Everest Base Camp Trekking

Everest Base Camp trek, is designed to fulfill the dream of many people of experiencing the historic route to the base of the world's highest mountain. Our carefully devised itinerary provides a fine opportunity to visit both Base Camp and the nearby peak of Kala Pattar (5555m) for uninterrupted views of Mt Everest. We trek the more remote trails along the far side of the Khumbu valley, savoring the high mountain views from our selected campsites in the company of our Sherpa guides, whose knowledge and passion for trekking in the Khumbu add a further dimension to this memorable trek. Most commonly visited as a two week trek starting and finishing at Lukla. After a thirty five minute flight from Kathmandu landing at Lukla’s tiny airstrip, the adventure really begins.

 We spend the next few days trekking and interacting amongst the mountain people also known as Shepra’s staying at local lodges and trek into the heartland of their villages. Everything is organized in conjunction with Sherpa guides. While passing Buddhist monasteries views of Everest get closer every day. Acclimatizing is very important so we will have rest days in the villages of Namche and Dingboche that will allow us to explore the region and acclimatize. Although this trek is called Everest Base Camp Trek, our goal is the summit of Kalapattar at an elevation of 5555 meters, which is higher than Everest Base Camp. After trekking to Kalapattar we return at our leisurely pace back to Namche and Lukla for our return flight to Kathmandu. For the more adventurous trekkers you have the option of returning over the Cho La pass to the Gokyo valley, and then ascending Gokyo Ri. Or if you are really fit, you can attempt the summit of Island Peak.
