’s north face glacier and to the east, Makalu.
