Everest Base Camp Hiking
“Imagine how you feel when you trek in the shadow of the worlds highest peak, Sherpa Land and best Everest view from Kalapathar and Everest Base Camp”
Everest is the highest mountain in the world, and the view of Everest is on many people’s Bucket List. Everest Base Camp Trek is a perfect way to fulfill your dreams. Everest Base Camp Trekking provides you an experience to view the world highest peak and you will feel like you are in heaven. Moreover, Kala Patthar (5545m) gives you spectacular views of numerous mountains including Mt Everest. Mount Everest Base Camp Trek is the best and most popular trekking route in Nepal as well as in the world.
Everest Trek mainly starts from the small high mountainous airport of “Lukla” which is 35 minute scenic flight from Kathmandu airport. From Lukla our adventure really begins towards the shadow of Mt Everest. During the Everest Base Camp Trekking, we spend some enjoyable days hiking through the typical Sherpa villages and Buddhist monasteries. After we reach Namche, we will rest for two nights in order to acclimatize to the higher elevation and observe the culture and lifestyle of the Highland Sherpa people.
The main highlight of the Everest Base Camp trekking for everyone will be the top of Kala Patthar. The panorama view of rivers, avalanches and white glittering snowcapped peaks including Mt Everest from the top of Kala Patthar is breathtaking. Mt. Nuptse, Mt. Pumori, Mt. Lotse, Mt. Changtse, Khumbu Glacier, and the south-west face of Everest will be seen from the top of Kala Patthar.
Mt Everest Base Camp Trekking is done in high elevation so that good preparation and good equipment is essential. This Trek can be done all year round in any season. However, March to May and September to December is the best time. If your goal is to see Mt. Everest, we will ensure that you will remember this trip for the rest of your life.
