Trip Overview

Everest Base Camp is the starting point for climbers attempting to summit Mount Everest. Located at an altitude of 5,364 meters in Nepal’s Khumbu region, it is a popular trekking destination for adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers. The journey offers breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and mountain villages. The base camp serves as a temporary residence for climbers and support staff during the climbing season from April to May and September to November. It is a challenging but rewarding experience for those who seek adventure in the majestic Himalayas.

We begin Everest Base Camp Trek with a short domestic flight to Lukla. Afterward, we rely on our own feet for the rest of the journey. From the first day, you will get a blend of mountain views and the local Sherpa culture. You spent nights most of the nights in lodges. You will also get enough time for an acclimatization rest day. You need not necessarily climb mountains for an adventure experience. Once you complete this trek, you will realize it.

Everest Base Camp Trek follows the Dudhkoshi River (upstream). It passes through Dudhkoshi Valley surrounded by Thamserku and Kusum Kanguru peaks. Pass through the colorful Namche Bazar and Tengboche. And, finally ascend to Kalapatthar, the highest point on our adventure EBC trek.
