"EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK"
Everest Base Camp trek is arguably the most famous trekking route in the world, and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some of the most breathtaking scenery imaginable.
Khumbu is the home of Mount Everest (8,850m) - better known as Sagarmatha among Nepalis and Chomolongma among Tibetan -speaking communities. Located in the Sagarmatha National Park, many visitors come to this region to glimpse the world's highest peak but come away with much more: an appreciation of the local people who make their home in this high and difficult landscape, a spirit of adventure that brings them back to the Himalayas, and other individual and personal experiences.
On the Everest Base Camp Trek, as you hike through villages of the famous Sherpa people, you will be rewarded with spectacular views of snow-capped mountains that rise above the clouds. From Gorakshep at 17,100 ft., your highest camp, hike to the Everest Base Camp the site from where every year hundreds of climbers attempt to reach the summit of the tallest peak in the world. Also climb Kalapathar (18,195 ft) for an up-close view of the south face of Everest.
On the Everest Base camp trek, we reach the height of 18500ft (5545 metres), and is well within the reach of the average hill walker. If you have ever longed to set eyes on our highest mountain,then the view from Everest base camp will stay with you forever. Ever since the early days of climbing expeditions, the 8848m mountain has had a lure of its own; very few people return from this trek unmoved by the experience of gazing at Everest.
