What to Expect
Experience epic views of Mt. Everest and the Himalayas on a 12 to 14-day mountain trek to Everest Base Camp, and see the world’s highest mountain peak closer than you ever have before! Follow in the footsteps of early mountaineers and expeditions as you navigate the paths of the 8,848-meter mountain. Come face-to-face with icy façades, and discover why the trek to Everest Base Camp has become one of the most loved trekking routes in Nepal.

Start your trek from Lukla after a 30-minute flight from Kathmandu. Upon landing at the tiny airstrip in Lukla, head off for several days into the homelands of the ethnic Sherpa people. See Buddhist monasteries in Tengboche and Panboche, and get close-up views of Mt. Everest and the adjoining Ama Dablam, said by many to be among the most attractive mountains in Nepal.

Spend 2 nights at Namche Bazaar, the bustling market town in the heart of Sherpa country. Go to Pheriche to see a cluster of houses set among the high, summer grazing pastures. Spend some time in Namche Bazaar to explore and acclimatize – an important factor to enjoy your trek.

Those who fully acclimatize can continue to Everest Base Camp, but without a doubt the main highlight will be the brilliant views of Mt. Everest, Mt. Pumori and the notable landmark of Kala Patthar. See the extraordinary ice sculptures of the Khumbu Glacier and the mountain of Nuptse on the southwest face of Mt. Everest.
