The ‘Everest Base Camp Trek’ is a famous hiking journey in the Himalayas of Nepal. Mt. Everest (8848m) is situated in the Sagarmatha National Park (Natural World Heritage Site). The Everest region is locally known as Khumbu where we experience the rich culture of the Sherpa people and the most iconic mountain views in the world.

The journey begins with the flight to Lukla (Tenzin – Hillary Airport) at elevation 2840m after you spent a day discovering the historic treasures of Kathmandu and trek preparation. Hiking trails are lined with Mani-stones (carving with Buddhist prayers), prayers flags (five different colors), Stupas and ancient monasteries en-route of Everest Base Camp Trek.

We take you to the Sherpa villages and explains their unique culture and festivals such as Mani Rimdum and Dumje etc. Sherpa has a tale of a Yeti.

We follow safe acclimatization rules and also carefully design trek schedules for acclimatization in the high altitude that helps you successfully achieved a trip of a lifetime to Everest Base Camp (EBC) at 5364m. We include ascents to the best viewpoints such as Kala Pattar (5545m) to see close up views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, South Col, Nuptse, Puma Ri, Khumbutse, Khumbu Icefalls, and Khumbu glacier, etc.
