Everest Base Camp Trek Overview

The Everest Base Camp trek combines the convenience of well-maintained paths with the raw beauty of the Himalayas. The Everest region, located in the lap of the mighty Himalayas, is recognized for its beautiful scenery and welcoming Sherpa people. This adventure not only brings you to the base of the world’s highest peak but also immerses you in the rich culture and traditions of Nepal.

The 14 day Everest Base Camp trek will take you to a height of roughly 5,364 meters. It provides panoramic views of many 8,000-meter-high summits. You can witness the incredible view of Pumori, Lhotse, Nuptse, Lobuche, and other peaks, as well as the iconic Mt Everest itself.

The EBC trek journey begins with a breathtaking 35-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla in the month of (January, February, June, July, August and December) or a 20 minutes flight from Manthali/Ramechhap to Lukla including a 5 to 6 hours drive from Kathmandu to Manthali in the month of March, April, May, October and November.

The Mount Everest Base Camp trek begins and ends in Lukla. The journey starts along the Dudh Koshi River’s bank, passing through the Sagarmatha National Park on the way to Namche Bazaar. Namche is the main trading point in the Everest region, also popularly known as an acclimatization destination for Everest region treks.

The walk is challenging, but the beautiful scenery of verdant forests, farmland, hills, and mountains will inspire you to keep going. We will depart Namche Bazaar after a day of acclimatization and continue our trek to Tengboche.

Upon arriving, we visit the renowned Tengboche Monastery. We will continue our walk to Dingboche and eventually to Lobuche from here. During the hike, you will be able to see Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam, and many more peaks.

Continuing the journey, we hike to Gorak Shep and walk alongside the Khumbu Glacier until we reach mount Everest base camp. The Khumbu Glacier, the world’s deepest glacier, can also be seen from the Everest base camp. We then return to Gorak Shep to spend the night.
