About Everest Base Camp
The Everest Base Camp Trek is likely the most storied walk on the planet. For decades it has inspired humanity with its otherworldly high-altitude landscapes and mystical Tibetan Buddhist heritage. For many, a dream-come-true trek challenges them to process staggering big-mountain views and alpine scenery
From the bustling Sherpa outpost of Lukla to the unobstructed panoramas gained from Kala Patthar, you will traverse Sagarmatha National Park. Moreover, you also get chances to immerse into the Sherpa culture. Furthermore, the EBC Trekking route also consists of some of the most dramatic high-mountain scenery on Earth. Along with that, you will encounter even a few of the rare species that call this region their home. The Everest Base Camp Trek is an empowering, fulfilling, and accessible walk all should experience at least once
Our walk begins in Lukla following a thrilling, scenic flight from Kathmandu to Tenzing-Hillary Airport. This flight introduces us to many of the mountains that will accompany us through much of our trek. From the higher eastern side of the valley, Dudh Koshi, the aqua-coloured glacially-fed river, that originates in higher altitudes of the Everest region accompanies the journey.
During our walk, we pass through Sherpa villages filled with Mani walls, prayer wheels, and legendary hospitality. We stop at Namche Bazaar (3440m), a bustling mountain-side village. This village is full of stories, delicious food, and excellent day hikes for acclimatizing. We discover Tengboche, the spiritual center of the Khumbu region, and home to its largest Gompa.
In the higher alpine, the trail continues over moraine trails, and glimpses of the glacier after glacier follow us. Trekkers also walk along the mysticism of colourful prayer flags and Mani walls. From Gorakshep, we bag Kala Patthar (5643m) and catch a killer sunrise and life-changing panoramic views of different mountains. Some major mountains visible from Kalapatthar include Everest (8848m), Amadablam (6812m), Lhotse Shar (8383m), Pumori (7161m), and Thamserku (6608m).
